Executive Summary
The DBA Parameters report audits the database initialization parameters (init.ora / spfile). These parameters control every aspect of the database’s behavior, from memory allocation (sga_target) to optimizer behavior (optimizer_features_enable). Incorrect parameters are a leading cause of performance issues and instability.
Business Challenge
- Standardization: “Does our Production database have the same parameters as our Test database?”
- Performance Tuning: “Is
cursor_sharingset toEXACTorFORCE?” - Change Tracking: “Who changed
open_cursorsfrom 1000 to 500?”
Solution
This report lists the current value of all database parameters.
Key Features:
- Is Default: Indicates if the parameter is set to its default value or has been overridden.
- Is Modified: Shows if the parameter was changed in the current session.
- RAC Consistency: In a RAC environment, checks if parameters are consistent across all instances.
Architecture
The report queries GV$PARAMETER.
Key Tables:
GV$PARAMETER: The in-memory view of active parameters.
Impact
- Stability: Prevents “drift” where configuration changes are made in one environment but not others.
- Best Practices: Allows DBAs to validate settings against Oracle Support recommendations (e.g., “bde_chk_cbo.sql”).
- Troubleshooting: Quickly rules out misconfiguration as the cause of a new issue.
