Any tool available for identifying junk code?
Hi Guys,
Sorry, if this sounds bit awkward or unrelated to this mailing list.
Can any one of you please let me know whether there is any tool available to identify
junk code in an application. My applications are written in Oracle Forms and VB.
Backend is Oracle.
I am in the process of tuning these applications. I can see lots of poorly written
SQLs. These can be tuned from backend as well as changing SQLs in forms. But what
about poorly written logic?
As such, I am going thr' each and every line of code and tuning it wherever necessary,
but plenty of time will require to complete this process. If there is any tool
available which identify the problem, then I've to directly go to the application/code
and modify it.
If I've to rewrite whole application, then its massive task.
Please help.
TIA,
Regards,
Sandeep.

Sandeep, you message at the end contained a bunch of useless characters,
is that an example of junk code?

But it's a mountain to climb. IMHO, try to concentrate on 'problem' code - check V$SQLAREA at regular intervals to see the top 'buffer_gets' queries, you do not only have individual queries, you will also see (command_type = 47) stored PL/SQL procedures, and they may point you to bad logic; listen to users to. Fortunately there is a lot of terrible code that nobody really worries about. The first thing I would do in your case would be to put calls to dbms_application_info everywhere, setting 'module' and 'action' to identify 'atomic business processes' (if such a thing exists), then use coffee-machine information and a bit of monitoring to check what really hurts and concentrate on that. Otherwise you risk spending a lot of time on improvements that nobody will ever notice. -- HTH, Stephane Faroult Oriole Software -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

I like the "then use coffee-machine information" part. --- Stephane Faroult <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : > Sandeep Kurliye wrote: > > > > Hi Guys, > > > > Sorry, if this sounds bit awkward or unrelated to > this mailing list. > > > > Can any one of you please let me know whether > there is any tool available to identify junk code in > an application.
