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`
Build a Java JDBC service	`java-oracle-jdbc` → `java-oracle-jdbc/dependencies` → `java-oracle-jdbc/connections` → `java-oracle-jdbc/sql` → `java-oracle-jdbc/pooling-production`
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)
