SAP Note 927813 - Oracle 10g: Using Oracle Segment Advisor to optimize space

Component : Oracle -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/927813 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Note details the utilization and optimization of segments in Oracle databases via the Segment Advisor, available from Oracle 10g. This tool helps identify segments with poor space utilization and excessive chained rows. It includes automatic and manual operations; the former runs through scheduled jobs in the Oracle database, while the latter requires specific commands executed in SQLPLUS with SYSDBA privileges. Recommendations for reducing execution frequency or disabling the Segment Advisor are provided to enhance performance. Modifications through DBMS_SCHEDULER are discussed alongside methods for managing and analyzing segment space using predefined tasks and parameters in DBMS_ADVISOR and DBMS_SPACE.
