Have you looked at dbcheck.pl from hobbit-perl-cl (on Sourceforge)?

I had tried dbcheck.pl a few years ago and I think it appeared more complicated and required database privileges that I did not have. Perhaps I should revisit the script and see if I have much better luck the second time around.
You can quite easily disable checks that you don't want, or that require privileges you don't have.
However, a quick look at the roracle.ksh script looks like it does pretty much what dbcheck.pl does by default.
