Using Segment Advisor
You can use Segment Advisor to provide advice on whether an object is a good candidate for a shrink operation based on the level of space fragmentation within an object. The advisor also reports on the historical growth trend of segments. You can use this information for capacity planning and for arriving at an informed decision about which segments to shrink. Use the Segment Advisor wizard to evaluate objects for block and space usage and to determine whether space can be saved by shrinking highly fragmented segments. The space gained by the implementation of these recommendations is returned to the tablespace. You can launch the Segment Advisor from the Advisor Central page or you can initiate it in the context of a schema object, such as an index, table, tablespace, or materialized view.
To run Segment Adviso, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the Database Home page.
2. In the Related Links section, click on Advisor Central. The Advisor Central page appears displaying a list of all Advisors available to you and a table showing the results of Advisor tasks that have previously been initiated.
3. Select Segment Advisor from the list of Advisors.
Using the SQL Access Advisor
The SQL Access Advisor helps define appropriate access structures such as indexes and materialized views to optimize SQL queries.
