SQL Tuning Advisor Options and
Recommendations

Copyright © 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

 Using the SQL Tuning Advisor

• Use the SQL Tuning Advisor to analyze SQL

statements and obtain performance
recommendations.
• Sources for SQL Tuning Advisor to analyze
– Top SQL: Analyzes the top SQL statements
currently active
– SQL Tuning Sets: Analyzes a set of SQL statements
you provide
– Snapshots: Analyzes a snapshot
– Baselines: Analyzes a baseline

Using the SQL Tuning Advisor: Example

 SQL Tuning Advisor: SQL Statistics

select count(*) from x select count(*) from x

where object_id < 340 where object_id < 220

Each statement causes a hard parse.

• Automatic Shared Memory Management:

– Is recommended to simplify management
– Enables you to specify the total SGA memory
through one initialization parameter
– Enables the Oracle server to manage the amount of
memory allocated to the shared pool, Java pool,
buffer cache, streams pool, and the large pool
• Manually setting shared memory management:
– Sizes the components through multiple individual
initialization parameters
– Uses the Memory Advisor to make
recommendations
