Measures reported by OraTabSizeTest

Larger tables in an Oracle database server may be prone to fragmentation which may reduce the performance of the database as well as result in longer query times when a full scan is performed. To improve the overall performance of the database server and optimize the query times, it is essential to check whether the tables are indexed appropriately and if partitioning of the tables are necessary. This check when performed on the larger tables, will automatically improve the query response time thus providing a better overall performance. Prior to performing this check, the administrators should identify the tables that are large and are more resource intensive on their database. The OraTabSizeTest helps the administrators to determine such large tables.

This test tracks the tables in an Oracle database server and reports the number of tables that are larger than the configured limit.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Tables_count Indicates the number of tables in the database server that exceed the limit configured against the TABLE SIZE GB parameter. Number A high value for this measure is a cause of concern. The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of each table that is large and its corresponding size.
