Explanation

The Automatic SQL Tuning Advisor (ASTA) runs during scheduled maintenance windows and is the only Oracle tuning feature that can both recommend AND automatically implement a change: accepting SQL profiles. A SQL profile stores supplemental optimizer statistics for a specific query, and if ASTA determines the profile yields a 3x or greater performance improvement, it automatically accepts it without DBA intervention. All other recommendation types - restructuring SQL statements (B), creating indexes (C), reducing wait events (D), and partitioning tables (E) - are advisory only; a DBA must manually review and implement them. Wait event reduction (D) is also outside the SQL Tuning Advisor's scope entirely; that falls under the SQL Access Advisor or manual tuning.
