Hi How do you document your databases? The only DBA tool that I have at my disposal is Designer but I have not used it yet. Is it adequate to completely document the life cycle of a database design? I am sure it can create and retain pretty straight forward DDL. Does it allow build levels? What do you do with the DBA tinkering - things like which tablespace a table goes into, storage clauses, parameters like PCTFREE, PCTUSED,etc? Where do you document your pfile?
What about when you have to alter a table after the database is in production? Do you document the alter script itself or do you go back and change the original DDL? Then there are things like SQL*LDR control files, security (all the grants) and all the auditing that has been turned on. Where do you keep all this stuff? Thanks in advance for any advice.
