Question 1Skipped

Which two statements are true about User Authentication in an Oracle

Database? (Choose two.)

Overall explanation
Explanation

This question is about system privileges accounts, the account which come
built-in with the database like SYS, SYSTEM, DBSNMP etc.

Password authentication must be used for system-privileged administrative

users – False – this is optional, not must. For example, if
REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to None, privileged users must be
authenticated by the operating system.
Read here - REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE

Password File authentication must be used for system-privileged

administrative users. – False – this is optional, not must.

Operating System authentication may be used for system-privileged

administrative users. –True - If REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE is set to
None, privileged users must be authenticated by the operating system.

Password File authentication is supported for any type of database user. –

False – Supported only for users having system privileges like SYSDBA,
SYSOPER etc.

REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE must be set to exclusive to permit password

changes for system-privileged administrative users – True

Question 3Skipped
Which two queries execute successfully? (Choose two.)
Overall explanation
Explanation

SELECT NULLIF(NULL, 100) FROM DUAL; - Error – ORA-00932: inconsistent

datatypes: expected - got CHAR

SELECT NULLIF(100, 'A') FROM DUAL; - Error – ORA-00932: inconsistent

datatypes: expected - got CHAR

SELECT COALESCE(100, 'A') FROM DUAL; - Error – ORA-00932: inconsistent

datatypes: expected - got CHAR

SELECT COALESCE(100, NULL, 200) FROM DUAL; - Success – Output is 100

SELECT NULLIF(100, 100) FROM DUAL; - Success – Output is NULL

NULLIF compares expr1 and expr2. If they are equal, then the function
returns null. If they are not equal, then the function returns expr1. You
cannot specify the literal NULL for expr1.

If both arguments are numeric data types, then Oracle Database determines
the argument with the higher numeric precedence, implicitly converts the
other argument to that data type, and returns that data type. If the
arguments are not numeric, then they must be of the same data type, or
Oracle returns an error.

Read here - NULLIF

COALESCE returns the first non-null expr in the expression list. You must
specify at least two expressions. If all occurrences of expr evaluate to null,
then the function returns null.

Question 5Skipped
Which three statements are true about data block storage in an Oracle
Database? (Choose three.)

Overall explanation
Explanation

An index block can contain row data. – True – IOT Index blocks can have row
data.

An index-organized table is a table stored in a variation of a B-tree index

structure. In contrast, a heap-organized table inserts rows where they fit.
In an index-organized table, rows are stored in an index defined on the
primary key for the table. Each index entry in the B-tree also stores the non-
key column values. Thus, the index is the data, and the data is the index.
Applications manipulate index-organized tables just like heap-organized
tables, using SQL statements.

Read here – Overview of Index-Organized Tables

Row data is stored starting at the end of the block. – True – Writing of data
starts from the bottom towards up.

As the database fills a data block from the bottom up, the amount of free
space between the row data and the block header decreases.

Read here – Space Management in Data Blocks

A block header contains a row directory pointing to all rows in the block. –
True – Block Overhead contains Block header, Table directory, Row directory.
To be noted, although the question mentions "block header", it looks Oracle
is using the terms "block header" and "block overhead" interchangeably.
Strictly speaking, the block overhead and block header are different things.

Question 11Skipped
Which two Oracle database space management features require the use of
locally managed tablespaces? (Choose two.)
Overall explanation
Explanation

Except Online shrink operations, all other actions have no dependency on

DMT or LMT.

Tables with function-based indexes

SECUREFILE LOBs

Tables compressed with the following compression methods:

Basic table compression using ROW STORE COMPRESS BASIC

Warehouse compression using COLUMN STORE COMPRESS FOR QUERY

Archive compression using COLUMN STORE COMPRESS FOR ARCHIVE

However, tables compressed with advanced row compression using ROW

STORE COMPRESS ADVANCED are eligible for online segment shrink. See

Question 16Skipped
Which three statements are true about views in an Oracle database? (Choose
three.)

Overall explanation
You can run CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW to recreate the view without needing
to run the grants again.

You can run CREATE FORCE VIEW to create view on non-existent

tables/columns.

Specify WITH CHECK OPTION to indicate that Oracle Database prohibits any
changes to the table or view that would produce rows that are not included
in the subquery. When used in the subquery of a DML statement, you can
specify this clause in a subquery in the FROM clause but not in subquery in
the WHERE clause.

Read here – WITH CHECK OPTION

Data Manipulation Language (DML) can be used ONLY on simple views.

Notes on Updatable Views

For a view to be inherently updatable, the following conditions must be met:

The view must not contain any of the following constructs:

A set operator

A DISTINCT operator

An aggregate or analytic function

Which two queries will execute successfully? (Choose two.)

Overall explanation
Explanation

SELECT prod_id "CURRENT AVAILABILITY" || q'('s not available)' FROM

product_status WHERE status = 'OUT OF STOCK'; -> It will error out with
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected. The column alias
should be put after the quote literal.
SELECT prod_id q's not available" FROM product_status WHERE status =
'OUT OF STOCK'; -> It will error out with ORA-01756: quoted string not
properly terminated. The literal string started with single quote must be
terminated with single quote only.

SELECT prod_id || q'('s not available)' 'CURRENT AVAILABILITY' FROM

product_status WHERE status = 'OUT OF STOCK'; -> It will error out with
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected. The column alias
must use either nothing or double quotes, not single quotes.

Which three statements are true about performing Data Manipulation
Language (DML) operations on a view with no INSTEAD OF triggers defined?
(Choose three.)

Overall explanation
Explanation
The WITH CHECK clause has no effect when deleting rows from the
underlying table through the view. – True (mostly)

Quoting Oracle Docs:

For a DELETE statement, if the join results in more than one key-preserved
table, then Oracle Database deletes from the first table named in the FROM
clause, whether or not the view was created WITH CHECK OPTION.

Views cannot be used to add or modify rows in an underlying table if the

defining query of the view contains the DISTINCT keyword. – True

Quoting Oracle Docs:

For a view to be inherently updatable, the following conditions must be met:

The view must not contain any of the following constructs:

A DISTINCT operator

Views cannot be used to add rows to an underlying table if the table has
columns with NOT NULL constraints lacking default values which are not
referenced in the defining query of the view. – True

Quoting Oracle Docs:

For you to insert into the table using the view, the view must contain all NOT
NULL columns of all tables in the join, unless you have specified DEFAULT
values for the NOT NULL columns.

Question 35Skipped
You must create a tablespace of non-standard block size in a new file system
and plan to use this command:

The standard block size is 8k but other non-standard block sizes will also be
used.

Which two are requirements for this command to succeed? (Choose two.)
Overall explanation
Explanation

As the file is being created with fixed size, the /u02 file system must have at
least 100g space for the datafile.

DB_32K_CACHE_SIZE is the buffer cache for blocks of 32K size, so it

respective memory must be available in the SGA.

Question 36Skipped
Which three statements are true about indexes and their administration in
an Oracle database? (Choose three.)
Overall explanation
Explanation

An index can be created as part of a CREATE TABLE statement. – True – An

index is created for the primary key if you add the PRIMARY KEY clause in the
CREATE TABLE statement.
If a query filters on an indexed column, then it will always be used during
execution of the query. – False – Depending on the cost of the plan, Oracle
may or not use the indexes.

A descending index is a type of function-based index. – True

Quoting Oracle Docs:

Oracle Database treats descending indexes as if they were function-based

indexes. As with other function-based indexes, the database does not use
descending indexes until you first analyze the index and the table on which
the index is defined. See the column_expression clause of this statement.

A DROP INDEX statement always prevents updates to the table during the
drop operation. – False – DROP Index will not cause any blocking.

A UNIQUE and non-unique index can be created on the same table column. –
True – It is possible as long as a given column is indexed along with other
columns.

An INVISIBLE INDEX is not maintained when Data Manipulation Language

(DML) is performed on its underlying table. – False

Quoting Oracle Docs:

You can create invisible indexes or make an existing index invisible. An

invisible index is ignored by the optimizer unless you explicitly set the
OPTIMIZER_USE_INVISIBLE_INDEXES initialization parameter to TRUE at the
session or system level. Unlike unusable indexes, an invisible index is
maintained during DML statements. Although you can make a partitioned
index invisible, you cannot make an individual index partition invisible while
leaving the other partitions visible.

queries using SET operators such as INTERSECT in a SQL statement?
Overall explanation
Explanation

Specify ORDER BY to order rows within each row pattern partition. Use
column to specify one or more ordering columns. If you specify multiple
columns, then Oracle Database first sorts rows based on their values for the
first column. Rows with the same value for the first column are then sorted
based on their values for the second column, and so on. Oracle Database
sorts nulls following all others in ascending order.

Question 56Skipped
Which three statements are true about the naming methods and their
features supported by Oracle database used to resolve connection
information? (Choose three.)
Overall explanation
The three true statements are:
1. Easy Connect supports TCP/IP and SSL. Easy Connect can be used with
both the TCP/IP and SSL network protocols.
2. Directory Naming can be used if Connect-Time Failover is required.
Directory Naming utilizes ldap.ora and allows configuring multiple
listener endpoints for Connect-Time Failover.
3. A client can connect to an Oracle database instance even if no client
side network admin has been configured. Methods like Easy Connect
and Local Naming eliminate the need for client-side TNS configuration.
The other statements are false:

 Local Naming does not support Connect-Time Failover.

 Directory Naming does not require TNS_ADMIN to be set on clients.
 Local Naming does not need TNS_ADMIN set on clients.

Question 65Skipped
Which two are true about shrinking a segment online? (Choose two.)
Overall explanation
Explanation

The shrink clause lets you manually shrink space in a table, index-organized
table or its overflow segment, index, partition, subpartition, LOB segment,
materialized view, or materialized view log. This clause is valid only for
segments in tablespaces with automatic segment management. By default,
Oracle Database compacts the segment, adjusts the high water mark, and
releases the recuperated space immediately.

Compacting the segment requires row movement. Therefore, you must

enable row movement for the object you want to shrink before specifying
this clause. Further, if your application has any rowid-based triggers, you
should disable them before issuing this clause.
Read here – shrink_clause

Question 66Skipped
Which two statements are true about the configuration and use of
UNDO_RETENTION with GURANTEED RETENTION? (Choose two.)

Overall explanation
Explanation

To guarantee the success of long-running queries or Oracle Flashback

operations, you can enable retention guarantee.

If retention guarantee is enabled, then the specified minimum undo retention

is guaranteed; the database never overwrites unexpired undo data even if it
means that transactions fail due to lack of space in the undo tablespace. If
retention guarantee is not enabled, then the database can overwrite
unexpired undo when space is low, thus lowering the undo retention for the
system. This option is disabled by default.

Read here – Retention Guarantee

Question 67Skipped
Examine the description of the EMPLOYEES table:

NLS_DATE_FORMAT is set to DD-MON-YY.

Which query requires explicit data type conversion?

Overall explanation
Explanation

SELECT join_date FROM employees WHERE join_date > '10-02-2018';

Here, '10-02-2018' is not matching to NLS_DATE_FORMAT of DD-MON-YY, so

the query will fail if explicit to_date is not used on '10-02-2018'.

Question 68Skipped
Which two statements are true about Oracle synonyms? (Choose two.)
Overall explanation
Explanation

Only users having system privilege CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM can create
public synonyms.

A synonym is also an object, so it will have an object number.

A private synonym name has to be unique only within a schema, not across
the database.

You can create synonym for a synonym.

Question 69Skipped

Overall explanation
Explanation

If database is running with spfile, the pfile will not get modified in any
circumstances. Default scope is BOTH (spfile and memory)

Question 70Skipped
Which three statements are true regarding indexes? (Choose three.)
Overall explanation
Explanation

A UNIQUE index can be altered to be non-unique – False – Index must be

recreated.

An update to a table can result in updates to any or all of the table's indexes
– False – It is possible that none of the indexes will be updated. So instead of
"any or all", it should be "none or all".
