For the clob columns that are not compressed, review and make recommendations on addition tables/clobs that would benefit from compression. Made sure to review the usage patterns for all the tables where clob columns are used. Researched on how the table and its clob column are used by the application and if the clob compression is appropriate. Reviewing the top sql reports was a good starting point for this activity.

Reviewing the top sql reports was a good starting point for this activity.
• Reviewed the eprd and mprd databases for space shrinking/coalescing opportunities. The application team is implementing more data purging and data archiving activities, which is creating more storage maintenance work. We may need to be more active in maintaining free space storage. Provided a review of the current shrinking opportunities and those tables that might need it in the future base on current sql work loads. Reviewing the top sql reports was a good starting point for this activity.
• Created sql tuning sets to provide aggregate overview of sql performance during peek and off-hours windows for the GD3 database. Created a set of two tuning sets. One for daily work starting from 6am to 6pm. And one for nightly work from 6pm to 6am and had this integration for (eint/mint) and production (eprd/mprd) databases. Currently there are a few tuning sets already created, pmr ts and daily sts - Dropped these and created new ones in the integration and production environments.
