Running the (Segment) Space Advisor - on a Partitioned Table

Here is a quick demo on running the Segment Space Advisor manually

I need to start with the ADVISOR privilege

$sqlplus

Grant succeeded.

SQL> exit
Disconnected from Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production

I can then connect with my account to run the Advisor

I can then review the advise :

SQL> set serveroutput on
begin
FOR cur_rec IN (SELECT f.impact,
                         o.type,
                         o.attr1,
                         o.attr2,

                         o.attr4,
                         f.message,

                  WHERE  f.object_id = o.object_id 
                  AND f.task_name = o.task_name
                  AND f.task_name = 'Advice on My SALES_DATA Table' 
                  ORDER BY f.impact DESC)
  LOOP
