An index of my TPT scripts

Tanel Poder

2011-03-24

A lot of people have asked me whether there’s some sort of index or “table of contents” of my TPT scripts (there’s over 1000 in my TPT script repo right now).

I have planned to create such index for years, but never got to it. I probably never will :) So a good way to extract the descriptions of some scripts is to just grep for Purpose: in the scripts directory:

grep -i Purpose: ash/*.sql awr/*.sql *.sql | awk -F: '{ printf("%20s %-50s\n", $1, $3) }'

Here’s the output (currently only 10% of the scripts out of about 1000 have a purpose declared):

$ grep -i Purpose: ash/*.sql awr/*.sql *.sql | awk -F: '{ printf("%20s %-50s\n", $1, $3) }'
