     OPTIMIZE AN ORACLE DATABASE WITH ADVANCED WAIT DETAIL 
     ANALYSIS
     http://techrepublic.or10.net/r/?ZXU=164244&ZXD=102033
     System-wide tuning of an Oracle database often requires the 
     retrieval of detailed event-based information from the data 
     dictionary. The query presented in this PDF file joins the 
     v_$session_event view with the v$session and v$bgprocess 
     views to develop a quick portrait of all event waits, cate-
     gorized by session and background process name.

     TWO SCRIPTS THAT WILL HELP YOU MAINTAIN AND SECURE AN ORACLE
     DATABASE
     http://techrepublic.or10.net/r/?ZXU=164245&ZXD=102033
     For many Oracle DBAs, scripts are invaluable for efficient 
     maintenance and security of enterprise data. You'll find 
     scripts in this PDF document to help automate several day-
     to-day processes, including file system monitoring to prev-
     ent complete system failure, and queries designed to audit 
     the security landscape of your Oracle database.

     http://techrepublic.or10.net/r/?ZXU=164246&ZXD=102033
     Maintaining and optimizing Oracle databases often requires 
     tools that go well beyond standard operating procedures. 
     This article and accompanying code demonstrate step-by-step 
     how to generate a simple treemap to show you at a glance if 
     your tablespaces have enough free space.
