1、查看操作系統版本 
SQL> select * from v$version; 
BANNER 
---------------------------------------------------------------- 
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod 
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production 
CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production 
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production 
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production 
SQL> 

2、查看預警日志文件（alert_sid.log）的位置 
SQL> show parameter dump 
NAME TYPE VALUE 
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------ 
background_core_dump string partial 
background_dump_dest string /u01/oracle/admin/bdump 
core_dump_dest string /u01/oracle/admin/cdump 
max_dump_file_size string 10240 
shadow_core_dump string partial 
user_dump_dest string /u01/oracle/admin/udump 

3、創建目錄alert 
注意：directory不是實體，只是一個指向，指向os中一個路徑 
SQL> create or replace directory alert as '/u01/oracle/admin/bdump'; 
Directory created. 
SQL> 

4、創建外部表alert 
SQL> create table alert 
1 (log varchar2(1000)) 
2 organization external 
3 (type oracle_loader 
4 default directory alert 
5 access parameters 
6 (records delimited by newline) 
7 location ('alert_PROD.log')) 
8 reject limit unlimited; 
Table created. 

5、查看alert中的內容 
SQL> select * from alert where rownum<20; 
LOG 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6、看看數據庫有哪些 可愛的ORA- 錯誤吧 
SQL> select * from alert where log like '%ORA-%'; 
LOG
