DBA Tool Mailing List

OraFocus.com is championing the start of the development of a DBA Tool. This tool will be web based (JSP, PL/SQL) and allow scripts to be plugged in. SourceForge will host the development services for this Open Source project. Visit OraFocus.com to read more on how to sign up to join the mailing list. Your input and assistance is more than welcome.

Uniform Extent Reorganization

Linking to an article that describes this technique and provides all necessary scripts. Uniform extent reorganization reduces fragmentation and you have less chance of getting the 'unable to allocate next extent' error message.

New Forms Components

File uploader and spell checking components for Oracle Forms are available from Oracle's TechNet.

Summary

The big news this week is the DBA tool mailing list. Anyone interested in assisting development, giving suggestions and testing this tool can now sign up.
