Absolutely, Daidipya. Here's a deeper and broader breakdown of areas where Oracle tables can be identified, analyzed, and relocated or optimized, including the queries and approaches you can use. This helps not only with performance but also in backup optimization, data archiving, and storage planning.
📁 A. Identify Tables for Segregation or Movement
🔸 1. Read-Only Candidates (Static / Archival Data)
✅ Use Case:
Tables that are no longer updated (e.g., old financial years, logs, historical orders) can be moved to read-only tablespaces.
🔍 Query:
📦 Next Step:
-
Move to a dedicated tablespace
-
Convert the tablespace to
READ ONLY
🔸 2. Small, Unused, or Inactive Tables (Clean-up / Tier 3)
✅ Use Case:
Tables with very low row counts or no recent access (and no FK references) might be candidates for archiving or removal.
🔍 Query:
Optionally: cross-check for foreign keys via
dba_constraints.
🔸 3. Large Tables with High Update/Insert Frequency (Hot Data)
✅ Use Case:
High DML tables should be:
-
Partitioned
-
Placed in high-performance tablespaces
-
Possibly segregated by module/application
🔍 Query:
🔸 4. LOB-heavy Tables (Move to separate LOB tablespaces)
✅ Use Case:
Large unstructured data like documents or images can benefit from:
-
SECUREFILEwith compression/deduplication -
Moving LOBs to a dedicated tablespace
🔍 Query:
🔸 5. Tables with Frequent Full Table Scans (Tuning Required)
✅ Use Case:
Tables accessed via FTS may need better indexing or partitioning.
🔍 Query:
Pair this with execution plans from AWR/ASH or SQL Monitor.
🛠️ B. Suggested Actions and Movement Techniques
🔁 1. Move to Separate Tablespace
Rebuild indexes after moving.
🔄 2. Shrink Space or Reorg Table
🔂 3. Partition Table
💾 4. Create Read-Only Tablespace
🧩 C. Advanced Identification (Optional)
🔬 1. Query Usage from AWR (with License)
🧮 2. Estimate Space Saved After Moving/Compressing
Compare before and after for
MOVE/SHRINK.
📌 Summary Table: What to Identify & Where to Move
| Use Case | Identify With Query On | Move To / Action |
|---|---|---|
| Historical, inactive tables | dba_tables, dba_tab_modifications | Read-only tablespace |
| LOB-heavy tables | dba_lobs | Dedicated LOB tablespace, enable SecureFile |
| Hot DML tables | dba_tab_modifications, stats | Partitioned + faster storage |
| Small/unreferenced tables | dba_tables, dba_constraints | Archive schema / drop |
| Tables with FTS | v$segment_statistics | Add indexes, partition or tune SQL |
| Low-usage over AWR period | dba_hist_seg_stat | Archive, shrink, or reorganize |
Would you like a consolidated PL/SQL or shell-based report that gives this profiling for every table in a schema or across databases?
