Which of the following identifies and creates an index to minimize the DB time for a particular SQL statement?
A.
The SGA Tuning Advisor
B.
The SQL Access Advisor
C.
The SQL Tuning Advisor
D.
The Memory Advisor
Explanation:
The SQL Access Advisor allows the DBA to gather global recommendations for a workload. The SQL Tuning
advisor is more granular, tuning a single statement.
The main functions of the SQL Access advisor is to recommend missing indexes and materialized views, but a
comprehensive task analysis will also create SQL Profiles that can be used within the SQL Tuning advisor. The
DBA defines the SQL used in the SQL Access Advisor task, and can choose current SQL, a user-defined set of
SQL, a historical workload, or a hypothetical workload.
A hypothetical workload is very useful because the DBA need-only specify the tables that participate in the
queries, and the SQL Access Advisor gathers the appropriate SQL statements to create the workload. The SQL
Tuning Advisor (STA) is primarily designed to replace the manual tuning of SQL statements and speed up the
overall SQL tuning process. The SQL Tuning Advisor studies poorly executing SQL statements and evaluates
resource consumption in terms of CPU, I/O, and temporary space.
The SQL Tuning Advisor (STA) works with the Automatic Tuning Optimizer (ATO) to analyze historical SQL
workload using data from the AWR, and it generates recommendations for new indexes and materialized views
that will reduce the disk I/O associated with troublesome SQL statements.
