SEGMENT ADVISOR The segment advisor is used to find out if a segment is a candidate for shrink operation.

Generally tables on which frequent update,delete and insert operations are performed gets fragmented. As a result of which the table occupies more space than what is required by it. This leads to reading of more data blocks during full scan. Thus increasing the response time of queries on that table. In order to overcome this type of problem we need to identify the tables that are candidates for shrink operation. The S G! "T A#$IS%& enables us to do so. 'or the demonstration let us do the followings () *reate a table +) ,opulate it with records -) #elete few records .) Again insert few records /) &epeat steps + 0 . few times in order to create the fragmentation 1) 'inally run the segment advisor to get recommendations 2) Shrink the segment S345 create table hr.emp + as - select 6 from hr.employees . where (78(9 1 Table created.
