| Diagnose a slow query | explain-plan → wait-events → optimizer-stats → awr-reports |
| Plan a migration | migration-assessment → oracle-migration-tools → source-specific migrate-*.md → migration-cutover-strategy |
| Build RAG on Oracle Database | ai-profiles → vector-search → dbms-vector |
| Perform agent-safe schema change | schema-discovery → destructive-op-guards → idempotency-patterns → schema-migrations |
| Set up AI-driven database access via MCP | sqlcl-basics (save connections) → security/privilege-management (least-privilege user) → sqlcl-mcp-server (configure + start) |
