Oracle Database guidance for SQL, PL/SQL, SQLcl, ORDS, administration, app development, performance, security, migrations, and agent-safe database workflows. Use when the user asks to write, edit, rewrite, review, format, debug, tune, or explain SQL; create or refactor PL/SQL; use SQLcl, Liquibase, ORDS, JDBC, node-oracledb, Python, Java, .NET, or database frameworks; troubleshoot queries, sessions, locks, waits, indexes, optimizer plans, AWR, ASH, migrations, schemas, users, roles, privileges, backup, recovery, Data Guard, RAC, multitenant, containers, monitoring, auditing, encryption, VPD, or safe agent database operations.

Common Multi-Step Flows
| Task | Recommended Sequence |
|---|---|
| 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) |
