Oracle Data Architect

Responsibilities:

• Data Warehouse Architect responsible for the design, building, testing, and documentation of an Enterprise Data Warehouse integrating several source system schemas using Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB 11gR1) and Oracle 11g. Designing and implementing the ETL process using several staging schemas and an Operational Data Store for reporting using Business Objects. Dashboards are being implemented for monitoring the job feeds as well as monitoring data quality. The stage and target star / snowflake schemas are being designed and modeled using ERWin as a data modeling tool
• Designed and implemented stage, vault, and datamart schemas using Oracle 10g database, Oracle Warehouse Builder11gR1
• Developed several Oracle database standards documents including schema design, installation+patch, feed system designs, database configurations, as well as installation documents and security..
• Provided input to activities for the teams on issues they may be working on, or to any production issue that needs addressing.
• Reviewed all tables in the eprd and mprd database where the clob columns are used. 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.
• Reviewed Oracle's Exadata techology as it relates to Hybred-Columnar Compression (HCC) and its applicability to our current database schema design. If we were to migrate to an Exadata system, provided recommendations to the tables that would benefit from HCC, and if and how the HCC would work with standard clob compression. 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.
• Reviewed the impact of changing the SDU size at the SQLNet layer for the production eprd and mprd database to a 32k value. Researched the current work load on the eprd and mprd database and provide a listing of the most likely sql statement that will benefit from that change. Additionally, also provided an estimate of the possible improvements for those sql statements.
