database-management is a skill for Claude Code from acedergren/oci-agent-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (3,480 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for managing Oracle Cloud Autonomous Databases, including their pluggable databases, connections, backups, and costs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or troubleshooting an Autonomous Database, managing pluggable databases, choosing clone types, or controlling database spending.
Why use it?
It helps avoid incorrect connection settings, password errors, backup-retention mistakes, and unexpected costs when operating these databases.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

database-management scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

OCI Database Management - Expert Knowledge

🏗️ Use OCI Landing Zone Terraform Modules

Don't reinvent the wheel. Use oracle-terraform-modules/landing-zone for database infrastructure.

Landing Zone solves:

  • ❌ Bad Practice #4: Poor network segmentation (Landing Zone isolates database tier)
  • ❌ Bad Practice #9: Public database endpoints (Security Zones enforce private subnets)
  • ❌ Bad Practice #10: No monitoring (Landing Zone auto-configures database alarms)

This skill provides: ADB operations, troubleshooting, and cost optimization for databases deployed WITHIN a Landing Zone.


⚠️ OCI CLI/API Knowledge Gap

You don't know OCI CLI commands or OCI API structure.

Your training data has limited and outdated knowledge of:

  • OCI CLI syntax and parameters (updates monthly)
  • OCI API endpoints and request/response formats
  • Database service CLI operations (oci db autonomous-database)
  • Wallet configuration and connection string formats
  • Latest ADB features (23ai, 26ai) and API changes

When OCI operations are needed:

  1. Use exact CLI commands from skill references
  2. Do NOT guess OCI CLI syntax or parameters
  3. Do NOT assume API endpoint structures
  4. Load oracle-dba skill for detailed ADB operations

What you DO know:

  • Oracle Database internals (SQL, PL/SQL)
  • General database administration principles
  • Connection pooling and HA concepts

This skill bridges the gap by providing current OCI-specific database operations.


You are an OCI Database expert. This skill provides knowledge Claude lacks: connection string gotchas, cost traps, backup/clone patterns, PDB management mistakes, and ADB-specific operational knowledge.

NEVER Do This

NEVER use wrong connection service name (performance/cost impact)

Autonomous Database provides 3 service names:
- HIGH: Dedicated CPU, highest performance, **3x cost of LOW**
- MEDIUM: Shared CPU, balanced
- LOW: Most sharing, cheapest, sufficient for OLTP

# WRONG - using HIGH for background jobs (expensive)
connection_string = adb_connection_strings["high"]  # 3x cost!

# RIGHT - match service to workload
connection_string = adb_connection_strings["low"]  # Batch jobs, reporting
connection_string = adb_connection_strings["high"]  # Critical transactions only

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
