I’m an experienced Cloud/Oracle Applications/DBA Architect with more than 15 years of full-time DBA/Architect experience. I have gained wide knowledge on Oracle and Non-Oracle software stack running on-prem and on Cloud and have worked on several big projects for multi-national companies. I enjoy working with leading-edge technology and have a passion for Cloud architecture, automation, database performance, and stability. Thankfully my work allows me time for researching new technologies (and to write about them).

Reorg tables and indexes in Oracle EBS Applications – Best Practices

Usually in OLTP environment like EBS Applications, tables are often get fragmented due to multiple DML activities that happens.Fragmented tables cause queries on those tables to slow down. It is very important to de-fragment this table and to reclaim the fragmented space from these objects.

For EBS we have also seen  that usually gathered statistics, indexing and proper SQL tuning is plenty to improve and maintain acceptable performance but sometime it is required to reorg the table.

One primary cause of fragmentation is that when you run delete command on the tables it delete the rows but doesn’t frees up the memory and also do not changes the high water mark.
