Answer option D is correct.
The SQL Tuning Advisor takes one or more SQL statements and performs an analysis to determine what can
be done to improve the performance of the SQL statement(s).
Recommendations include rewriting the SQL statement,adding indexes, or even changing initialization
parameters or memory component sizes such as the SGA size or buffer cache.
The SQL Tuning Advisor is accessed via tools such as Top SQL, the Automatic SQL Tuning Advisor, or the
Top Sessions interface from within EM. In contrast, the SQL Access Advisor takes a broader view of SQL
tuning. It considers a larger subset of SQL statements, such as all SQL statements run within a specified time
period or from a SQL Tuning Set (STS). The SQL Access advisor may recommend additional indexes as well
as materialized views to improve performance.
The SQL Repair Advisor analyzes a SQL statement that causes a critical error and records the results in the
Automatic Diagnostic Repository (ADR). It may recommend a patch to fix the problem, or may provide an
alternate execution plan to avoid causing an error in the future.
Other advisors within the advisory framework include memory advisors that monitor usage of the SGA and
PGA and recommend optimal settings for these memory structures including the substructures within them,
such as the library cache and the large pool.
Answer option A is incorrect. The SQL Repair Advisor only makes recommendations for SQL statements that
cause a critical error in the ADR.
Answer option B is incorrect. There is no such advisor such as the SQL Optimizer, although the Oracle
optimizer uses statistics to determine the best execution plan.
Answer option C is incorrect. The SQL Access Advisor analyzes groups of SQL statements that run during the
same time period, not one or two SQL statements in isolation as the SQL Tuning Advisor does.
