-- File name:   dba.sql
-- Purpose:     Convert Data Block Address (a 6 byte hex number) to file#, block#
--              and find to which segment it belongs
--
-- Author:      Tanel Poder
-- Copyright:   (c) http://www.tanelpoder.com
--              
-- Usage:       @dba <data_block_address>
--              @dba 40EB02
-- 	        
--	        
-- Other:       This script also tries to identify the segment into which this
--              block belongs. It first queries X$BH, as if this block is really
--              hot, it should be in buffer cache. Note that you can change this
--              query to use V$BH if you dont have access to X$ tables.
--              If the block is not in buffer cache anymore, then this script
--              can query DBA_EXTENTS next, but this can be a IO intensive operation
--              on some systems, so if X$BH already answers your question, press
--              CTRL+C here.
