Which three statements represent the benefits of multitenant architecture for database
consolidation?
A. You can unplug a PDB from a development CDB and plug it into a production CDB,
which allows for easier and more rapid movement of data and code.
B. You can consolidate shared database memory by combining multiple PDBs in a single
CDB.
C. Patching individual PDBs requires the same amount of time as patching individual
databases.
D. Consolidating separate databases into a single CDB requires the same amount of
storage allocation.
E. In multitenant architecture, a PDB behaves the same as a non-CDB as seen from a
client connecting with Oracle Net. No client modification is required.
Answer: A,B,E
Explanation: By design, you can quickly plug a PDB into a CDB, unplug the PDB from the
CDB, and then plug this PDB into a different CDB. The implementation technique for
plugging and unplugging is similar to the transportable tablespace technique.
A PDB is a portable collection of schemas, schema objects, and nonschema objects that
appears to an Oracle Net client as a non-CDB. All Oracle databases before Oracle
Database 12c were non-CDBs.

Examine the output:
SQL> SELECT index_name, status FROM dba_indexes WHEREstatus='UNUSABLE;
INDEX_NAME STATUS
--------------------- -----------------
EIND UNUSABLE
Which two statements about this index are true?
A. It is ignored by the query optimizer.

B. It is not used while the index is being rebuilt.
C. The index cannot be rebuilt, and has to be re-created.
D. The index is automatically rebuilt when used the next time.
Answer: A,B
Explanation: * Oracle indexes can go into a UNUSABLE state after maintenance
operation on the table or if the index is marked as 'unusable' with an ALTER INDEX
command. A direct path load against a table or partition will also leave its indexes
unusable.
Queries and other operations agains a table with unuable indexes will generate errors:
ORA-01502: index string.string or partition of such index is in unusable state
* The following SQL will print out a list of alter commands that can be executed to fix
unusable indexes:
Indexes:
SELECT 'alter index '||index_name||' rebuild tablespace '||tablespace_name ||';'
FROM dba_indexes
WHERE status = 'UNUSABLE';

Which three statements represent the difference between a container database (CDB)and
a non-container database?
A. A container database has exactly one seed PDB, and a non-container database has no
seed PDB.
B. In a newly created non-CDB that does not yet contain user data, the data dictionary
contains only system metadata. When application users create their own objects, this
metadata is mixed with the system metadata. In a CDB, the data dictionary metadata is
split between the root and the PDBs. The data dictionary in the PDB contains pointers to
the data dictionary in the root.
C. New views are introduced. Next to DBA_views, AIL_-views, and USER_-views, there
are CDB_-views. Both CDB and non-CDB databases can access this information.
D. You are allowed to create only a single HR user in a non-CDB database. This restriction
is identical for a CDB database.
E. Every PDB in a CDB has its own control file. A non-CDB, which has no containers,
needs only one control file.

fashion.
E. It supports multi master and bidirectional replication architectures where there are
multiple databases that all contain the same data, even if they are not synchronized.
Answer: E
Question No : 37
Why does performance degrade when many UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETEstatements

are issued on a table that has an associated bitmap index?

A. The DML operations re-create the bitmap index blocks.
B. The bitmap index is rebuilt automatically after a DML operation.
C. The smallest amount of a bitmap that can be locked is a bitmap segment.
D. Additional time is taken to remove NULL values from the bitmap index alter a DML
operation.
Answer: C
Explanation: Bitmap indexes in currently supported versions of Oracle are maintained in
a much more efficient manner than they were previously, to the point where the need for
frequently rebuilds has been much reduced, even in tables in which such indexes are not
dropped during heavy loads.
That said, Bitmap indexes are still unsuitable in OLTP type environments (even in 11g or
later) due to the locking implications associated with them.
Note: bitmap indexes are only suitable for static tables and materialized views which are
updated at nigh and rebuilt after batch row loading.
Not B: Like b-tree indexes, bitmap indexes should be rebuilt (ALTER INDEX . . . REBUILD)
if there is a lot of DML (UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE) activity.
Not A: Since 10g, Oracle is significantly more efficient and where possible will simply adjust
the current rowid range of the Bitmap index entry and modify the bitmap string accordingly
to accommodate a new row value (resulting in an overall increase of just 2 bytes overall in
this example) rather than create a totally new index entry (which required an additional 21
bytes in the 9i example).
Question No : 38
Which two statements about Data Recovery Advisor are true?
A. Data Recovery Advisor can be used to diagnose and repair data corruptions in non-
CDBs.
B. Data Recovery Advisor cannot be used to diagnose and repair data corruptions in the
root of a CDB.
C. Data Recovery Advisor can be used to diagnose and repair data corruptions in PDBs.
D. You can use the ADVISE FAILURE command to display repair options after running
LIST FAILURE in an RMAN session.

Answer: A,D
Explanation: A (not B): In the current release, Data Recovery Advisor can only be used to
diagnose and repair data corruptions in non-CDBs and the root of a multitenant container
database (CDB).
Not C: Data Recovery Advisor is not supported for pluggable databases (PDBs).
D: A failure is detected either automatically by the database or through a manual check

such as the VALIDATE command. You can use the LIST FAILURE command to view
problem statements for failures and the effect of these failures on database operations.
Each failure is uniquely identified by a failure number. In the same RMAN session, you can
then use the ADVISE FAILURE command to view repair options, which typically include
both automated and manual options.

Which three statements are true about terminating a session?
A. Without any error, you can terminate the active session by executing:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '7, 15';
B. You can terminate the active session by executing:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION "7, 15';
But you also get the error message:
ORA-00028: your session has been killed
C. You cannot terminate the active session. You have to wait until that session becomes
inactive.
D. Without any error, you can terminate the inactive session by executing:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '12, 63';
E. When an inactive session is killed, the status of that session remains visible in
VSSESSION with status KILLED. The rowf the terminated session is removed from
VSSESSION after the user attempts to use the session again.
F. You cannot terminate the inactive session. You have to wait until that session becomes

active again.
Answer: B,D,E
Explanation: B (not A, Not C):
* You terminate a current session using the SQL statement ALTER SYSTEM KILL
SESSION. The following statement terminates the session whose system identifier is 7 and
serial number is 15:
* Terminating an Active Session
If a user session is processing a transaction (ACTIVE status) when you terminate the
session, the transaction is rolled back and the user immediately receives the following
message:
ORA-00028: your session has been killed
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '7,15';
E (not F): Terminating an Inactive Session
If the session is not making a SQL call to Oracle Database (is INACTIVE) when it is
terminated, the ORA-00028 message is not returned immediately. The message is not
returned until the user subsequently attempts to use the terminated session.
When an inactive session has been terminated, the STATUS of the session in the
V$SESSION view is KILLED. The row for the terminated session is removed from
V$SESSION after the user attempts to use the session again and receives the ORA-00028
message.

be connected to the database with administrator privileges (AS SYSDBA).
The following steps switch the database archiving mode from NOARCHIVELOG to
ARCHIVELOG:
1.Shut down the database instance

2.Back up the database.
3.Edit the initialization parameter file to include the initialization parameters that specify the
destinations for the archived redo log files
4.Start a new instance and mount, but do not open, the database.
STARTUP MOUNT
To enable or disable archiving, the database must be mounted but not open.

5.Change the database archiving mode. Then open the database for normal operations.
ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;

ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
6.Shut down the database.

B. It securely manages encryption keys.
C. It protects against theft or loss of disks and backups.
D. It prevents OS users from inspecting tablespace files.
E. It limits the exposure of sensitive data in applications.
F. It alters data in caches, buffers, and persistent storage.
G. It impacts operational activities such as backup & restore, upgrade & patch, and
replication.
Answer: E
Explanation: Redacting Sensitive Data for Display
Data Redaction provides selective, on-the-fly redaction of sensitive data in query results
prior
to display by applications so that unauthorized users cannot view the sensitive data. It
enables
consistent redaction of database columns across application modules accessing the same
data.
Data Redaction minimizes changes to applications because it does not alter actual data in
internal database buffers, caches, or storage, and it preserves the original data type and
formatting when transformed data is returned to the application. Data Redaction has no
impact on database operational activities such as backup and restore, upgrade and patch,
and
high availability clusters.

Answer: A

Explanation: * Example, Basic Format of tnsnames.ora File
net_service_name=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(protocol_address_information))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=service_name)))
* This tnsnames.ora file is a configuration file that contains net service names mapped to
connect descriptors for the local naming method, or net service names mapped to listener
protocol addresses.
A net service name is an alias mapped to a database network address contained in a

connect descriptor. A connect descriptor contains the location of the listener through a
protocol address and the service name of the database to which to connect. Clients and
database servers (that are clients of other database servers) use the net service name
when making a connection with an application.

Answer: B,D
Explanation: B: A NOT NULL constraint is put on the primary key.
D:
* To enable a unique or primary key constraint, you must have the privileges necessary to
create an index on the table. You need these privileges because Oracle Database creates
an index on the columns of the unique or primary key in the schema containing the table.
* TABLESPACE Specify the tablespace in which Oracle Database creates the table, object
table OIDINDEX, partition, LOB data segment, LOB index segment, or index-organized
table overflow data segment. If you omit TABLESPACE, then the database creates that
item in the default tablespace of the owner of the schema containing the table.
