When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to:

• Write Oracle SQL or PL/SQL (stored procedures, functions, triggers, packages)
• Design tables, indexes, partitions, or constraints in Oracle
• Tune query performance with EXPLAIN PLAN, AWR, or ASH reports
• Manage Oracle administration (users, roles, tablespaces, RMAN backup)
• Configure RAC, Data Guard, or Oracle replication

How to use this skill

Workflow

1. Identify the task - SQL writing, PL/SQL development, performance tuning, or DBA operations
2. Write the code - Use the patterns below matching Oracle syntax
3. Analyze performance - Run EXPLAIN PLAN or review AWR snapshots
4. Apply Oracle-specific best practices - Bind variables, partitioning, RMAN

Quick-Start Example: PL/SQL Procedure with Error Handling

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE transfer_funds(
    p_from_acct  IN NUMBER,
    p_to_acct    IN NUMBER,
    p_amount     IN NUMBER
) AS
    v_balance NUMBER;
BEGIN
    -- Check source balance
    SELECT balance INTO v_balance
    FROM accounts WHERE account_id = p_from_acct
    FOR UPDATE;

    IF v_balance < p_amount THEN
        RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'Insufficient funds');
    END IF;

    UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - p_amount WHERE account_id = p_from_acct;
    UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + p_amount WHERE account_id = p_to_acct;

    COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
        ROLLBACK;
        RAISE;
END transfer_funds;
/

Performance Analysis

EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
SELECT /*+ INDEX(o idx_orders_date) */ * FROM orders o WHERE order_date > SYSDATE - 30;

SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);

Best Practices

1. Use bind variables - Prevent SQL injection and hard parsing; never concatenate user input into SQL
2. Partition large tables - Range partition on date columns; hash partition for even distribution
3. RMAN backup strategy - Full weekly + incremental daily; test restore procedures quarterly
4. Monitor wait events - Use AWR/ASH to identify I/O, latch, or lock contention
5. Audit and secure - Use Oracle Audit Vault; grant least-privilege roles; encrypt sensitive columns
