SQL Access Advisor

SQL Access Advisor,is a tuning tool that provides advice on materialized views, indexes, and materialized view logs.
The SQL Access Advisor helps you achieve your performance goals by recommending the proper set of materialized views, materialized view logs, and indexes for a given workload.
Understanding and using these structures is essential when optimizing SQL as they can result in significant performance improvements in data retrieval.
The SQL Access Advisor recommends bitmap, function-based, and B-tree indexes. A bitmap index offers a reduced response time for many types of ad hoc queries and reduced storage requirements compared to other indexing techniques. B-tree indexes are most commonly used in a data warehouse to index unique or near-unique keys.
The SQL Access Advisor can be run from Oracle Enterprise Manager (accessible from the Advisor Central page) using the SQL Access Advisor Wizard or by invoking the DBMS_ADVISOR package.
