DBA Text Search
Description:
Full text search through database source code objects such as packages, procedures, functions, triggers etc. The search can also be done using regular expressions. To retrieve incorrect custom code such as a frequent performance issue calling the fnd_concurrent.wait_for_request\s function with a zero interval time, for example, use parameter ‘Multi Line Regex search’ with the following value: fnd_concurrent.wait_for_request\s(\srequest_id\s=>\s\w+\s,\sinterval\s=>\s0\s*,
Parameters
Code Text contains, Multi Line Regex search, Cote Text Regexp search, Multi Line window size, Object Name starts with, FND Message Text, Object Type, Schema, Line Number From, Line Number To

Case Study & Technical Analysis
Abstract
The DBA Text Search report is a powerful code analysis tool that performs full-text searches across the database’s stored procedures, functions, packages, and triggers. Unlike simple string matching, this report supports Regular Expressions (Regex), enabling sophisticated pattern matching to find complex coding structures, deprecated API calls, or hard-coded values.
Technical Analysis
Core Features
- Regex Support: Allows for patterns like
fnd_concurrent\.wait_for_request\s*\(.*interval\s*=>\s*0to find specific dangerous function calls regardless of whitespace formatting. - Context: Can return lines of code surrounding the match (window size), providing immediate context for the developer.
- Scope: Searches
DBA_SOURCE, covering all PL/SQL code in the database.
Key View
DBA_SOURCE: The text of the stored objects.
Operational Use Cases
- Impact Analysis: Finding all custom code that calls a specific Oracle API before applying a patch that changes that API.
- Code Quality: Scanning for forbidden patterns (e.g.,
GRANT DBA, hardcoded passwords, orSELECT *). - Refactoring: Locating all usages of a table or column within PL/SQL logic.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
