QUESTION 1
In your multitenant container database (CDB) containing pluggable database (PDBs),
you granted the CREATE TABLE
privilege to the common user C # # A_ADMIN in root and all PDBs.
You execute the following command from the root container:
SQL > REVOKE create table FROM C # # A_ADMIN;
What is the result?
A. It executes successfully and the CREATE TABLE privilege is revoked from C # #
A_ADMIN in root only.
B. It fails and reports an error because the CONTAINER=ALL clause is not used.
C. It excludes successfully and the CREATE TABLE privilege is revoked from C # #
A_ADMIN in root and all PDBs.
D. It fails and reports an error because the CONTAINER=CURRENT clause is not
used.
E. It executes successfully and the CREATE TABLE privilege is revoked from C # #
A_ADMIN in all PDBs.
Answer: A
Explanation
REVOKE ..FROM
If the current container is the root:
/ Specify CONTAINER = CURRENT to revoke a locally granted system privilege,
object privilege, or role from a
common user or common role. The privilege or role is revoked from the user or role
only in the root. This clause does
not revoke privileges granted with CONTAINER = ALL.
/ Specify CONTAINER = ALL to revoke a commonly granted system privilege,
object privilege on a common object, or
role from a common user or common role. The privilege or role is revoked from the
user or role across the entire CDB.
This clause can revoke only a privilege or role granted with CONTAINER = ALL
from the specified common user or
common role. This clause does not revoke privileges granted locally with
CONTAINER = CURRENT. However, any
locally granted privileges that depend on the commonly granted privilege being
revoked are also revoked.
If you omit this clause, then CONTAINER = CURRENT is the default.

QUESTION 2
You conned using SQL Plus to the root container of a multitenant container database
(CDB) with SYSDBA privilege.
The CDB has several pluggable databases (PDBs) open in the read/write mode. There
are ongoing transactions in both
the CDB and PDBs.
What happens alter issuing the SHUTDOWN TRANSACTIONAL statement?
A. The shutdown proceeds immediately. The shutdown proceeds as soon as all
transactions in the PDBs are either
committed or rolled hack.
B. The shutdown proceeds as soon as all transactions in the CDB are either committed
or rolled back.
C. The shutdown proceeds as soon as all transactions in both the CDB and PDBs are
either committed or rolled back.
D. The statement results in an error because there are open PDBs.
Answer: B
Explanation
* SHUTDOWN [ABORT | IMMEDIATE | NORMAL | TRANSACTIONAL
[LOCAL]]
Shuts down a currently running Oracle Database instance, optionally closing and
dismounting a database. If the current
database is a pluggable database, only the pluggable database is closed. The
consolidated instance continues to run.
Shutdown commands that wait for current calls to complete or users to disconnect
such as SHUTDOWN NORMAL and
SHUTDOWN TRANSACTIONAL have a time limit that the SHUTDOWN
command will wait. If all events blocking the shutdown have not occurred within the
time limit, the shutdown command cancels with the following message:
ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation
* If logged into a CDB, shutdown closes the CDB instance.
To shutdown a CDB or non CDB, you must be connected to the CDB or non CDB
instance that you want to close, and
then enter
SHUTDOWN
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
Oracle instance shut down.
To shutdown a PDB, you must log into the PDB to issue the SHUTDOWN command.
SHUTDOWN
Pluggable Database closed. Note:
* Prerequisites for PDB Shutdown
When the current container is a pluggable database (PDB), the SHUTDOWN
command can only be used if: The current
user has SYSDBA, SYSOPER, SYSBACKUP, or SYSDG system privilege.
The privilege is either commonly granted or locally granted in the PDB.
The current user exercises the privilege using AS SYSDBA, AS SYSOPER, AS
SYSBACKUP, or AS SYSDG at connect time.
To close a PDB, the PDB must be open.
QUESTION 3
Which two are true concerning a multitenant container database with three pluggable
database? (Choose two.)
A. All administration tasks must be done to a specific pluggable database.
B. The pluggable databases increase patching time.
C. The pluggable databases reduce administration effort.
D. The pluggable databases are patched together.
E. Pluggable databases are only used for database consolidation.
Answer: C D
QUESTION 4
Examine the following command:
CREATE TABLE (prod_id number(4),
Prod_name varchar2 (20),
Category_id number(30),
Quantity_on_hand number (3) INVISIBLE);
Which three statements are true about using an invisible column in the PRODUCTS
table? (Choose three.)
A. The %ROWTYPE attribute declarations in PL/SQL to access a row will not
display the invisible column in the output.
B. The DESCRIBE commands in SQL *Plus will not display the invisible column in
the output.
C. Referential integrity constraint cannot be set on the invisible column.
D. The invisible column cannot be made visible and can only be marked as unused.
E. A primary key constraint can be added on the invisible column.
Answer: A B E
Explanation
AB: You can make individual table columns invisible. Any generic access of a table
does not show the invisible columns
in the table. For example, the following operations do not display invisible columns in
the output: * SELECT * FROM statements in SQL
* DESCRIBE commands in SQL*Plus
* %ROWTYPE attribute declarations in PL/SQL
* Describes in Oracle Call Interface (OCI) Incorrect:
Not D: You can make invisible columns visible.
You can make a column invisible during table creation or when you add a column to a
table, and you can later alter the
table to make the same column visible.

D. 1, 2, 4, 5
Answer: B
Explanation
* Evolving SQL Plan Baselines
* 2. Create the evolve task by using the DBMS_SPM.CREATE_EVOLVE_TASK
function.
This function creates an advisor task to prepare the plan evolution of one or more
plans for a specified SQL statement.
The input parameters can be a SQL handle, plan name or a list of plan names, time
limit, task name, and description.
1. Set the evolve task parameters.
SET_EVOLVE_TASK_PARAMETER
This function updates the value of an evolve task parameter. In this release, the only
valid parameter is TIME_LIMIT.
4. Execute the evolve task by using the DBMS_SPM.EXECUTE_EVOLVE_TASK
function.
This function executes an evolution task. The input parameters can be the task name,
execution name, and execution description. If not specified, the advisor generates the
name, which is returned by the function.
3: IMPLEMENT_EVOLVE_TASK
This function implements all recommendations for an evolve task. Essentially, this
function is equivalent to using
ACCEPT_SQL_PLAN_BASELINE for all recommended plans. Input parameters
include task name, plan name, owner
name, and execution name.
5. Report the task outcome by using the DBMS_SPM_EVOLVE_TASK function.
This function displays the results of an evolve task as a CLOB. Input parameters

A. The checkpoint position is advanced in the checkpoint queue.
B. All buffers for a checkpointed file that were modified before a specific SCN are
written to disk by DBWn and the
SCN is stored in the control file.
C. The Database Writer process (DBWn) writes all dirty buffers in the buffer cache to
data files.
D. The Log Writer process (LGWR) writes all redo entries in the log buffer to online
redo log files.
Answer: B
QUESTION 7
You configure your database Instance to support shared server connections.
Which two memory areas that are part of PGA are stored in SGA instead, for shared
server connection? (Choose two.)
A. User session data
B. Stack space
C. Private SQL area
D. Location of the runtime area for DML and DDL Statements
E. Location of a part of the runtime area for SELECT statements
Answer: A C
Explanation
A: PGA itself is subdivided. The UGA (User Global Area) contains session state
information, including stuff like
package-level variables, cursor state, etc. Note that, with shared server, the UGA is in
the SGA. It has to be, because
shared server means that the session state needs to be accessible to all server
processes, as any one of them could be
assigned a particular session. However, with dedicated server (which likely what
you're using), the UGA is allocated in
the PGA.
C: The Location of a private SQL area depends on the type of connection established
for a session. If a session is connected through a dedicated server, private SQL areas
are located in the server process’ PGA. However, if a session is
connected through a shared server, part of the private SQL area is kept in the SGA.
Note:
* System global area (SGA)
The SGA is a group of shared memory structures, known as SGA components, that
contain data and control information
for one Oracle Database instance. The SGA is shared by all server and background
processes. Examples of data stored in
the SGA include cached data blocks and shared SQL areas.
* Program global area (PGA)
A PGA is a memory region that contains data and control information for a server
process. It is nonshared memory
created by Oracle Database when a server process is started. Access to the PGA is
exclusive to the server process. There
is one PGA for each server process. Background processes also allocate their own
PGAs. The total memory used by all
individual PGAs is known as the total instance PGA memory, and the collection of
individual PGAs is referred to as the
total instance PGA, or just instance PGA. You use database initialization parameters
to set the size of the instance PGA,
not individual PGAs.

QUESTION 8
Examine this command:
SQL > exec DBMS_STATS.SET_TABLE_PREFS (‘SH’, ‘CUSTOMERS’,
‘PUBLISH’, ‘false’);
Which three statements are true about the effect of this command? (Choose three.)
A. Statistics collection is not done for the CUSTOMERS table when schema stats are
gathered.
B. Statistics collection is not done for the CUSTOMERS table when database stats are
gathered.
C. Any existing statistics for the CUSTOMERS table are still available to the
optimizer at parse time.
D. Statistics gathered on the CUSTOMERS table when schema stats are gathered are
stored as pending statistics.
E. Statistics gathered on the CUSTOMERS table when database stats are gathered are
stored as pending statistics.
Answer: C D E
Explanation
* SET_TABLE_PREFS Procedure
This procedure is used to set the statistics preferences of the specified table in the
specified schema.
* Example:
Using Pending Statistics
Assume many modifications have been made to the employees table since the last
time statistics were gathered. To
ensure that the cost-based optimizer is still picking the best plan, statistics should be
gathered once again; however, the
user is concerned that new statistics will cause the optimizer to choose bad plans
when the current ones are acceptable.
The user can do the following:
EXEC DBMS_STATS.SET_TABLE_PREFS('hr', 'employees', 'PUBLISH', 'false');
By setting the employees tables publish preference to FALSE, any statistics gather
from now on will not be
automatically published. The newly gathered statistics will be marked as pending.
QUESTION 9
What happens if a maintenance window closes before a job that collects optimizer
statistics completes?
A. The job is terminated and the gathered statistics are not saved.
B. The job is terminated but the gathered statistics are not published.
C. The job continues to run until all statistics are gathered.
D. The job is terminated and statistics for the remaining objects are collected the next
time the maintenance window
opens. Answer: D
Explanation
The stop_on_window_close attribute controls whether the GATHER_STATS_JOB
continues when the
maintenance window closes. The default setting for the stop_on_window_close
attribute is TRUE, causing Scheduler to
terminate GATHER_STATS_JOB when the maintenance window closes. The
remaining objects are then processed in
the next maintenance window.

QUESTION 11
You execute the following PL/SQL:
Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)
A. Fine-Grained Auditing (FGA) is enabled for the PRICE column in the
PRODUCTS table for SELECT statements
only when a row with PRICE > 10000 is accessed.
B. FGA is enabled for the PRODUCTS.PRICE column and an audit record is written
whenever a row with PRICE >
10000 is accessed.
C. FGA is enabled for all DML operations by JIM on the PRODUCTS.PRICE
column.
D. FGA is enabled for the PRICE column of the PRODUCTS table and the SQL
statements is captured in the FGA audit
trial. Answer: A B
Explanation
DBMS_FGA.add_policy
* The DBMS_FGA package provides fine-grained security functions.
* ADD_POLICY Procedure
This procedure creates an audit policy using the supplied predicate as the audit
condition.
Incorrect:
Not C: object_schema
The schema of the object to be audited. (If NULL, the current log-on user schema is
assumed.)
QUESTION 12
Your database is open and the LISTENER listener running. You stopped the wrong
listener LISTENER by issuing the
following command:
1snrctl > STOP
What happens to the sessions that are presently connected to the database Instance?
A. They are able to perform only queries.
B. They are not affected and continue to function normally.
C. They are terminated and the active transactions are rolled back.
D. They are not allowed to perform any operations until the listener LISTENER is
started.
Answer: B
Explanation
The listener is used when the connection is established. The immediate impact of
stopping the listener will be that no
new session can be established from a remote host. Existing sessions are not
compromised.
QUESTION 13
What are two benefits of installing Grid Infrastructure software for a stand-alone
server before installing and creating an
Oracle database?
A. Effectively implements role separation
B. Enables you to take advantage of Oracle Managed Files.
C. Automatically registers the database with Oracle Restart.
D. Helps you to easily upgrade the database from a prior release.
E. Enables the Installation of Grid Infrastructure files on block or raw devices.
Answer: A C
Explanation
C: To use Oracle ASM or Oracle Restart, you must first install Oracle Grid
Infrastructure
for a standalone server before you install and create the database. Otherwise, you
must
manually register the database with Oracle Restart.
Desupport of Block and Raw Devices
With the release of Oracle Database 11g release 2 (11.2) and Oracle RAC 11g release
2 (11.2), using Database
Configuration Assistant or the installer to store Oracle Clusterware or Oracle
Database files directly on block or raw
devices is not supported.
If you intend to upgrade an existing Oracle RAC database, or an Oracle RAC
database with Oracle ASM instances, then you can use an existing raw or block
device partition, and perform a rolling upgrade of your existing installation.
Performing a new installation using block or raw devices is not allowed.

QUESTION 14
Examine the contents of SQL loader control file:
Which three statements are true regarding the SQL* Loader operation performed
using the control file? (Choose three.)
A. An EMP table is created if a table does not exist. Otherwise, if the EMP table is
appended with the loaded data.
B. The SQL* Loader data file myfile1.dat has the column names for the EMP table.
C. The SQL* Loader operation fails because no record terminators are specified.
D. Field names should be the first line in the both the SQL* Loader data files.
E. The SQL* Loader operation assumes that the file must be a stream record format
file with the normal carriage return
string as the record terminator.
Answer: A B E
Explanation
A: The APPEND keyword tells SQL*Loader to preserve any preexisting data in the
table. Other options allow you to
delete preexisting data, or to fail with an error if the table is not empty to begin with.
B (not D):
Note:
* SQL*Loader-00210: first data file is empty, cannot process the FIELD NAMES
record
Cause: The data file listed in the next message was empty. Therefore, the FIELD
NAMES FIRST FILE directive could
not be processed.
Action: Check the listed data file and fix it. Then retry the operation
E:
* A comma-separated values (CSV) (also sometimes called character-separated
values, because the separator character
does not have to be a comma) file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain-text
form. Plain text means that the file is a sequence of characters, with no data that has to
be interpreted instead, as binary numbers. A CSV file consists of any
number of records, separated by line breaks of some kind; each record consists of
fields, separated by some other
character or string, most commonly a literal comma or tab. Usually, all records have
an identical sequence of fields.
* Fields with embedded commas must be quoted.
Example:
1997,Ford,E350,"Super, luxurious truck"
Note:
* SQL*Loader is a bulk loader utility used for moving data from external files into
the Oracle database.
QUESTION 15
You plan to migrate your database from a File system to Automata Storage
Management (ASM) on same platform.
Which two methods or commands would you use to accomplish this task? (Choose
two.)
A. RMAN CONVERT command
B. Data Pump Export and import
C. Conventional Export and Import
D. The BACKUP AS COPY DATABASE . . . command of RMAN
E. DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER with transportable tablespace
Answer: A D
Explanation
A:
1. Get the list of all datafiles.
Note: RMAN Backup of ASM Storage
There is often a need to move the files from the file system to the ASM storage and
vice versa. This may come in handy
when one of the file systems is corrupted by some means and then the file may need
to be moved to the other file system.
D: Migrating a Database into ASM
* To take advantage of Automatic Storage Management with an existing database you
must migrate that database into
ASM. This migration is performed using Recovery Manager (RMAN) even if you are
not using RMAN for your primary backup and recovery strategy.
* Example:
Back up your database files as copies to the ASM disk group.
BACKUP AS COPY INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE
FORMAT '+DISK' TAG 'ORA_ASM_MIGRATION';

QUESTION 16
In your multitenant container database (CDB) containing pluggable database (PDBs),
the HR user executes the following
commands to create and grant privileges on a procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_test_v (v_emp_id NUMBER,
v_ename VARCHAR2, v_SALARY
NUMBER, v_dept_id NUMBER)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO hr.test VALUES (V_emp_id, V_ename, V_salary, V_dept_id);
END;
/
GRANT EXECUTE ON CREATE_TEST TO john, jim, smith, king;
How can you prevent users having the EXECUTE privilege on the CREATE_TEST
procedure from inserting values into tables on which they do not have any privileges?
A. Create the CREATE_TEST procedure with definer’s rights.
B. Grant the EXECUTE privilege to users with GRANT OPTION on the
CREATE_TEST procedure.
C. Create the CREATE_TEST procedure with invoker’s rights.
D. Create the CREATE_TEST procedure as part of a package and grant users the
EXECUTE privilege the package.
Answer: C
Explanation
If a program unit does not need to be executed with the escalated privileges of the
definer, you should specify that the
program unit executes with the privileges of the caller, also known as the invoker.
Invoker's rights can mitigate the risk
of SQL injection.
Incorrect:
Not A: By default, stored procedures and SQL methods execute with the privileges of
their owner, not their current user.
Such definer-rights subprograms are bound to the schema in which they reside.
not B: Using the GRANT option, a user can grant an Object privilege to another user
or to PUBLIC.
QUESTION 17

logical database structures? (Choose
two.)
A. A segment cannot span data files.
B. A data file can belong to only one tablespace.
C. An extent cannot span data files.
D. The size of an Oracle data block in a data file should be the same as the size of an
OS block.
Answer: B C
Explanation
A single extent can never span data files.

QUESTION 19
Examine the parameter for your database instance:
You generated the execution plan for the following query in the plan table and noticed
that the nested loop join was done.
After actual execution of the query, you notice that the hash join was done in the
execution plan:
Identify the reason why the optimizer chose different execution plans.
A. The optimizer used a dynamic plan for the query.
B. The optimizer chose different plans because automatic dynamic sampling was
enabled.
C. The optimizer used re-optimization cardinality feedback for the query.
D. The optimizer chose different plan because extended statistics were created for the
columns used.
Answer: A
QUESTION 20
Examine the current value for the following parameters in your database instance:
SGA_MAX_SIZE = 1024M
SGA_TARGET = 700M DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE = 124M LOG_BUFFER = 200M
You issue the following command to increase the value of DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET
DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE=140M;
Which statement is true?
A. It fails because the DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE parameter cannot be changed
dynamically.
B. It succeeds only if memory is available from the autotuned components if SGA.
C. It fails because an increase in DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE cannot be accommodated
within SGA_TARGET.
D. It fails because an increase in DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE cannot be accommodated
within SGA_MAX_SIZE.
Answer: D
Explanation * The SGA_TARGET parameter can be dynamically increased up to the
value specified for the SGA_MAX_SIZE
parameter, and it can also be reduced.
* Example:
For example, suppose you have an environment with the following configuration:
SGA_MAX_SIZE = 1024M
SGA_TARGET = 512M
DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE = 128M
In this example, the value of SGA_TARGET can be resized up to 1024M and can also
be reduced until one or more of
the automatically sized components reaches its minimum size. The exact value
depends on environmental factors such as
the number of CPUs on the system. However, the value of DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE
remains fixed at all times at 128M
* DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE Size of cache for 8K buffers
* For example, consider this configuration: SGA_TARGET = 512M
DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE = 128M
In this example, increasing DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE by 16 M to 144M means that the
16M is taken away from the
automatically sized components. Likewise, reducing DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE by 16M
to 112M means that the 16M is given to the automatically sized components.

QUESTION 26
After implementing full Oracle Data Redaction, you change the default value for the
NUMBER data type as follows:
After changing the value, you notice that FULL redaction continues to redact numeric
data with zero. What must you do
to activate the new default value for numeric full redaction?
A. Re-enable redaction policies that use FULL data redaction.
B. Re-create redaction policies that use FULL data redaction.
C. Re-connect the sessions that access objects with redaction policies defined on
them.
D. Flush the shared pool.
E. Restart the database instance.
Answer: E
Explanation
About Altering the Default Full Data Redaction Value
You can alter the default displayed values for full Data Redaction polices. By default,
0 is the redacted value when
Oracle Database performs full redaction (DBMS_REDACT.FULL) on a column of
the NUMBER data type. If you want
to change it to another value (for example, 7), then you can run the
DBMS_REDACT.UPDATE_FULL_REDACTION_VALUES procedure to modify
this value. The modification applies
to all of the Data Redaction policies in the current database instance. After you
modify a value, you must restart the
database for it to take effect.
Note:
* The DBMS_REDACT package provides an interface to Oracle Data Redaction,
which enables you to mask (redact)
data that is returned from queries issued by low-privileged users or an application.
* UPDATE_FULL_REDACTION_VALUES Procedure
This procedure modifies the default displayed values for a Data Redaction policy for
full redaction.
* After you create the Data Redaction policy, it is automatically enabled and ready to
redact data.
* Oracle Data Redaction enables you to mask (redact) data that is returned from
queries issued by
low-privileged users or applications. You can redact column data by using one of the
following methods:
/ Full redaction.
/ Partial redaction.
/ Regular expressions.
/ Random redaction.
/ No redaction. References:
QUESTION 27
Which two statements are true concerning the Resource Manager plans for individual
pluggable databases (PDB plans)
in a multitenant container database (CDB)? (Choose two.)
A. If no PDB plan is enabled for a pluggable database, then all sessions for that PDB
are treated to an equal
degree of the resource share of that PDB.
B. In a PDB plan, subplans may be used with up to eight consumer groups.
C. If a PDB plan is enabled for a pluggable database, then resources are allocated to
consumer groups across all PDBs in
the CDB.
D. If no PDB plan is enabled for a pluggable database, then the PDB share in the
CDB plan is dynamically calculated.
E. If a PDB plan is enabled for a pluggable database, then resources are allocated to
consumer groups based on the
shares provided to the PDB in the CDB plan and the shares provided to the consumer
groups in the PDB plan.
Answer: A E
Explanation
A: Setting a PDB resource plan is optional. If not specified, all sessions within the
PDB are treated equally.
*
In a non-CDB database, workloads within a database are managed with resource
plans.
In a PDB, workloads are also managed with resource plans, also called PDB resource
plans. The functionality is similar
except for the following differences:
/ Non-CDB Database Multi-level resource plans Up to 32 consumer groups Subplans
/ PDB Database
Single-level resource plans only
Up to 8 consumer groups
(not B) No subplans
QUESTION 28
Which two statements are true about the RMAN validate database command?
(Choose two.) A. It checks the database
for intrablock corruptions.
B. It can detect corrupt pfiles.
C. It can detect corrupt spfiles.
D. It checks the database for interblock corruptions.
E. It can detect corrupt block change tracking files.
Answer: A C
Explanation
Block corruptions can be divided Into Interblock corruption and intrablock corruption.
In intrablock corruption. th«
corruption occurs within the block itself and can be either physical or logical
corruption. In interblock corruption, the
corruption occurs between blocks and can only be logical corruption.
(key word) * The VALIDATE command checks for intrablock corruptions only. Only
DBVERIFY and the ANALYZE
statement detect Interblock corruption.
VALIDATE Command Output ••> List of Control File and SPFILE.
File TYPE >»» SPFILE or Control File.
Status >»» OK if no corruption, or FAILED If block corruption is found.
Blocks Failing »»» The number of blocks that fail the corruption check. These
blocks are newly corrupt.
Blocks Examined »»» Total number of blocks in the file.

QUESTION 30
You are administering a database and you receive a requirement to apply the
following restrictions:
1. A connection must be terminated after four unsuccessful login attempts by user.
2. A user should not be able to create more than four simultaneous sessions.
3. User session must be terminated after 15 minutes of inactivity.
4. Users must be prompted to change their passwords every 15 days. How would you
accomplish these requirements?
A. by granting a secure application role to the users
B. by creating and assigning a profile to the users and setting the
REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT parameter to FALSE
C. By creating and assigning a profile to the users and setting the
SEC_MAX_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS parameter
to 4
D. By Implementing Fine-Grained Auditing (FGA) and setting the
REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORD_FILE parameter to
NONE.
E. By implementing the database resource Manager plan and setting the
SEC_MAX_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS
parameters to 4.
Answer: A Explanation
You can design your applications to automatically grant a role to the user who is
trying to log in, provided the user meets
criteria that you specify. To do so, you create a secure application role, which is a role
that is associated with a PL/SQL
procedure (or PL/SQL package that contains multiple procedures). The procedure
validates the user: if the user fails the validation, then the user cannot log in. If the
user passes the validation, then the procedure grants the user a role so that he or she
can use the application. The user has this role only as long as he or she is logged in to
the application. When the user logs out, the role is revoked.
Incorrect:
Not B: REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT specifies whether remote clients will be
authenticated with the value of the
OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX parameter.
Not C, not E: SEC_MAX_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS specifies the number of
authentication attempts that can be
made by a client on a connection to the server process. After the specified number of
failure attempts, the connection will
be automatically dropped by the server process.
Not D: REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE specifies whether Oracle checks for a
password file.
Values:
shared
One or more databases can use the password file. The password file can contain SYS
as well as non-SYS users.
exclusive
The password file can be used by only one database. The password file can contain
SYS as well as non-SYS users.
none
Oracle ignores any password file. Therefore, privileged users must be authenticated
by the operating system.
Note:
The REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT parameter is deprecated. It is retained for backward
compatibility only.
QUESTION 31
Examine the resources consumed by a database instance whose current Resource
Manager plan is displayed.
Which two statements are true? (Choose two.) A. An attempt to start a new session by
a user belonging to DSS_QUERIES fails with an error.
B. An attempt to start a new session by a user belonging to OTHER_GROUPS fails
with an error.
C. The CPU_WAIT_TIME column indicates the total time that sessions in the
consumer group waited for the CPU due
to resource management.
D. The CPU_WAIT_TIME column indicates the total time that sessions in the
consumer group waited for the CPU due
to I/O waits and latch or enqueue contention.
E. A user belonging to the DSS__QUERIES resource consumer group can create a
new session but the session will be
queued.

QUESTION 33
You administer an online transaction processing (OLTP) system whose database is
stored in Automatic Storage
Management (ASM) and whose disk group use normal redundancy.
One of the ASM disks goes offline, and is then dropped because it was not brought
online before DISK_REPAIR_TIME
elapsed.
When the disk is replaced and added back to the disk group, the ensuing rebalance
operation is too slow.
Which two recommendations should you make to speed up the rebalance operation if
this type of failure happens again?
(Choose two.)
A. Increase the value of the ASM_POWER_LIMIT parameter.
B. Set the DISK_REPAIR_TIME disk attribute to a lower value.
C. Specify the statement that adds the disk back to the disk group.
D. Increase the number of ASMB processes.
E. Increase the number of DBWR_IO_SLAVES in the ASM instance.
Answer: A D
Explanation
A: ASM_POWER_LIMIT specifies the maximum power on an Automatic Storage
Management instance for disk
rebalancing. The higher the limit, the faster rebalancing will complete. Lower values
will take longer, but consume fewer
processing and I/O resources.
D:
* Normally a separate process is fired up to do that rebalance. This will take a certain
amount of time. If you want it to happen faster, fire up more processes. You tell ASM
it can add more processes by increasing the rebalance power.
* ASMB
ASM Background Process
Communicates with the ASM instance, managing storage and providing statistics
Incorrect:
Not B: A higher, not a lower, value of DISK_REPAIR_TIME would be helpful here.
Not E: If you implement database writer I/O slaves by setting the
DBWR_IO_SLAVES parameter, you configure a
single (master) DBWR process that has slave processes that are subservient to it. In
addition, I/O slaves can be used to
"simulate" asynchronous I/O on platforms that do not support asynchronous I/O or
implement it inefficiently. Database
I/O slaves provide non-blocking, asynchronous requests to simulate asynchronous
I/O.
QUESTION 34
A senior DBA asked you to execute the following command to improve performance:
SQL> ALTER TABLE subscribe log STORAGE (BUFFER_POOL recycle);
You checked the data in the SUBSCRIBE_LOG table and found that it is a large table
containing one million rows.
What could be a reason for this recommendation?
A. The keep pool is not configured.
B. Automatic Workarea Management is not configured.
C. Automatic Shared Memory Management is not enabled.
D. The data blocks in the SUBSCRIBE_LOG table are rarely accessed.
E. All the queries on the SUBSCRIBE_LOG table are rewritten to a materialized
view.
Answer: D
Explanation
The most of the rows in SUBSCRIBE_LOG table are accessed once a week.
QUESTION 35

QUESTION 36
An application accesses a small lookup table frequently. You notice that the required
data blocks are getting aged out of
the default buffer cache.
How would you guarantee that the blocks for the table never age out?
A. Configure the KEEP buffer pool and alter the table with the corresponding storage
clause.
B. Increase the database buffer cache size.
C. Configure the RECYCLE buffer pool and alter the table with the corresponding
storage clause. D. Configure Automata Shared Memory Management.
E. Configure Automatic Memory Management.
Answer: A
Explanation
Schema objects are referenced with varying usage patterns; therefore, their cache
behavior may be quite different.
Multiple buffer pools enable you to address these differences. You can use a KEEP
buffer pool to maintain objects in the
buffer cache and a RECYCLE buffer pool to prevent objects from consuming
unnecessary space in the cache. When an
object is allocated to a cache, all blocks from that object are placed in that cache.
Oracle maintains a DEFAULT buffer
pool for objects that have not been assigned to one of the buffer pools.

You notice a performance change in your production Oracle database and you want to
know which change has made this
performance difference.
You generate the Compare Period Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM)
report to further investigation.
Which three findings would you get from the report? (Choose three.)
A. It detects any configuration change that caused a performance difference in both
time periods.
B. It identifies any workload change that caused a performance difference in both
time periods.
C. It detects the top wait events causing performance degradation.
D. It shows the resource usage for CPU, memory, and I/O in both time periods.
E. It shows the difference in the size of memory pools in both time periods.
F. It gives information about statistics collection in both time periods.
Answer: A B D
Explanation
Keyword: shows the difference.
* Full ADDM analysis across two AWR snapshot periods Detects causes, measure
effects, then correlates them Causes:
workload changes, configuration changes
Effects: regressed SQL, reach resource limits (CPU, I/O, memory, interconnect)
Makes actionable recommendations
along with quantified impact
* Identify what changed
/ Configuration changes, workload changes
* Performance degradation of the database occurs when your database was
performing optimally in the past, such as 6
months ago, but has gradually degraded to a point where it becomes noticeable to the
users. The Automatic Workload
Repository (AWR) Compare Periods report enables you to compare database
performance between two periods of time.
While an AWR report shows AWR data between two snapshots (or two points in
time), the AWR Compare Periods
report shows the difference (ABE) between two periods (or two AWR reports with a
total of four snapshots). Using the
AWR Compare Periods report helps you to identify detailed performance attributes
and configuration settings that differ between two time periods.

You have installed two 64G flash devices to support the Database Smart Flash Cache
feature on your database server
that is running on Oracle Linux.
You have set the DB_SMART_FLASH_FILE parameter:
DB_FLASH_CACHE_FILE= ‘/dev/flash_device_1 ‘,’ /dev/flash_device_2’
How should the DB_FLASH_CACHE_SIZE be configured to use both devices?
A. Set DB_FLASH_CACHE_ZISE = 64G.
B. Set DB_FLASH_CACHE_ZISE = 64G, 64G
C. Set DB_FLASH_CACHE_ZISE = 128G.
D. DB_FLASH_CACHE_SIZE is automatically configured by the instance at startup.
Answer: B
Explanation
* Smart Flash Cache concept is not new in Oracle 12C - DB Smart Flash Cache in
Oracle 11g.
In this release Oracle has made changes related to both initialization parameters used
by DB Smart Flash cache. Now
you can define many files|devices and its sizes for “Database Smart Flash Cache” area.
In previous releases only one
file|device could be defined.
DB_FLASH_CACHE_FILE = /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc
DB_FLASH_CACHE_SIZE = 32G, 32G, 64G
So above settings defines 3 devices which will be in use by “DB Smart Flash Cache”
/dev/sda – size 32G
/dev/sdb – size 32G
/dev/sdc – size 64G
New view V$FLASHFILESTAT – it’s used to determine the cumulative latency and
read counts of each file|device and
compute the average latency
QUESTION 55
Which three statements are true about adaptive SQL plan management? (Choose
three.)
A. It automatically performs verification or evolves non-accepted plans, in
COMPREHENSIVE mode when they
perform better than existing accepted plans.
B. The optimizer always uses the fixed plan, if the fixed plan exists in the plan
baseline.
C. It adds new, bettor plans automatically as fixed plans to the baseline.
D. The non-accepted plans are automatically accepted and become usable by the
optimizer if they perform better than the
existing accepted plans.
E. The non-accepted plans in a SQL plan baseline are automatically evolved, in
COMPREHENSIVE mode, during the
nightly maintenance window and a persistent verification report is generated.
Answer: A D E
Explanation
With adaptive SQL plan management, DBAs no longer have to manually run the
verification or evolve process for non
accepted plans. When automatic SQL tuning is in COMPREHENSIVE mode, it runs
a verification or evolve process for
all SQL statements that have non-accepted plans during the nightly maintenance
window. If the non-accepted plan
performs better than the existing accepted plan (or plans) in the SQL plan baseline,
then the plan is automatically
accepted and becomes usable by the optimizer. After the verification is complete, a
persistent report is generated detailing how the non-accepted plan performs compared
to the accepted plan performance.
Because the evolve process is now an AUTOTASK, DBAs can also schedule their
own evolve job at end time.
Note:
* The optimizer is able to adapt plans on the fly by predetermining multiple subplans
for portions of the plan.
* Adaptive plans, introduced in Oracle Database 12c, enable the optimizer to defer the
final plan decision for a statement
until execution time. The optimizer instruments its chosen plan (the default plan) with
statistics collectors so that it can
detect at runtime, if its cardinality estimates differ greatly from the actual number of
rows seen by the operations in the
plan. If there is a significant difference, then the plan or a portion of it will be
automatically adapted to avoid suboptimal
performance on the first execution of a SQL statement.

QUESTION 57
Which three statements are true concerning the multitenant architecture? (Choose
three.)
A. Each pluggable database (PDB) has its own set of background processes.
B. A PDB can have a private temp tablespace.
C. PDBs can share the sysaux tablespace.
D. Log switches occur only at the multitenant container database (CDB) level.
E. Different PDBs can have different default block sizes.
F. PDBs share a common system tablespace.
G. Instance recovery is always performed at the CDB level.
Answer: B D G
Explanation
B:
* A PDB would have its SYSTEM, SYSAUX, TEMP tablespaces. It can also
contains other user created tablespaces in
it.
* There is one default temporary tablespace for the entire CDB. However, you can
create additional temporary
tablespaces in individual PDBs. D:
* There is a single redo log and a single control file for an entire CDB
* A log switch is the point at which the database stops writing to one redo log file and
begins writing to another.
Normally, a log switch occurs when the current redo log file is completely filled and
writing must continue to the next
redo log file.
G: instance recovery
The automatic application of redo log records to uncommitted data blocks when an
database instance is restarted after a
failure.

* There is one set of background processes shared by the root and all PDBs.
* High consolidation density. The many pluggable databases in a single container
database share its memory and
background processes, letting you operate many more pluggable databases on a
particular platform than you can single
databases that use the old architecture.
Not C: There is a separate SYSAUX tablespace for the root and for each PDB.
Not F: There is a separate SYSTEM tablespace for the root and for each PDB.
QUESTION 58
Your database is open and the listener LISTENER is up. You issue the command:
LSNRCTL> RELOAD
What is the effect of RELOAD on sessions that were originally established by
LISTENER?
A. Only sessions based on static listener registrations are disconnected.
B. Existing connections are not disconnected; however, they cannot perform any
operations until the listener completes
the re-registration of the database instance and service handlers.
C. The sessions are not affected and continue to function normally.
D. All the sessions are terminated and active transactions are rolled back.
Answer: C

Examine the structure of the SALES table, which is stored in a locally managed
tablespace with Automatic Segment
Space Management (ASSM) enabled.
You want to perform online segment shrink to reclaim fragmented free space below
the high water mark.
What should you ensure before the start of the operation?
A. Row movement is enabled. B. Referential integrity constraints for the table are
disabled.
C. No queries are running on this table.
D. Extra disk space equivalent to the size of the segment is available in the tablespace.
E. No pending transaction exists on the table.
Answer: A
QUESTION 60
In your multitenant container database (CDB) with two pluggable database (PDBs).
You want to create a new PDB by
using SQL Developer.
Which statement is true?
A. The CDB must be open.
B. The CDB must be in the mount stage.
C. The CDB must be in the nomount stage.
D. Alt existing PDBs must be closed.
Answer: A
Explanation
* Creating a PDB
Rather than constructing the data dictionary tables that define an empty PDB from
scratch, and then populating its Obj$
and Dependency$ tables, the empty PDB is created when the CDB is created. (Here,
we use empty to mean containing
no customer-created artifacts.) It is referred to as the seed PDB and has the name
PDB$Seed. Every CDB non-negotiably
contains a seed PDB; it is non-negotiably always open in read-only mode. This has no
conceptual significance; rather, it
is just an optimization device. The create PDB operation is implemented as a special
case of the clone PDB operation.
The size of the seed PDB is only about 1 gigabyte and it takes only a few seconds on
a typical machine to copy it.
QUESTION 61
Examine the memory-related parameters set in the SPFILE of an Oracle database:
Which statement is true?
A. Only SGA components are sized automatically.
B. Memory is dynamically re-allocated between the SGA and PGA as needed.
C. The size of the PGA cannot grow automatically beyond 500 MB.
D. The value of the MEMORY_TARGET parameter cannot be changed dynamically.
Answer: B
QUESTION 62
The ORCL database is configured to support shared server mode. You want to ensure
that a user connecting remotely to
the database instance has a one-to-one ratio between client and server processes.
Which connection method guarantees that this requirement is met?
A. connecting by using an external naming method
B. connecting by using the easy connect method
C. creating a service in the database by using the
DBMS_SERVICE.CREATE_SERVICE procedure and using this
service for creating a local naming service
D. connecting by using the local naming method with the SERVER = DEDICATED
parameter set in the tnsnames.ora
file for the net service
E. connecting by using a directory naming method
Answer: D
QUESTION 63
You support Oracle Database 12c Oracle Database 11g, and Oracle Database log on
the same server. All databases of all
versions use Automatic Storage Management (ASM).
Which three statements are true about the ASM disk group compatibility attributes
that are set for a disk group? (Choose
three.)
A. The ASM compatibility attribute controls the format of the disk group metadata.
B. RDBMS compatibility together with the database version determines whether a
database Instance can mount the ASM
disk group.
C. The RDBMS compatibility setting allows only databases set to the same version as
the compatibility value, to mount
the ASM disk group.
D. The ASM compatibility attribute determines some of the ASM features that may
be used by the Oracle disk group.
E. The ADVM compatibility attribute determines the ACFS features that may be used
by the Oracle 10 g database.
Answer: A B D
Explanation
AD: The value for the disk group COMPATIBLE.ASM attribute determines the
minimum software version for an
Oracle ASM instance that can use the disk group. This setting also affects the format
of the data structures for the Oracle
ASM metadata on the disk.
B: The value for the disk group COMPATIBLE.RDBMS attribute determines the
minimum COMPATIBLE database
initialization parameter setting for any database instance that is allowed to use the
disk group. Before advancing the
COMPATIBLE.RDBMS attribute, ensure that the values for the COMPATIBLE
initialization parameter for all of the
databases that access the disk group are set to at least the value of the new setting for
COMPATIBLE.RDBMS.
For example, if the COMPATIBLE initialization parameters of the databases are set
to either 11.1 or 11.2, then
COMPATIBLE.RDBMS can be set to any value between 10.1 and 11.1 inclusively.
Not E:
/The value for the disk group COMPATIBLE.ADVM attribute determines whether
the disk group can contain Oracle
ASM volumes. The value must be set to 11.2 or higher. Before setting this attribute,
the COMPATIBLE.ASM value
must be 11.2 or higher. Also, the Oracle ADVM volume drivers must be loaded in the
supported environment.
/ You can create an Oracle ASM Dynamic Volume Manager (Oracle ADVM) volume
in a disk group. The volume
device associated with the dynamic volume can then be used to host an Oracle ACFS
file system.
The compatibility parameters COMPATIBLE.ASM and COMPATIBLE.ADVM
must be set to 11.2 or higher for the
disk group. Note:
* The disk group attributes that determine compatibility are COMPATIBLE.ASM,
COMPATIBLE.RDBMS. and
COMPATIBLE.ADVM. The COMPATIBLE.ASM and COMPATIBLE.RDBMS
attribute settings determine the
minimum Oracle Database software version numbers that a system can use for Oracle
ASM and the database instance
types respectively. For example, if the Oracle ASM compatibility setting is 11.2, and
RDBMS compatibility is set to
11.1, then the Oracle ASM software version must be at least 11.2, and the Oracle
Database client software version must
be at least 11.1. The COMPATIBLE.ADVM attribute determines whether the Oracle
ASM Dynamic Volume Manager
feature can create an volume in a disk group.
QUESTION 64
To enable the Database Smart Flash Cache, you configure the following parameters:
DB_FLASH_CACHE_FILE = ‘/dev/flash_device_1’ , ‘/dev/flash_device_2’
DB_FLASH_CACHE_SIZE=64G
What is the result when you start up the database instance?
A. It results in an error because these parameter settings are invalid.
B. One 64G flash cache file will be used.
C. Two 64G flash cache files will be used.
D. Two 32G flash cache files will be used.
Answer: A
QUESTION 65
You upgrade your Oracle database in a multiprocessor environment. As a
recommended you execute the following script:
SQL > @utlrp.sql
Which two actions does the script perform? (Choose two.)
A. Parallel compilation of only the stored PL/SQL code
B. Sequential recompilation of only the stored PL/SQL code
C. Parallel recompilation of any stored PL/SQL code
D. Sequential recompilation of any stored PL/SQL code
E. Parallel recompilation of Java code
F. Sequential recompilation of Java code
Answer: C E
Explanation
utlrp.sql and utlprp.sql
The utlrp.sql and utlprp.sql scripts are provided by Oracle to recompile all invalid
objects in the database. They are
typically run after major database changes such as upgrades or patches. They are
located in the
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory and provide a wrapper on the
UTL_RECOMP package. The utlrp.sql script
simply calls the utlprp.sql script with a command line parameter of "0". The utlprp.sql
accepts a single integer parameter
that indicates the level of parallelism as follows.
0 - The level of parallelism is derived based on the CPU_COUNT parameter.
1 - The recompilation is run serially, one object at a time.
N - The recompilation is run in parallel with "N" number of threads.
Both scripts must be run as the SYS user, or another user with SYSDBA, to work
correctly.

QUESTION 66
You executed this command to create a password file: $ orapwd file = orapworcl
entries = 10 ignorecase = N
Which two statements are true about the password file? (Choose two.)
A. It will permit the use of uppercase passwords for database users who have been
granted the SYSOPER role.
B. It contains username and passwords of database users who are members of the
OSOPER operating system group.
C. It contains usernames and passwords of database users who are members of the
OSDBA operating system group.
D. It will permit the use of lowercase passwords for database users who have granted
the SYSDBA role.
E. It will not permit the use of mixed case passwords for the database users who have
been granted the SYSDBA role.
Answer: A D
Explanation
* You can create a password file using the password file creation utility, ORAPWD.
* Adding Users to a Password File
When you grant SYSDBA or SYSOPER privileges to a user, that user's name and
privilege information are added to the
password file. If the server does not have an EXCLUSIVE password file (that is, if
the initialization parameter
REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is NONE or SHARED, or the password file is
missing), Oracle Database issues
an error if you attempt to grant these privileges.
A user's name remains in the password file only as long as that user has at least one of
these two privileges. If you revoke
both of these privileges, Oracle Database removes the user from the password file.
* The syntax of the ORAPWD command is as follows: ORAPWD FILE=filename
[ENTRIES=numusers]
[FORCE={Y|N}] [IGNORECASE={Y|N}] [NOSYSDBA={Y|N}]
* IGNORECASE
If this argument is set to y, passwords are case-insensitive. That is, case is ignored
when comparing the password that the
user supplies during login with the password in the password file.
QUESTION 67
You notice that the elapsed time for an important database scheduler Job is
unacceptably long. The job belongs to a
scheduler job class and window.
Which two actions would reduce the job's elapsed time? (Choose two.)
A. Increasing the priority of the job class to which the job belongs
B. Increasing the job's relative priority within the Job class to which it belongs
C. Increasing the resource allocation for the consumer group mapped to the scheduler
job's job class within the plan
mapped to the scheduler window
D. Moving the job to an existing higher priority scheduler window with the same
schedule and duration
E. Increasing the value of the JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES parameter
F. Increasing the priority of the scheduler window to which the job belongs
Answer: B C
Explanation
B: Job priorities are used only to prioritize among jobs in the same class.
Note: Group jobs for prioritization
Within the same job class, you can assign priority values of 1-5 to individual jobs so
that if two jobs in the class are
scheduled to start at the same time, the one with the higher priority takes precedence.
This ensures that you do not have a
less important job preventing the timely completion of a more important one.
C: Set resource allocation for member jobs
Job classes provide the link between the Database Resource Manager and the
Scheduler, because each job class can specify a resource consumer group as an
attribute. Member jobs then belong to the specified consumer group and are
assigned resources according to settings in the current resource plan.
QUESTION 68
Which two partitioned table maintenance operations support asynchronous Global
Index Maintenance in Oracle database
12c? (Choose two.)
A. ALTER TABLE SPLIT PARTITION
B. ALTER TABLE MERGE PARTITION
C. ALTER TABLE TRUNCATE PARTITION
D. ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION
E. ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION
F. ALTER TABLE MOVE PARTITION
Answer: C E
Explanation
Asynchronous Global Index Maintenance for DROP and TRUNCATE PARTITION
This feature enables global index maintenance to be delayed and decoupled from a
DROP and TRUNCATE partition
without making a global index unusable. Enhancements include faster DROP and
TRUNCATE partition operations and
the ability to delay index maintenance to off-peak time.

You wish to enable an audit policy for all database users, except SYS, SYSTEM, and
SCOTT.
You issue the following statements:
SQL> AUDIT POLICY ORA_DATABASE_PARAMETER EXCEPT SYS;
SQL> AUDIT POLICY ORA_DATABASE_PARAMETER EXCEPT SYSTEM;
SQL> AUDIT POLICY ORA_DATABASE_PARAMETER EXCEPT SCOTT;
For which database users is the audit policy now active?
A. All users except SYS
B. All users except SCOTT
C. All users except sys and SCOTT
D. All users except sys, system, and SCOTT
Answer: B
Explanation
If you run multiple AUDIT statements on the same unified audit policy but specify
different EXCEPT users, then Oracle
Database uses the last exception user list, not any of the users from the preceding lists.
This means the effect of the
earlier AUDIT POLICY ... EXCEPT statements are overridden by the latest AUDIT
POLICY
... EXCEPT statement.
Note:
* The ORA_DATABASE_PARAMETER policy audits commonly used Oracle
Database parameter settings. By default,
this policy is not enabled.
* You can use the keyword ALL to audit all actions. The following example shows
how to audit all actions on the
HR.EMPLOYEES table, except actions by user pmulligan.
Example Auditing All Actions on a Table
CREATE AUDIT POLICY all_actions_on_hr_emp_pol ACTIONS ALL ON
HR.EMPLOYEES;
AUDIT POLICY all_actions_on_hr_emp_pol EXCEPT pmulligan;

Your multitenant container database (CDB) contains a pluggable database, HR_PDB.
The default permanent tablespace
in HR_PDB is USERDATA. The container database (CDB) is open and you connect
RMAN.
You want to issue the following RMAN command:
RMAN > BACKUP TABLESPACE hr_pdb:userdata;
Which task should you perform before issuing the command?
A. Place the root container in ARHCHIVELOG mode.
B. Take the user data tablespace offline.
C. Place the root container in the nomount stage.
D. Ensure that HR_PDB is open.

Which two statements are true about the logical storage structure of an Oracle
database? (Choose two.)
A. An extent contains data blocks that are always physically contiguous on disk.
B. An extent can span multiple segments.
C. Each data block always corresponds to one operating system block.
D. It is possible to have tablespaces of different block sizes.
E. A data block is the smallest unit of I/O in data files.
Answer: D E

QUESTION 73
Which two statements are true about variable extent size support for large ASM files?
(Choose two.) A. The metadata used to track extents in SGA is reduced.
B. Rebalance operations are completed faster than with a fixed extent size
C. An ASM Instance automatically allocates an appropriate extent size.
D. Resync operations are completed faster when a disk comes online after being taken
offline.
E. Performance improves in a stretch cluster configuration by reading from a local
copy of an extent.
Answer: A C
Explanation
A: Variable size extents enable support for larger ASM datafiles, reduce SGA
memory requirements for very large
databases (A), and improve performance for file create and open operations.
C: You don't have to worry about the sizes; the ASM instance automatically allocates
the appropriate extent size.
Note:
* The contents of ASM files are stored in a disk group as a set, or collection, of data
extents that are stored on individual
disks within disk groups. Each extent resides on an individual disk. Extents consist of
one or more allocation units (AU).
To accommodate increasingly larger files, ASM uses variable size extents.
* The size of the extent map that defines a file can be smaller by a factor and 64
depending on the file size. The initial
extent size is equal to the allocation unit size and it increases by a factor and 64 at
predefined thresholds. This feature is
automatic for newly created and resized datafiles when the disk group compatibility
attributes are set to Oracle Release
11 or higher.
QUESTION 74
Which two statements are true about Oracle Managed Files (OMF)? (Choose two.)
A. OMF cannot be used in a database that already has data files created with
user-specified directions.
B. The file system directions that are specified by OMF parameters are created
automatically.
C. OMF can be used with ASM disk groups, as well as with raw devices, for better
file management.
D. OMF automatically creates unique file names for table spaces and control files.
E. OMF may affect the location of the redo log files and archived log files.
Answer: D E
Explanation
D: The database internally uses standard file system interfaces to create and delete
files as needed for the following
database structures:
Tablespaces
Redo log files
Control files
Archived logs
Block change tracking files
Flashback logs
RMAN backups
Note:
* Using Oracle-managed files simplifies the administration of an Oracle Database.
Oracle-managed files eliminate the
need for you, the DBA, to directly manage the operating system files that make up an
Oracle Database. With Oracle
managed files, you specify file system directories in which the database automatically
creates, names, and manages files
at the database object level. For example, you need only specify that you want to
create a tablespace; you do not need to
specify the name and path of the tablespace's datafile with the DATAFILE clause.

QUESTION 75
You notice a high number of waits for the db file scattered read and db file sequential
read events in the recent
Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) report. After further investigation,
you find that queries are
performing too many full table scans and indexes are not being used even though the
filter columns are indexed.
Identify three possible reasons for this.
A. Missing or stale histogram statistics
B. Undersized shared pool
C. High clustering factor for the indexes
D. High value for the DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT parameter
E. Oversized buffer cache
Answer: A C D
Explanation
D: DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT is one of the parameters you can use
to minimize I/O during table scans.
It specifies the maximum number of blocks read in one I/O operation during a
sequential scan. The total number of I/Os
needed to perform a full table scan depends on such factors as the size of the table, the
multiblock read count, and
whether parallel execution is being utilized for the operation.

QUESTION 77
In a recent Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) report for your database, you
notice a high number of buffer busy
waits. The database consists of locally managed tablespaces with free list managed
segments.
On further investigation, you find that buffer busy waits is caused by contention on
data blocks. Which option would you
consider first to decrease the wait event immediately?
A. Decreasing PCTUSED
B. Decreasing PCTFREE
C. Increasing the number of DBWN process
D. Using Automatic Segment Space Management (ASSM)
E. Increasing db_buffer_cache based on the V$DB_CACHE_ADVICE
recommendation
Answer: D
Explanation
* Automatic segment space management (ASSM) is a simpler and more efficient way
of managing space within a
segment. It completely eliminates any need to specify and tune the pctused,freelists,
and freelist groups storage
parameters for schema objects created in the tablespace. If any of these attributes are
specified, they are ignored.
* Oracle introduced Automatic Segment Storage Management (ASSM) as a
replacement for traditional freelists
management which used one-way linked-lists to manage free blocks with tables and
indexes. ASSM
is commonly called "bitmap freelists" because that is how Oracle implement the
internal data structures for free block
management.
Note:
* Buffer busy waits are most commonly associated with segment header contention
onside the data buffer pool
(db_cache_size, etc.).
* The most common remedies for high buffer busy waits include database writer
(DBWR) contention tuning, adding
freelists (or ASSM), and adding missing indexes.
QUESTION 78
You executed a DROP USER CASCADE on an Oracle 11g release 1 database and
immediately realized that you forgot
to copy the OCA.EXAM_RESULTS table to the OCP schema.
The RECYCLE_BIN enabled before the DROP USER was executed and the OCP
user has been granted the
FLASHBACK ANY TABLE system privilege.
What is the quickest way to recover the contents of the OCA.EXAM_RESULTS table
to the OCP schema?
A. Execute FLASHBACK TABLE OCA.EXAM_RESULTS TO BEFORE DROP
RENAME TO
OCP.EXAM_RESULTS; connected as SYSTEM.
B. Recover the table using traditional Tablespace Point In Time Recovery.
C. Recover the table using Automated Tablespace Point In Time Recovery.
D. Recovery the table using Database Point In Time Recovery.
E. Execute FLASHBACK TABLE OCA.EXAM_RESULTS TO BEFORE DROP
RENAME TO EXAM_RESULTS;
connected as the OCP user.
Answer: C
Explanation
RMAN tablespace point-in-time recovery (TSPITR).
Recovery Manager (RMAN) TSPITR enables quick recovery of one or more
tablespaces in a database to an earlier time
without affecting the rest of the tablespaces and objects in the database.
Fully Automated (the default)
In this mode, RMAN manages the entire TSPITR process including the auxiliary
instance. You specify the tablespaces
of the recovery set, an auxiliary destination, the target time, and you allow RMAN to
manage all other aspects of
TSPITR.
The default mode is recommended unless you specifically need more control over the
location of recovery set files after
TSPITR, auxiliary set files during TSPITR, channel settings and parameters or some
other aspect of
your auxiliary instance.
QUESTION 79
You want to capture column group usage and gather extended statistics for better
cardinality estimates for the
CUSTOMERS table in the SH schema.
Examine the following steps:
1. Issue the SELECT DBMS_STATS.CREATE_EXTENDED_STATS (‘SH’,
‘CUSTOMERS’) FROM dual statement.
2. Execute the DBMS_STATS.SEED_COL_USAGE (null, ‘SH’, 500) procedure. 3.
Execute the required queries on the CUSTOMERS table.
4. Issue the SELECT DBMS_STATS.REPORT_COL_USAGE (‘SH’,
‘CUSTOMERS’) FROM dual statement.
Identify the correct sequence of steps.
A. 3, 2, 1, 4
B. 2, 3, 4, 1
C. 4, 1, 3, 2
D. 3, 2, 4, 1
Answer: B
Explanation
Step 1 (2). Seed column usage
Oracle must observe a representative workload, in order to determine the appropriate
column groups. Using the new
procedure DBMS_STATS.SEED_COL_USAGE, you tell Oracle how long it should
observe the workload.
Step 2: (3) You don't need to execute all of the queries in your work during this
window. You can simply run explain
plan for some of your longer running queries to ensure column group information is
recorded for these queries.
Step 3. (1) Create the column groups
At this point you can get Oracle to automatically create the column groups for each of
the tables based on the usage
information captured during the monitoring window. You simply have to call the
DBMS_STATS.CREATE_EXTENDED_STATS function for each table.This
function requires just two arguments, the
schema name and the table name. From then on, statistics will be maintained for each
column group whenever statistics
are gathered on the table.
Note:
* DBMS_STATS.REPORT_COL_USAGE reports column usage information and
records all the SQL operations the
database has processed for a given object.
* The Oracle SQL optimizer has always been ignorant of the implied relationships
between data columns within the
same table. While the optimizer has traditionally analyzed the distribution of values
within a column, he does not collect
value-based relationships between columns.
* Creating extended statisticsHere are the steps to create extended statistics for related
table columns
withdbms_stats.created_extended_stats:
1 - The first step is to create column histograms for the related columns.2 – Next, we
run
dbms_stats.create_extended_stats to relate the columns together.
Unlike a traditional procedure that is invoked via an execute (“exec”) statement,
Oracle extended statistics are created
via a select statement.
QUESTION 80
You are about to plug a multi-terabyte non-CDB into an existing multitenant
container database (CDB). The
characteristics of the non-CDB are as follows:
– Version: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2.0) 64-bit
– Character set: AL32UTF8
– National character set: AL16UTF16
– O/S: Oracle Linux 6 64-bit
The characteristics of the CDB are as follows:
– Version: Oracle Database 12c Release 1 64-bit
– Character Set: AL32UTF8
– National character set: AL16UTF16
– O/S: Oracle Linux 6 64-bit
Which technique should you use to minimize down time while plugging this
non-CDB into the CDB? A. Transportable database
B. Transportable tablespace
C. Data Pump full export/import
D. The DBMS_PDB package
E. RMAN
Answer: B
Explanation
* Overview, example:
- Log into ncdb12c as sys
- Get the database in a consistent state by shutting it down cleanly.
- Open the database in read only mode
- Run DBMS_PDB.DESCRIBE to create an XML file describing the database.
- Shut down ncdb12c
- Connect to target CDB (CDB2)
- Check whether non-cdb (NCDB12c) can be plugged into CDB(CDB2)
- Plug-in Non-CDB (NCDB12c) as PDB(NCDB12c) into target CDB(CDB2).
- Access the PDB and run the noncdb_to_pdb.sql script.
- Open the new PDB in read/write mode.
* You can easily plug an Oracle Database 12c non-CDB into a CDB. Just create a
PDB manifest file for the non-CDB,
and then use the manifest file to create a cloned PDB in the CDB.
* Note that to plug in a non-CDB database into a CDB, the non-CDB database needs
to be of version 12c as well. So
existing 11g databases will need to be upgraded to 12c before they can be part of a
12c CDB.

QUESTION 82
You are the DBA supporting an Oracle 11g Release 2 database and wish to move a
table containing several DATE,
CHAR, VARCHAR2, and NUMBER data types, and the table’s indexes, to another
tablespace.
The table does not have a primary key and is used by an OLTP application.
Which technique will move the table and indexes while maintaining the highest level
of availability to the application?
A. Oracle Data Pump.
B. An ALTER TABLE MOVE to move the table and ALTER INDEX REBUILD to
move the indexes.
C. An ALTER TABLE MOVE to move the table and ALTER INDEX REBUILD
ONLINE to move the indexes.
D. Online Table Redefinition. E. Edition-Based Table Redefinition.
Answer: D
Explanation
* Oracle Database provides a mechanism to make table structure modifications
without significantly affecting the
availability of the table. The mechanism is called online table redefinition. Redefining
tables online provides a
substantial increase in availability compared to traditional methods of redefining
tables.
* To redefine a table online:
Choose the redefinition method: by key or by rowid
* By key—Select a primary key or pseudo-primary key to use for the redefinition.
Pseudo-primary keys are unique keys
with all component columns having NOT NULL constraints. For this method, the
versions of the tables before and after
redefinition should have the same primary key columns. This is the preferred and
default method of redefinition.
* By rowid—Use this method if no key is available. In this method, a hidden column
named M_ROW$$ is added to the
post-redefined version of the table. It is recommended that this column be dropped or
marked as unused after the
redefinition is complete. If COMPATIBLE is set to 10.2.0 or higher, the final phase
of redefinition automatically sets
this column unused. You can then use the ALTER TABLE ... DROP UNUSED
COLUMNS statement to drop it.
You cannot use this method on index-organized tables.
Note:
* When you rebuild an index, you use an existing index as the data source. Creating
an index in this manner enables you
to change storage characteristics or move to a new tablespace. Rebuilding an index
based on an existing data source
removes intra-block fragmentation. Compared to dropping the index and using the
CREATE INDEX statement, recreating an existing index offers better performance.
Incorrect:
Not E: Edition-based redefinition enables you to upgrade the database component of
an application while it is in use,
thereby minimizing or eliminating down time.

Which two are true? (Choose two.)
A. It fails because the DELETE INPUT option can be used only with the BACKUP
AS COPY command
B. It creates image copies of the archivelogs
C. It creates a backupset of archive log files
D. It creates image copies of the database files
E. It fails because the DELETE INPUT option can be used only with the BACKUP
AS BACKUPSET command
Answer: B E
QUESTION 84
You use a recovery catalog for maintaining your database backups.
You execute the following command:
$rman TARGET / CATALOG rman / cat@catdb
RMAN > BACKUP VALIDATE DATABASE ARCHIVELOG ALL;
Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)
A. Corrupted blocks, if any, are repaired.
B. Checks are performed for physical corruptions.
C. Checks are performed for logical corruptions.
D. Checks are performed to confirm whether all database files exist in correct
locations
E. Backup sets containing both data files and archive logs are created.
Answer: B D
Explanation
B (not C): You can validate that all database files and archived redo logs can be
backed up by running a command as
follows:
RMAN> BACKUP VALIDATE DATABASE ARCHIVELOG ALL;
This form of the command would check for physical corruption. To check for logical
corruption,
RMAN> BACKUP VALIDATE CHECK LOGICAL DATABASE ARCHIVELOG
ALL;
D: You can use the VALIDATE keyword of the BACKUP command to do the
following:
Check datafiles for physical and logical corruption
Confirm that all database files exist and are in the correct locations.
Note:
You can use the VALIDATE option of the BACKUP command to verify that
database files exist and are in the correct
locations (D), and have no physical or logical corruptions that would prevent RMAN
from creating backups of them.
When performing a BACKUP...VALIDATE, RMAN reads the files to be backed up
in their entirety, as it would during
a real backup. It does not, however, actually produce any backup sets or image copies
(Not A, not E).
QUESTION 85
You run a script that completes successfully using SQL*Plus that performs these
actions:
1. Creates a multitenant container database (CDB)
2. Plugs in three pluggable databases (PDBs)
3. Shuts down the CDB instance
4. Starts up the CDB instance using STARTUP OPEN READ WRITE
Which two statements are true about the outcome after running the script? (Choose
two.)
A. The seed will be in mount state.
B. The seed will be opened read-only.
C. The seed will be opened read/write.
D. The other PDBs will be in mount state.
E. The other PDBs will be opened read-only.
F. The PDBs will be opened read/write.
Answer: B D
Explanation
B: The seed is always read-only. D: Pluggable databases can be started and stopped
using SQL*Plus commands or the ALTER PLUGGABLE
DATABASE command.
QUESTION 86
Examine the following query output:
You issue the following command to import tables into the hr schema:
$ > impdp hr/hr directory = dumpdir dumpfile = hr_new.dmp schemas=hr
TRANSFORM=DISABLE_ARCHIVE_LOGGING: Y
Which statement is true?
A. All database operations performed by the impdp command are logged.
B. Only CREATE INDEX and CREATE TABLE statements generated by the import
are logged.
C. Only CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements generated by the import
are logged.
D. None of the operations against the master table used by Oracle Data Pump to
coordinate its activities are logged.
Answer: C
Explanation
Oracle Data Pump disable redo logging when loading data into tables and when
creating indexes.
The new TRANSFORM option introduced in data pumps import provides the
flexibility to turn off the redo generation
for the objects during the course of import. The Master Table is used to track the
detailed progress information of a Data
Pump job.
The Master Table is created in the schema of the current user running the Pump
Dump export or import, and it keeps
tracks of lots of detailed information.
QUESTION 87
You create a new pluggable database, HR_PDB, from the seed database. Which three
tablespaces are created by default
in HR_PDB? (Choose three.)
A. SYSTEM
B. SYSAUX
C. EXAMPLE
D. UNDO
E. TEMP
F. USERS
Answer: A B E
Explanation * A PDB would have its SYSTEM, SYSAUX, TEMP tablespaces.It can
also contains other user created tablespaces in it.
* Oracle Database creates both the SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespaces as part of
every database.
* tablespace_datafile_clauses
Use these clauses to specify attributes for all data files comprising the SYSTEM and
SYSAUX tablespaces in the seed
PDB.
Incorrect:
Not D: a PDB can not have an undo tablespace. Instead, it uses the undo tablespace
belonging to the CDB. Note:
* Example:
CONN pdb_admin@pdb1
SELECT tablespace_name FROM dba_tablespaces; TABLESPACE_NAME
------------------------------

QUESTION 88
You execute the following commands to audit database activities:
SQL > ALTER SYSTEM SET AUDIT_TRIAL=DB, EXTENDED SCOPE=SPFILE;
SQL > AUDIT SELECT TABLE, INSERT TABLE, DELETE TABLE BY JOHN By
SESSION WHENEVER
SUCCESSFUL;
Which statement is true about the audit record that generated when auditing after
instance restarts?
A. One audit record is created for every successful execution of a SELECT, INSERT
OR DELETE command on a table,
and contains the SQL text for the SQL Statements.
B. One audit record is created for every successful execution of a SELECT, INSERT
OR DELETE command, and
contains the execution plan for the SQL statements.
C. One audit record is created for the whole session if john successfully executes a
SELECT, INSERT, or DELETE
command, and contains the execution plan for the SQL statements.
D. One audit record is created for the whole session if JOHN successfully executes a
select command, and
contains the SQL text and bind variables used.
E. One audit record is created for the whole session if john successfully executes a
SELECT, INSERT, or DELETE
command on a table, and contains the execution plan, SQL text, and bind variables
used.
Answer: A
Explanation
Note:
* BY SESSION
In earlier releases, BY SESSION caused the database to write a single record for all
SQL statements or operations of the
same type executed on the same schema objects in the same session. Beginning with
this release (11g) of Oracle
Database, both BY SESSION and BY ACCESS cause Oracle Database to write one
audit record for each audited
statement and operation.
* BY ACCESS
Specify BY ACCESS if you want Oracle Database to write one record for each
audited statement and operation.
Note:
If you specify either a SQL statement shortcut or a system privilege that audits a data
definition language (DDL)
statement, then the database always audits by access. In all other cases, the database
honors the BY SESSION or BY
ACCESS specification.
* For each audited operation, Oracle Database produces an audit record containing
this
information: / The user performing the operation
/ The type of operation
/ The object involved in the operation
/ The date and time of the operation References:
QUESTION 89
Which four statements are true about database instance behavior? (Choose four.)
A. An idle instance is created when a STARTUP NOMOUNT is successful
B. All dynamic performance views (v$ views) return data when queried from a
session connected to an
instance in NOMOUNT state
C. The consistency of redo logs and data files is checked when mounting the database
D. Redo log files can be renamed in MOUNT state
E. An SPFILE can be updated when connected to an idle instance
F. Datafiles can be renamed in MOUNT state
Answer: C D E F
QUESTION 90
Identify three scenarios in which you would recommend the use of SQL Performance
Analyzer to analyze impact on the
performance of SQL statements.
A. Change in the Oracle Database version
B. Change in your network infrastructure
C. Change in the hardware configuration of the database server
D. Migration of database storage from non-ASM to ASM storage
E. Database and operating system upgrade
Answer: A C E
Explanation
Oracle 11g/12c makes further use of SQL tuning sets with the SQL Performance
Analyzer, which compares the
performance of the statements in a tuning set before and after a database change. The
database change can be as major or
minor as you like, such as:
* (E) Database, operating system, or hardware upgrades.
* (A, C) Database, operating system, or hardware configuration changes.
* Database initialization parameter changes.
* Schema changes, such as adding indexes or materialized views.
* Refreshing optimizer statistics.
* Creating or changing SQL profiles.
QUESTION 91
You execute the following piece of code with appropriate privileges:
User SCOTT has been granted the CREATE SESSION privilege and the MGR role.
Which two statements are true when a session logged in as SCOTT queries the SAL
column in the view and the table?
(Choose two.)
A. Data is redacted for the EMP.SAL column only if the SCOTT session does not
have the MGR role set.
B. Data is redacted for EMP.SAL column only if the SCOTT session has the MGR
role set.
C. Data is never redacted for the EMP_V.SAL column.
D. Data is redacted for the EMP_V.SAL column only if the SCOTT session has the
MGR role set.
E. Data is redacted for the EMP_V.SAL column only if the SCOTT session does not
have the MGR role set.
Answer: A C
Explanation
Note:
* DBMS_REDACT.FULL completely redacts the column data.
* DBMS_REDACT.NONE applies no redaction on the column data. Use this
function for development testing purposes.
LOB columns are not supported.
* The DBMS_REDACT package provides an interface to Oracle Data Redaction,
which enables you to mask (redact)
data that is returned from queries issued by low-privileged users or an application.
* If you create a view chain (that is, a view based on another view), then the Data
Redaction policy also applies
throughout this view chain. The policies remain in effect all of the way up through
this view chain, but if another policy
is created for one of these views, then for the columns affected in the subsequent
views, this new policy takes precedence.
QUESTION 92
What is the effect of specifying the "ENABLE PLUGGABLE DATABASE" clause
in a "CREATE DATABASE”
statement?
A. It will create a multitenant container database (CDB) with only the root opened.
B. It will create a CDB with root opened and seed read only.
C. It will create a CDB with root and seed opened and one PDB mounted.
D. It will create a CDB that must be plugged into an existing CDB.
E. It will create a CDB with root opened and seed mounted.
Answer: B
Explanation
* The CREATE DATABASE ... ENABLE PLUGGABLE DATABASE SQL
statement creates a new CDB. If you do
not specify the ENABLE PLUGGABLE DATABASE clause, then the newly created
database is a non-CDB and can
never contain PDBs.
Along with the root (CDB$ROOT), Oracle Database automatically creates a seed
PDB (PDB$SEED). The following
graphic shows a newly created CDB:
* Creating a PDB
Rather than constructing the data dictionary tables that define an empty PDB from
scratch, and then populating its Obj$
and Dependency$ tables, the empty PDB is created when the CDB is created. (Here,
we use empty to mean containing
no customer-created artifacts.) It is referred to as the seed PDB and has the name
PDB$Seed. Every CDB non-negotiably
contains a seed PDB; it is non-negotiably always open in read-only mode. This has no
conceptual significance; rather, it
is just an optimization device. The create PDB operation is implemented as a special
case of the clone PDB operation.
QUESTION 93
Which three statements are true about using flashback database in a multitenant
container database (CDB)? (Choose
three.)
A. The root container can be flashed back without flashing back the pluggable
databases (PDBs).
B. To enable flashback database, the CDB must be mounted.
C. Individual PDBs can be flashed back without flashing back the entire CDB. D. The
DB_FLASHBACK RETENTION_TARGET parameter must be set to enable
flashback of the CDB.
E. A CDB can be flashed back specifying the desired target point in time or an SCN,
but not a restore point.
Answer: A B D
QUESTION 94
Which two statements are true about extents? (Choose two.)
A. Blocks belonging to an extent can be spread across multiple data files.
B. Data blocks in an extent are logically contiguous but can be non-contiguous on
disk.
C. The blocks of a newly allocated extent, although free, may have been used before.
D. Data blocks in an extent are automatically reclaimed for use by other objects in a
tablespace when all the rows in a
table are deleted.
Answer: B C
QUESTION 95
The HR user receives the following error while inserting data into the sales table:
On investigation, you find that the users tablespace uses Automatic Segment Space
Management (ASSM). It is the
default tablespace for the HR user with an unlimited quota on it.
Which two methods would you use to resolve this error? (Choose two.)
A. Altering the data file associated with the USERS tablespace to extend
automatically
B. Adding a data file to the USERS tablespace
C. Changing segment space management for the USERS tablespace to manual
D. Creating a new tablespace with autoextend enabled and changing the default
tablespace of the HR user to the new
tablespace
E. Enabling resumable space allocation by setting the RESUMABLE_TIMEOUT
parameter to a nonzero value
Answer: A B
QUESTION 96
Identify two correct statements about multitenant architectures.
A. Multitenant architecture can be deployed only in a Real Application Clusters (RAC)
configuration.
B. Multiple pluggable databases (PDBs) share certain multitenant container database
(CDB) resources.
C. Multiple CDBs share certain PDB resources.
D. Multiple non-RAC CDB instances can mount the same PDB as long as they are on
the same server.
E. Patches are always applied at the CDB level.
F. A PDB can have a private undo tablespace.
Answer: B E Explanation
B: Using 12c Resource manager you will be able control CPU, Exadata I/O, sessions
and parallel servers. A new 12c
CDB Resource Manager Plan will use so-called “Shares” (resource allocations) to
specify how CPU
is distributed between PDBs. A CDB Resource Manager Plan also can use “utilization
limits” to limit the CPU usage for
a PDB. With a default directive, you do not need to modify the resource plan for each
PDB plug and unplug.
E: New paradigms for rapid patching and upgrades.
The investment of time and effort to patch one multitenant container database results
in patching all of its many
pluggable databases. To patch a single pluggable database, you simply unplug/plug to
a multitenant container database at
a different Oracle Database software version.
Incorrect:
Not A:
* The Oracle RAC documentation describes special considerations for a CDB in an
Oracle RAC environment.
* Oracle Multitenant is a new option for Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition that
helps customers reduce IT costs by
simplifying consolidation, provisioning, upgrades, and more.
It is supported by a new architecture that allows a container database to hold many
pluggable databases. And it fully
complements other options, including Oracle Real Application Clusters and Oracle
Active Data Guard. An existing
database can be simply adopted, with no change, as a pluggable database; and no
changes are needed in the other tiers of
the application.
Not D: You can unplug a PDB from one CDB and plug it into a different CDB
without altering your schemas or
applications. A PDB can be plugged into only one CDB at a time.
not F:
* UNDO tablespace can NOT be local and stays on the CDB level.
* Redo and undo go hand in hand, and so the CDB as a whole has a single undo
tablespace per RAC instance.
QUESTION 97
Which two statements are true about the Oracle Direct Network File system (DNFS)?
(Choose two.)
A. It utilizes the OS file system cache.
B. A traditional NFS mount is not required when using Direct NFS.
C. Oracle Disk Manager can manage NFS on its own, without using the operating
kernel NFS driver.
D. Direct NFS is available only in UNIX platforms.
E. Direct NFS can load-balance I/O traffic across multiple network adapters.
Answer: C E
Explanation
E: Performance is improved by load balancing across multiple network interfaces (if
available).
Note:
* To enable Direct NFS Client, you must replace the standard Oracle Disk Manager
(ODM) library with one that
supports Direct NFS Client.
Incorrect:
Not A: Direct NFS Client is capable of performing concurrent direct I/O, which
bypasses any operating system level
caches and eliminates any operating system write-ordering locks
Not B:
* To use Direct NFS Client, the NFS file systems must first be mounted and available
over regular NFS mounts.
* Oracle Direct NFS (dNFS) is an optimized NFS (Network File System) client that
provides faster and more scalable
access to NFS storage located on NAS storage devices (accessible over TCP/IP).
Not D: Direct NFS is provided as part of the database kernel, and is thus available on
all supported database platforms -
even those that don't support NFS natively, like Windows. Note:
* Oracle Direct NFS (dNFS) is an optimized NFS (Network File System) client that
provides faster and more scalable
access to NFS storage located on NAS storage devices (accessible over TCP/IP).
Direct NFS is built directly into the
database kernel - just like ASM which is mainly used when using DAS or SAN
storage.
* Oracle Direct NFS (dNFS) is an internal I/O layer that provides faster access to
large NFS files than traditional NFS
clients.
QUESTION 98
You install a non-RAC Oracle Database. During Installation, the Oracle Universal
Installer (OUI) prompts you to enter
the path of the Inventory directory and also to specify an operating system group
name.
Which statement is true?
A. The ORACLE_BASE base parameter is not set.
B. The installation is being performed by the root user.
C. The operating system group that is specified should have the root user as its
member.
D. The operating system group that is specified must have permission to write to the
inventory directory.
Answer: D
Explanation
Note:
Providing a UNIX Group Name
If you are installing a product on a UNIX system, the Installer will also prompt you to
provide the name of the group
which should own the base directory.
You must choose a UNIX group name which will have permissions to update, install,
and deinstall Oracle software.
Members of this group must have write permissions to the base directory chosen.
Only users who belong to this group are able to install or deinstall software on this
machine.
QUESTION 99
As a user of the ORCL database, you establish a database link to the remote HQ
database such that all users in the ORCL
database may access tables only from the SCOTT schema in the HQ database.
SCOTT’s password is TIGER. The
service mane “HQ” is used to connect to the remote HQ database.
Which command would you execute to create the database link?
A. CREATE DATABASE LINK HQ USING 'HQ';
B. CREATE DATABASE LINK HQ CONNECT TO CURRENT_USER USING
‘HQ’;
C. CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK HQ CONNECT TO scott IDENTIFIED
BY tiger USING 'HQ';
D. CREATE DATABASE LINK HQ CONNECT TO scott IDENTIFIED BY tiger
USING 'HQ';
Answer: C
QUESTION 100
Which three statements are true concerning unplugging a pluggable database (PDB)?
(Choose three.)
A. The PDB must be open in read only mode.
B. The PDB must be dosed.
C. The unplugged PDB becomes a non-CDB.
D. The unplugged PDB can be plugged into the same multitenant container database
(CDB)
E. The unplugged PDB can be plugged into another CDB. F. The PDB data files are
automatically removed from disk.
Answer: B D E
Explanation
B, not A: The PDB must be closed before unplugging it.
D: An unplugged PDB contains data dictionary tables, and some of the columns in
these encode information in an
endianness-sensitive way. There is no supported way to handle the conversion of such
columns automatically. This
means, quite simply, that an unplugged PDB cannot be moved across an endianness
difference.
E (not F): To exploit the new unplug/plug paradigm for patching the Oracle version
most effectively, the source and
destination CDBs should share a filesystem so that the PDB’s datafiles can remain in
place.

QUESTION 101
Identify three valid options for adding a pluggable database (PDB) to an existing
multitenant container database (CDB).
A. Use the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE statement to create a PDB using
the files from the SEED.
B. Use the CREATE DATABASE . . . ENABLE PLUGGABLE DATABASE
statement to provision a PDB by copying
file from the SEED.
C. Use the DBMS_PDB package to clone an existing PDB.
D. Use the DBMS_PDB package to plug an Oracle 12c non-CDB database into an
existing CDB.
E. Use the DBMS_PDB package to plug an Oracle 11 g Release 2 (11.2.0.3.0)
non-CDB database into an existing CDB.
Answer: A C D
Explanation
Use the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE statement to create a pluggable
database (PDB).
This statement enables you to perform the following tasks:
* (A) Create a PDB by using the seed as a template
Use the create_pdb_from_seed clause to create a PDB by using the seed in the
multitenant container database (CDB) as a template. The files associated with the seed
are copied to a new location and the copied files are then associated with the
new PDB.
* (C) Create a PDB by cloning an existing PDB
Use the create_pdb_clone clause to create a PDB by copying an existing PDB (the
source PDB) and then plugging the
copy into the CDB. The files associated with the source PDB are copied to a new
location and the copied files are
associated with the new PDB. This operation is called cloning a PDB.
The source PDB can be plugged in or unplugged. If plugged in, then the source PDB
can be in the same CDB or in a
remote CDB. If the source PDB is in a remote CDB, then a database link is used to
connect to the remote CDB and copy
the files.
* Create a PDB by plugging an unplugged PDB or a non-CDB into a CDB
Use the create_pdb_from_xml clause to plug an unplugged PDB or a non-CDB into a
CDB, using an XML metadata file.
QUESTION 102
Identify three valid methods of opening, pluggable databases (PDBs).
A. ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE OPEN ALL ISSUED from the root
B. ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE OPEN ALL ISSUED from a PDB
C. ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE PDB OPEN issued from the seed
D. ALTER DATABASE PDB OPEN issued from the root
E. ALTER DATABASE OPEN issued from that PDB F. ALTER PLUGGABLE
DATABASE PDB OPEN issued from another PDB
G. ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE OPEN issued from that PDB
Answer: A E G
Explanation
E: You can perform all ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE tasks by connecting to a
PDB and running the
corresponding ALTER DATABASE statement. This functionality is provided to
maintain backward compatibility for
applications that have been migrated to a CDB environment.
AG: When you issue an ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE OPEN statement,
READ WRITE is the default unless a
PDB being opened belongs to a CDB that is used as a physical standby database, in
which case READ ONLY is the
default.
You can specify which PDBs to modify in the following ways:
List one or more PDBs.
Specify ALL to modify all of the PDBs.
Specify ALL EXCEPT to modify all of the PDBs, except for the PDBs listed.

QUESTION 104
Your database supports a DSS workload that involves the execution of complex
queries: Currently, the library cache contains the ideal workload for analysis. You
want to analyze some of the queries for an application that are cached in the library
cache.
What must you do to receive recommendations about the efficient use of indexes and
materialized views to improve query performance?
A. Create a SQL Tuning Set (STS) that contains the queries cached in the library
cache and run the SQL Tuning Advisor
(STA) on the workload captured in the STS.
B. Run the Automatic Workload Repository Monitor (ADDM).
C. Create an STS that contains the queries cached in the library cache and run the
SQL Performance Analyzer (SPA) on
the workload captured in the STS.
D. Create an STS that contains the queries cached in the library cache and run the
SQL Access Advisor on the workload
captured in the STS.
Answer: D
Explanation
* SQL Access Advisor is primarily responsible for making schema modification
recommendations, such as adding or
dropping indexes and materialized views. SQL Tuning Advisor makes other types of
recommendations, such as creating
SQL profiles and restructuring SQL statements. * The query optimizer can also help
you tune SQL statements. By using SQL Tuning Advisor and SQL
Access Advisor, you can invoke the query optimizer in advisory mode to examine a
SQL statement or set of statements
and determine how to improve their efficiency. SQL Tuning Advisor and SQL Access
Advisor can make various
recommendations, such as creating SQL profiles, restructuring SQL statements,
creating additional indexes or
materialized views, and refreshing optimizer statistics.
Note:
* Decision support system (DSS) workload
* The library cache is a shared pool memory structure that stores executable SQL and
PL/SQL code. This cache contains
the shared SQL and PL/SQL areas and control structures such as locks and library
cache handles.

Examine the parameters for your database instance:
You execute the following command:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE undotbs1 RETENTION NOGUARANTEE;
Which statement is true in this scenario?
A. Undo data is written to flashback logs after 1200 seconds.
B. Inactive undo data is retained for 1200 seconds even if subsequent transactions fail
due to lack of space in the undo tablespace.
C. You can perform a Flashback Database operation only within the duration seconds.
D. An attempt is made to keep inactive undo for 1200 seconds but transactions may
overwrite the undo before that time
has elapsed.

Which four actions are possible during an Online Data file Move operation? (Choose
four.)
A. Creating and dropping tables in the data file being moved
B. Performing file shrink of the data file being moved
C. Querying tables in the data file being moved
D. Performing Block Media Recovery for a data block in the data file being moved
E. Flashing back the database
F. Executing DML statements on objects stored in the data file being moved
Answer: A C E F
Explanation
- You can now move On line Datafile without hove to stop Monoged Recovery and
manually copy and rename Files.
This can even be used to move Datafiles from or to ASM.
- New in Oracle Database 12c: FROM METAUNK. Physical Standby Database is in
Active Data Guard Mode (opened
READ ONLY and Managed Recovery is running):
It is now possible to online move a Datafile while Managed Recovery is running, ie.
the Physical Standby Database is in
Active Data Guard Mode. You con use this Command to move the Datafile
- A flashback operation does not relocate a moved data file to its previous location. If
you move a data file online from
one location to another and later flash back the database to a point in time before the
move, then the Data file remains in
the new location, but the contents of the Data file ore changed to the contents at the
time specified in the flashback.

QUESTION 112
You created a new database using the "create database" statement without specifying
the "ENABLE PLUGGABLE"
clause.
What are two effects of not using the "ENABLE PLUGGABLE database" clause?
A. The database is created as a non-CDB and can never contain a PDB.
B. The database is treated as a PDB and must be plugged into an existing multitenant
container database (CDB).
C. The database is created as a non-CDB and can never be plugged into a CDB.
D. The database is created as a non-CDB but can be plugged into an existing CDB.
E. The database is created as a non-CDB but will become a CDB whenever the first
PDB is plugged in.
Answer: A D
Explanation
A (not B,not E): The CREATE DATABASE ... ENABLE PLUGGABLE
DATABASE SQL statement creates a new
CDB. If you do not specify the ENABLE PLUGGABLE DATABASE clause, then
the newly created database is a non
CDB and can never contain PDBs.
D: You can create a PDB by plugging in a Non-CDB as a PDB.
The following graphic depicts the options for creating a PDB:
Incorrect:
Not E: For the duration of its existence, a database is either a CDB or a non-CDB.
You cannot transform a non-CDB into
a CDB or vice versa. You must define a database as a CDB at creation, and then
create PDBs within this CDB.

QUESTION 120
You upgraded from a previous Oracle database version to Oracle Database version to
Oracle Database 12c. Your
database supports a mixed workload. During the day, lots of insert, update, and delete
operations are performed. At night,
Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) and batch reporting jobs are run. The ETL jobs
perform certain database operations
using two or more concurrent sessions.
After the upgrade, you notice that the performance of ETL jobs has degraded. To
ascertain the cause of performance degradation, you want to collect basic statistics
such as the level of parallelism, total database time, and the number of
I/O requests for the ETL jobs.
How do you accomplish this?
A. Examine the Active Session History (ASH) reports for the time period of the ETL
or batch reporting runs.
B. Enable SQL tracing for the queries in the ETL and batch reporting queries and
gather diagnostic data from the trace
file.
C. Enable real-time SQL monitoring for ETL jobs and gather diagnostic data from the
V$SQL_MONITOR view.
D. Enable real-time database operation monitoring using the
DBMS_SQL_MONITOR.BEGIN_OPERATION function,
and then use the DBMS_SQL_MONITOR.REPORT_SQL_MONITOR function to
view the required information.
Answer: D
Explanation
* Monitoring database operations
Real-Time Database Operations Monitoring enables you to monitor long running
database tasks such as batch jobs,
scheduler jobs, and Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) jobs as a
composite business operation. This feature
tracks the progress of SQL and PL/SQL queries associated with the business
operation being monitored. As a DBA or
developer, you can define business operations for monitoring by explicitly specifying
the start and end of the operation
or implicitly with tags that identify the operation.

Examine the following commands for redefining a table with Virtual Private Database
(VPD) policies:
Which two statements are true about redefining the table? (Choose two.)
A. All the triggers for the table are disabled without changing any of the column
names or column types in the table.
B. The primary key constraint on the EMPLOYEES table is disabled during
redefinition.
C. VPD policies are copied from the original table to the new table during online
redefinition.
D. You must copy the VPD policies manually from the original table to the new table
during online redefinition.
Answer: B C
Explanation
C (not D): CONS_VPD_AUTO
Used to indicate to copy VPD policies automatically
* DBMS_RLS.ADD_POLICY
/ The DBMS_RLS package contains the fine-grained access control administrative
interface, which is used to implement
Virtual Private Database (VPD).DBMS_RLS is available with the Enterprise Edition
only.
Note: * CONS_USE_PK and CONS_USE_ROWID are constants used as input to the
"options_flag" parameter in both the
START_REDEF_TABLE Procedure and CAN_REDEF_TABLE Procedure.
CONS_USE_ROWID is used to indicate
that the redefinition should be done using rowids while CONS_USE_PK implies that
the redefinition should be done
using primary keys or pseudo-primary keys (which are unique keys with all
component columns having NOT NULL
constraints).
* DBMS_REDEFINITION.START_REDEF_TABLE
To achieve online redefinition, incrementally maintainable local materialized views
are used. These logs keep track of
the changes to the master tables and are used by the materialized views during refresh
synchronization.
* START_REDEF_TABLE Procedure
Prior to calling this procedure, you must manually create an empty interim table (in
the same schema as the table to be
redefined) with the desired attributes of the post-redefinition table, and then call this
procedure to initiate the redefinition.

QUESTION 130
Examine the parameters for your database instance:
Which three statements are true about the process of automatic optimization by using
cardinality feedback? (Choose
three.)
A. The optimizer automatically changes a plan during subsequent execution of a SQL
statement if there is a huge
difference in optimizer estimates and execution statistics.
B. The optimizer can CK optimize a query only once using cardinality feedback.
C. The optimizer enables monitoring for cardinality feedback after the first execution
of a query.
D. The optimizer does not monitor cardinality feedback if dynamic sampling and
multicolumn statistics are enabled.
E. After the optimizer identifies a query as a re-optimization candidate, statistics
collected by the collectors are submitted
to the optimizer.
Answer: A C D
Explanation
C: During the first execution of a SQL statement, an execution plan is generated as
usual.
D: if multi-column statistics are not present for the relevant combination of columns,
the optimizer can fall back on
cardinality feedback.
(not B)* Cardinality feedback. This feature, enabled by default in 11.2, is intended to
improve plans for repeated
executions.
optimizer_dynamic_sampling
optimizer_features_enable
* dynamic sampling or multi-column statistics allow the optimizer to more accurately
estimate selectivity of conjunctive predicates.
Note:
* OPTIMIZER_DYNAMIC_SAMPLING controls the level of dynamic sampling
performed by the optimizer. Range of
values. 0 to 10
* Cardinality feedback was introduced in Oracle Database 11gR2. The purpose of this
feature is to automatically
improve plans for queries that are executed repeatedly, for which the optimizer does
not estimate cardinalities in the plan
properly. The optimizer may misestimate cardinalities for a variety of reasons, such as
missing or inaccurate statistics, or
complex predicates. Whatever the reason for the misestimate, cardinality feedback
may be able to help.
QUESTION 131
You are connected to a pluggable database (PDB) as a common user with DBA

ALL SID = ‘*’ SCOPE = SPFILE; Which is true about the result of this command?
A. The STATISTICS_LEVEL parameter is set to all whenever this PDB is re-opened.
B. The STATISTICS_LEVEL parameter is set to ALL whenever any PDB is
reopened.
C. The STATISTICS_LEVEL parameter is set to all whenever the multitenant
container database (CDB) is restarted.
D. Nothing happens; because there is no SPFILE for each PDB, the statement is
ignored.

QUESTION 132
Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a stand-alone server is installed on your production host
before installing the Oracle
Database server. The database and listener are configured by using Oracle Restart.
Examine the following command and its output:
$ crsctl config has
CRS-4622: Oracle High Availability Services auto start is enabled.
What does this imply?
A. When you start an instance on a high with SQL *Plus dependent listeners and
ASM disk groups are automatically
started.
B. When a database instance is started by using the SRVCTL utility and listener
startup fails, the instance is still started.
C. When a database is created by using SQL* Plus, it is automatically added to the
Oracle Restart configuration.
D. When you create a database service by modifying the SERVICE_NAMES
initialization parameter, it is automatically
added to the Oracle Restart configuration.
Answer: B
Explanation
About Startup Dependencies
Oracle Restart ensures that Oracle components are started in the proper order, in
accordance with component
dependencies. For example, if database files are stored in Oracle ASM disk groups,
then before starting the database
instance, Oracle Restart ensures that the Oracle ASM instance is started and the
required disk groups are mounted.
Likewise, if a component must be shut down, Oracle Restart ensures that dependent
components are cleanly shut down
first.
Oracle Restart also manages the weak dependency between database instances and the
Oracle Net listener (the listener):
When a database instance is started, Oracle Restart attempts to start the listener. If the
listener startup fails, then the database is still started. If the listener later fails, Oracle
Restart does not shut down and restart any database instances.

QUESTION 133
Your multitenant container (CDB) containing three pluggable databases (PDBs) is
running in ARCHIVELOG mode.
You find that the SYSAUX tablespace is corrupted in the root container.
The steps to recover the tablespace are as follows:
1. Mount the CDB.
2. Close all the PDBs.
3. Open the database.
4. Apply the archive redo logs.
5. Restore the data file.
6. Take the SYSAUX tablespace offline.
7. Place the SYSAUX tablespace online.
8. Open all the PDBs with RESETLOGS.
9. Open the database with RESETLOGS.
10. Execute the command SHUTDOWN ABORT.
Which option identifies the correct sequence to recover the SYSAUX tablespace?
A. 6, 5, 4, 7
B. 10, 1, 2, 5, 8
C. 10, 1, 2, 5, 4, 9, 8
D. 10, 1, 5, 8, 10
Answer: A
Explanation
RMAN> ALTER TABLESPACE sysaux OFFLINE IMMEDIATE;
RMAN> RESTORE TABLESPACE sysaux;
RMAN> RECOVER TABLESPACE sysaux;
RMAN> ALTER TABLESPACE sysaux ONLINE;
* Example:
While evaluating the 12c beta3 I was not able to do the recover while testing “all pdb
files lost”. Cannot close the pdb as
the system datafile was missing…
So only option to recover was: Shutdown cdb (10)
startup mount; (1)
restore pluggable database recover pluggable database alter database open;
alter pluggable database name open;
Oracle support says: You should be able to close the pdb and restore/recover the
system tablespace of PDB.
* Inconsistent backups are usually created by taking online database backups. You
can also make an inconsistent backup
by backing up data files while a database is closed, either:
/ Immediately after the crash of an Oracle instance (or, in an Oracle RAC
configuration, all instances)
/ After shutting down the database using SHUTDOWN ABORT
Inconsistent backups are only useful if the database is in ARCHIVELOG mode and
all archived redo logs created since
the backup are available.
* Open the database with the RESETLOGS option after finishing recovery: SQL>
ALTER DATABASE OPEN
RESETLOGS;

A. Add a new temp file to the temporary tablespace and drop the temp file that that
produced the error.
B. Shut down the database instance, restore the temp01.tmp file from the backup, and
then restart the database.
C. Take the temporary tablespace offline, recover the missing temp file by applying
redo logs, and then bring the
temporary tablespace online.
D. Shutdown the database instance, restore and recover the temp file from the backup,
and then open the database with
RESETLOGS.
E. Shut down the database instance and then restart the CDB and PDBs.
Answer: A E
Explanation
* Because temp files cannot be backed up and because no redo is ever generated for
them, RMAN never restores or
recovers temp files. RMAN does track the names of temp files, but only so that it can
automatically re-create them when
needed.
* If you use RMAN in a Data Guard environment, then RMAN transparently converts
primary control files to standby
control files and vice versa. RMAN automatically updates file names for data files,
online redo logs, standby redo logs,
and temp files when you issue RESTORE and RECOVER.
QUESTION 145
You want to flash back a test database by five hours.
You issue this command:
SQL > FLASHBACK DATABASE TO TIMESTAMP (SYSDATE - 5/24);
Which two statements are true about this flashback scenario? (Choose two.)
A. The database must have multiplexed redo logs for the flashback to succeed.
B. The database must be MOUNTED for the flashback to succeed.
C. The database must use block change tracking for the flashback to succeed.
D. The database must be opened in restricted mode for the flashback to succeed.
E. The database must be opened with the RESETLOGS option after the flashback is
complete.
F. The database must be opened in read-only mode to check if the database has been
flashed back to the correct SCN.
Answer: B E
QUESTION 146
You want to prevent a group of users in your database from performing long-running
transactions that consume huge
amounts of space in the undo tablespace. If the quota for these users is exceeded
during execution of a data manipulation
language (DML) statement, the operation should abort and return an error. However,
queries should still be allowed,
even if users have exceeded the undo space limitation.
How would you achieve this?
A. Specify the maximum amount of quota a user can be allocated in the undo
tablespace.
B. Decrease the number of Interested Transaction List (ITL) slots for the segments on
which these users perform
transactions. C. Implement a profile for these users.
D. Implement a Database Resource Manager plan.
Answer: D
QUESTION 147
Your multitenant container database, CDB1, is running in ARCHIVELOG mode and
has two pluggable databases,
HR_PDB and ACCOUNTS_PDB. An RMAN backup exists for the database.
You issue the command to open ACCOUNTS_PDB and find that the
USERDATA.DBF data file for the default
permanent tablespace USERDATA belonging to ACCOUNTS_PDB is corrupted.
What should you do before executing the commands to restore and recover the data
file in ACCOUNTS_PDB?
A. Place CDB1 in the mount stage and then the USERDATA tablespace offline in
ACCOUNTS_PDB.
B. Place CDB1 in the mount stage and issue the ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE
accounts_pdb CLOSE
IMMEDIATE command.
C. Issue the ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE accounts_pdb RESTRICTED
command.
D. Take the USERDATA tablespace offline in ACCOUNTS_PDB.
Answer: D
Explanation
* You can take an online tablespace offline so that it is temporarily unavailable for
general use. The rest of the database
remains open and available for users to access data. Conversely, you can bring an
offline tablespace online to make the
schema objects within the tablespace available to database users. The database must
be open to alter the availability of a
tablespace.
QUESTION 148
What should you do to ensure that a job stores minimal job metadata and runtime data

QUESTION 149
In your Database, the TBS PERCENT USED parameter is set to 60 and the TBS
PERCENT FREE parameter is set to 20.
Which two storage-tiering actions might be automated when using information
Lifecycle Management (ILM) to
automate data movement? (Choose two.)
A. The movement of all segments to a target tablespace with a higher degree of
compression, on a different storage tier,
when the source tablespace exceeds TBS PERCENT USED
B. Setting the target tablespace to read-only
C. The movement of some segments to a target tablespace with a higher degree of
compression, on a different storage
tier, when the source tablespace exceeds TBS PERCENT USED D. Setting the target
tablespace offline
E. The movement of some blocks to a target tablespace with a lower degree of
compression, on a different storage tier,
when the source tablespace exceeds TBS PERCENT USED
Answer: B C
Explanation
The value for TBS_PERCENT_USED specifies the percentage of the tablespace
quota when a tablespace is considered
full. The value for TBS_PERCENT_FREE specifies the targeted free percentage for
the tablespace. When the percentage
of the tablespace quota reaches the value of TBS_PERCENT_USED, ADO begins to
move data so that percent free of
the tablespace quota approaches the value of TBS_PERCENT_FREE. This action by
ADO is a best effort and not a
guarantee.
QUESTION 150
Which two statements are true about Oracle Data Pump export and import operations?
(Choose two.)
A. You can detach from a data pump export job and reattach later.
B. Data pump uses parallel execution server processes to implement parallel import.
C. Data pump import requires the import file to be in a directory owned by the oracle
owner.
D. The master table is the last object to be exported by the data pump.
E. You can detach from a data pump import job and reattach later.
Answer: A B
Explanation
B: Data Pump can employ multiple worker processes, running in parallel, to increase
job performance.
D: For export jobs, the master table records the location of database objects within a
dump file set. / Export builds and
maintains the master table for the duration of the job. At the end of an export job, the
content of the master table is
written to a file in the dump file set.
/ For import jobs, the master table is loaded from the dump file set and is used to
control the sequence of operations for
locating objects that need to be imported into the target database.

C. The results of the ADDM analysis are stored in the Automatic Workload
Repository (AWR) D. The ADDM analysis provides only diagnostics information but
does not provide recommendations
E. The ADDM calls other advisors if required, but does not provide recommendations
about the advisors
Answer: B C
QUESTION 153
A warehouse fact table in your Oracle 12c Database is range-partitioned by month
and accessed frequently with queries
that span multiple partitions
The table has a local prefixed, range partitioned index.
Some of these queries access very few rows in some partitions and all the rows in
other partitions, but these queries still
perform a full scan for all accessed partitions.
This commonly occurs when the range of dates begins at the end of a month or ends
close to the start of a month.
You want an execution plan to be generated that uses indexed access when only a few
rows are accessed from a segment,
while still allowing full scans for segments where many rows are returned.
Which three methods could transparently help to achieve this result? (Choose three.)
A. Using a partial local Index on the warehouse fact table month column with
indexing disabled to the table partitions
that return most of their rows to the queries.
B. Using a partial local Index on the warehouse fact table month column with
indexing disabled for the table partitions
that return a few rows to the queries.
C. Using a partitioned view that does a UNION ALL query on the partitions of the
warehouse fact table, which retains
the existing local partitioned column.
D. Converting the partitioned table to a partitioned view that does a UNION ALL
query on the monthly tables, which
retains the existing local partitioned column.
E. Using a partial global index on the warehouse fact table month column with
indexing disabling for the table partitions
that return most of their rows to the queries.
F. Using a partial global index on the warehouse fact table month column with
indexing disabled for the table partitions
that return a few rows to the queries.
Answer: A C E
Explanation
Note:
* Oracle 12c now provides the ability to index a subset of partitions and to exclude
the others.
Local and global indexes can now be created on a subset of the partitions of a table.
Partial Global indexes provide more flexibility in index creation for partitioned tables.
For example, index segments can be omitted for the most recent partitions to ensure
maximum data ingest rates without impacting the overall data model and access for
the partitioned object.
Partial Global Indexes save space and improve performance during loads and queries.
This feature supports global indexes that include or index a certain subset of table
partitions or subpartitions, and exclude the others. This operation is
supported using a default table indexing property. When a table is created or altered, a
default indexing property can be specified for the table or its partitions.

QUESTION 158
Your multitenant container database (CDB) contains pluggable databases (PDBs), you
are connected to the HR_PDB.
You execute the following command:
SQL > CREATE UNDO TABLESPACE undotb01
DATAFILE ‘u01/oracle/rddb1/undotbs01.dbf’ SIZE 60M AUTOEXTEND ON;
What is the result?
A. It executes successfully and creates an UNDO tablespace in HR_PDB.
B. It falls and reports an error because there can be only one undo tablespace in a
CDB.
C. It fails and reports an error because the CONTAINER=ALL clause is not specified
in the command.
D. It fails and reports an error because the CONTAINER=CURRENT clause is not
specified in the command.
E. It executes successfully but neither tablespace nor the data file is created.
Answer: E
Explanation
Interesting behavior in 12.1.0.1 DB of creating an undo tablespace in a PDB. With the
new Multitenant architecture the
undo tablespace resides at the CDB level and PDBs all share the same UNDO
tablespace.
When the current container is a PDB, an attempt to create an undo tablespace fails
without returning an error.
QUESTION 159
Which three statements are true about the working of system privileges in a
multitenant control database (CDB) that has
pluggable databases (PDBs)? (Choose three.)
A. System privileges apply only to the PDB in which they are used.
B. Local users cannot use local system privileges on the schema of a common user.
C. The granter of system privileges must possess the set container privilege.
D. Common users connected to a PDB can exercise privileges across other PDBs.
E. System privileges with the with grant option container all clause must be granted to
a common user before the
common user can grant privileges to other users.
Answer: A C E
Explanation
A, Not D: In a CDB, PUBLIC is a common role. In a PDB, privileges granted locally
to PUBLIC enable alllocal and common users to exercise these privileges in this PDB
only.
C: A user can only perform common operations on a common role, for example,
granting privileges commonly to the
role, when the following criteria are met:
The user is a common user whose current container is root.
The user has the SET CONTAINER privilege granted commonly, which means that
the privilege applies in all
containers.
The user has privilege controlling the ability to perform the specified operation, and
this privilege has been granted
commonly
Incorrect:
Note:
* Every privilege and role granted to Oracle-supplied users and roles is granted
commonly except for system privileges
granted to PUBLIC, which are granted locally.
QUESTION 160
You have altered a non-unique index to be invisible to determine if queries execute
within an acceptable response time
without using this index.
Which two are possible if table updates are performed which affect the invisible index
columns? (Choose two.)
A. The index remains invisible.
B. The index is not updated by the DML statements on the indexed table.
C. The index automatically becomes visible in order to have it updated by DML on
the table.
D. The index becomes unusable but the table is updated by the DML.
E. The index is updated by the DML on the table.
Answer: A E
Explanation
Unlike unusable indexes, an invisible index is maintained during DML statements.
Note:
* Oracle 11g allows indexes to be marked as invisible. Invisible indexes are
maintained like any other index, but they are
ignored by the optimizer unless the OPTIMIZER_USE_INVISIBLE_INDEXES
parameter is set to TRUE at the
instance or session level. Indexes can be created as invisible by using the INVISIBLE
keyword, and their visibility can
be toggled using the ALTER INDEX command.

QUESTION 167
Identify three benefits of Unified Auditing.
A. Decreased use of storage to store audit trail rows in the database.
B. It improves overall auditing performance.
C. It guarantees zero-loss auditing.
D. The audit trail cannot be easily modified because it is read-only.
E. It automatically audits Recovery Manager (RMAN) events.
Answer: A B E
Explanation
A: Starting with 12c, Oracle has unified all of the auditing types into one single unit
called Unified auditing. You don’t
have to turn on or off all of the different auidting types individually and as a matter of
fact auditing is enabled by default
right out of the box. The AUD$ and FGA$ tables have been replaced with one single
audit trail table. All of the audit
data is now stored in Secure Files table thus improving the overall management
aspects of audit data itself.
B: Further the audit data can also be buffered solving most of the common
performance related problems seen on busy
environments.
E: Unified Auditing is able to collect audit data for Fine Grained Audit, RMAN, Data
Pump, Label Security, Database
Vault and Real Application Security operations.
Note:
* Benefits of the Unified Audit Trail The benefits of a unified audit trail are many:
/ (B) Overall auditing performance is greatly improved. The default mode that unified
audit works is Queued Write mode.
In this mode, the audit records are batched in SGA queue and is persisted in a periodic
way. Because the audit records
are written to SGA queue, there is a significant performance improvement.
/ The unified auditing functionality is always enabled and does not depend on the
initialization parameters that were used
in previous releases
/ (A) The audit records, including records from the SYS audit trail, for all the audited
components of your Oracle
Database installation are placed in one location and in one format, rather than your
having to look in different places to
find audit trails in varying formats. This consolidated view enables auditors to
co-relate audit information from different
components. For example, if an error occurred during an INSERT statement, standard
auditing can indicate the error
number and the SQL that was executed. Oracle Database Vault-specific information
can indicate whether this error
happened because of a command rule violation or realm violation. Note that there will
be two audit records with a
distinct AUDIT_TYPE. With this unification in place, SYS audit records appear with
AUDIT_TYPE set to Standard
Audit.
/ The management and security of the audit trail is also improved by having it in
single audit trail.
/ You can create named audit policies that enable you to audit the supported
components listed at the beginning of this
section, as well as SYS administrative users. Furthermore, you can build conditions
and exclusions into your policies.
* Oracle Database 12c Unified Auditing enables selective and effective auditing
inside the Oracle database using policies
and conditions. The new policy based syntax simplifies management of auditing
within the database and provides the
ability to accelerate auditing based on conditions.
* The new architecture unifies the existing audit trails into a single audit trail,
enabling simplified management and
increasing the security of audit data generated by the database.
QUESTION 168
You enabled an audit policy by issuing the following statements:
SQL> AUDIT POLICY ORA_DATABASE_PARAMETER BY SCOTT;

(Choose three.)
A. Reduced logical I/O
B. Reduced virtual memory utilization
C. Improved parallel Execution performance
D. Improved Serial Execution performance
E. Reduced physical I/O
F. Reduced CPU utilization
Answer: B C F
Explanation
* Multiprocess and Multithreaded Oracle Database Systems
Multiprocess Oracle Database (also called multiuser Oracle Database) uses several
processes to run different parts of the
Oracle Database code and additional Oracle processes for the users—either one
process for each connected user or one
or more processes shared by multiple users. Most databases are multiuser because a
primary advantage of a database is
managing data needed by multiple users simultaneously.
Each process in a database instance performs a specific job. By dividing the work of
the database and applications into
several processes, multiple users and applications can connect to an instance
simultaneously while the system gives good
performance.
* In previous releases, Oracle processes did not run as threads on UNIX and Linux
systems. Starting in Oracle Database
12c, the multithreaded Oracle Database model enables Oracle processes to execute as
operating system threads in
separate address spaces.
QUESTION 175
In order to exploit some new storage tiers that have been provisioned by a storage
administrator, the partitions of a large
heap table must be moved to other tablespaces in your Oracle 12c database?
Both local and global partitioned B-tree Indexes are defined on the table.
A high volume of transactions access the table during the day and a medium volume
of transactions access it at night and during weekends.
Minimal disrupt ion to availability is required.
Which three statements are true about this requirement? (Choose three.)
A. The partitions can be moved online to new tablespaces. B. Global indexes must be
rebuilt manually after moving the partitions.
C. The partitions can be compressed in the same tablespaces.
D. The partitions can be compressed in the new tablespaces.
E. Local indexes must be rebuilt manually after moving the partitions.
Answer: A C D
Explanation
A: You can create and rebuild indexes online. Therefore, you can update base tables
at the same time you are building or
rebuilding indexes on that table. You can perform DML operations while the index
build is taking place, but DDL
operations are not allowed. Parallel execution is not supported when creating or
rebuilding an index online.
D: Moving (Rebuilding) Index-Organized Tables
Because index-organized tables are primarily stored in a B-tree index, you can
encounter fragmentation as a consequence
of incremental updates. However, you can use the ALTER TABLE...MOVE
statement to rebuild the index and reduce
this fragmentation.
C: If a table can be compressed in the new tablespace, also it can be compressed in the
same tablespace.
Incorrect:
Not B, not E: Local and Global indexes can be automatically rebuild with UPDATE
INDEXES when you move the table.
QUESTION 176
You use multiple temporary tables frequently in your database. Which two are
benefits of configuring temporary undo?
(Choose two.)
A. Performance improves because less redo is written to the redo log.
B. Temporary undo reduces the amount of undo stored in undo tablespaces.
C. Performance improves because data manipulation language (DML) operations
performed on temporary tables do not
use the buffer cache.
D. Performance improves because no redo and undo are generated for the temporary
tables.
Answer: A B
QUESTION 177
Which three statements are true about Flashback Database? (Choose three.)
A. Flashback logs are written sequentially, and are archived.
B. Flashback Database uses a restored control file to recover a database.
C. The Oracle database automatically creates, deletes, and resides flashback logs in
the Fast Recovery Area.
D. Flashback Database can recover a database to the state that it was in before a reset
logs operation.
E. Flashback Database can recover a data file that was dropped during the span of
time of the flashback.
F. Flashback logs are used to restore to the blocks' before images, and then the redo
data may be used to roll forward to
the desired flashback time.
Answer: C D F
QUESTION 178

QUESTION 182
Your database has the SRV1 service configured for an application that runs on
middle-tier application server. The
application has multiple modules. You enable tracing at the service level by executing
the following command:
SQL > exec DBMS_MONITOR.SERV_MOD_ACT_TRACE_ENABLE (‘SRV1’);
The possible outcome and actions to aggregate the trace files are as follows:
1. The command fails because a module name is not specified.
2. A trace file is created for each session that is running the SRV1 service.
3. An aggregated trace file is created for all the sessions that are running the SRV1
service.
4. The trace files may be aggregated by using the trcess utility.
5. The trace files be aggregated by using the tkprof utility.
Identify the correct outcome and the step to aggregate by using tkprof utility?
A. 1
B. 2 and 4
C. 2 and 5
D. 3 and 4
E. 3 and 5
Answer: B
Explanation
Tracing information is present in multiple trace files and you must use the trcsess tool
to collect it into a single file.
Incorrect:
Not 1: Parameter service_name
Name of the service for which tracing is enabled. module_name
Name of the MODULE. An optional additional qualifier for the service. Note:
* The procedure enables a trace for a given combination of Service, MODULE and
ACTION name. The specification is
strictly hierarchical: Service Name or Service Name/MODULE, or Service Name,
MODULE, and ACTION name must
be specified. Omitting a qualifier behaves like a wild-card, so that not specifying an
ACTION means all ACTIONs.
Using the ALL_ACTIONS constant achieves the same purpose.
* SERV_MOD_ACT_TRACE_ENABLE Procedure This procedure will enable SQL
tracing for a given combination of Service Name, MODULE and ACTION globally
unless an instance_name is specified.
* DBMS_MONITOR.SERV_MOD_ACT_TRACE_ENABLE( service_name IN
VARCHAR2,
module_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ANY_MODULE, action_name IN
VARCHAR2 DEFAULT
ANY_ACTION, waits IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE,
binds IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
instance_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);

QUESTION 196
On your Oracle Database, you issue the following commands to create indexes:
SQL > CREATE INDEX oe.ord_customer_ix1 ON oe.orders (customer_id,
sales_rep_id) INVISIBLE;
SQL> CREATE BITMAP INDEX oe.ord_customer_ix2 ON oe.orders (customer_id,
sales_rep_id);
Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)
A. Only the ORD_CUSTOMER_IX1 index created.
B. Both the indexes are updated when a row is inserted, updated, or deleted in the
ORDERS table.
C. Both the indexes are created: however, only ORD_CUSTOMERS_IX1 is used by
the optimizer for queries on the
ORDERS table.
D. The ORD_CUSTOMER_IX1 index is not used by the optimizer even when the
OPTIMIZER_USE_INVISIBLE_INDEXES parameters is set to true.
E. Both the indexes are created and used by the optimizer for queries on the ORDERS
table.
F. Both the indexes are created: however, only ORD_CUSTOMERS_IX2 is used by
the optimizer for queries on the ORDERS table.
Answer: B F
Explanation
Not A: Both indexes are created fine.
B: The invisible index ORD_CUSTOMERS_IX1 and the bitmap index are both
updated by DML operations on the
Orders table.
F: Since ORD_CUSTOMERS_IX1 is invisible only ORD_CUSTOMERS_IX2 is
used by the query optimizer.
Not C, Not D, Not E:
* ord_customer_ix1 is an invisible index and is therefore not used by the optimizer.
* VISIBLE | INVISIBLE Use this clause to specify whether the index is visible or
invisible to the optimizer. An
invisible index is maintained by DML operations, but it is not be used by the
optimizer during queries unless you
explicitly set the parameter OPTIMIZER_USE_INVISIBLE_INDEXES to TRUE at
the session or system level.
Note: Specify BITMAP to indicate that index is to be created with a bitmap for each
distinct key, rather than indexing
each row separately. Bitmap indexes store the rowids associated with a key value as a
bitmap. Each bit in the bitmap
corresponds to a possible rowid. If the bit is set, then it means that the row with the
corresponding rowid contains the key
value. The internal representation of bitmaps is best suited for applications with low
levels of concurrent transactions,
such as data warehousing.

B. Drop partitions of a list partitioned table C. Coalesce partitions of a
hash-partitioned global index.
D. Move partitions of a range-partitioned table
E. Rename partitions of a range partitioned table
F. Merge partitions of a reference partitioned index
Answer: A B F
Explanation
Multipartition maintenance enables adding, dropping, truncate, merge, split operations
on multiple partitions.
A: Merge Multiple Partitions:
The new “ALTER TABLE … MERGE PARTITIONS ” help merge multiple
partitions or subpartitions with a single
statement. When merging multiple partitions, local and global index operations and
semantics for inheritance of
unspecified physical attributes are the same for merging two partitions.
B: Drop Multiple Partitions:
The new “ALTER TABLE … DROP PARTITIONS ” help drop multiple partitions or
subpartitions with a single statement.
Example:
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
SQL> ALTER TABLE Tab_tst1 DROP PARTITIONS
Tab_tst1_PART5, Tab_tst1_PART6, Tab_tst1_PART7;
Table altered

The alert log is a chronological log of messages and errors, and includes the following
items:
*All internal errors (ORA-600), block corruption errors (ORA-1578), and deadlock
errors (ORA-60) that occur
* Administrative operations, such as CREATE, ALTER, and DROP statements and
STARTUP, SHUTDOWN, and
ARCHIVELOG statements
* Messages and errors relating to the functions of shared server and dispatcher
processes
* Errors occurring during the automatic refresh of a materialized view
* The values of all initialization parameters that had nondefault values at the time the
database and instance start
Note:
* The alert log file (also referred to as the ALERT.LOG) is a chronological log of
messages and errors written out by an
Oracle Database. Typical messages found in this file is: database startup, shutdown,
log switches, space errors, etc. This
file should constantly be monitored to detect unexpected messages and corruptions.
QUESTION 210
Your multitenant container database has three pluggable databases (PDBs): PDB1,
PDB2, and PDB3.
Which two RMAN commands may be; used to back up only the PDB1 pluggable
database? (Choose two.)
A. BACKUP PLUGGABLE DATABASE PDB1 while connected to the root
container
B. BACKUP PLUGGABLE DATABASE PDB1 while connected to the PDB1
container
C. BACKUP DATABASE while connected to the PDB1 container
D. BACKUP DATABASE while connected to the boot container
E. BACKUP PLUGGABLE database PDB1 while connected to PDB2
Answer: A C
Explanation
To perform operations on a single PDB, you can connect as target either to the root or
directly to the PDB.
* (A) If you connect to the root, you must use the PLUGGABLE DATABASE syntax
in your RMAN commands. For
example, to back up a PDB, you use the BACKUP PLUGGABLE DATABASE
command.
* (C)If instead you connect directly to a PDB, you can use the same commands that
you would use when connecting to a
non-CDB. For example, to back up a PDB, you would use the BACKUP
DATABASE command.
