Introduction
The main goal of this document is serving as a base for SAP Basis Administrator who work with
Oracle Databases and want to perform simple checks.

I will try to improve this document as much as I can.

Of course, do not hesitate to collaborate by adding more SQL queries.

Find tables being used by tablespace

SELECT table_name

WHERE tablespace_name=PSAPSR37XX;

Check autoextend
SELECT TABLESPACE_NAME,SEGMENT_SPACE_MANAGEMENT

Check what is the retention period for PSAPUNDO

To see all user who were locked by the system admin

SELECT bname
FROM <schema-name>.USR02
WHERE uflag=64 and mandt='<client-id>;

Unlock user account

ALTER <USERNAME> ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

Create user
CREATE USER <USERNAME> IDENTIFIED BY <PASSWORD> [PROFILE
<PROFILE_NAME>]

Delete SAP* user (or another user)

First we check if user exists. Then delete it.
SELECT MANDT, BNAME
FROM <DB_SCHEMA>.USR02
WHERE MANDT = XXX AND BNAME = SAP*;

DELETE
FROM <DB_SCHEMA>.USR02
WHERE MANDT = XXX AND BNAME = SAP*;

(change <DB_SCHEMA> and MANDT)

Password complexity
Execute script sap_utlpwdmg.sql from SAP Note 1522952 in SQL Plus:
@sap_utlpwdmg.sql
Activate complexity in profiles:
ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION
verify_function_sap;
ALTER PROFILE SAPUPROF LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION verify_function_sap;

Deativate complexity in profiles:

ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION NULL;
ALTER PROFILE SAPUPROF LIMIT PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION NULL;
