41. Which three statements are true about adaptive SQL plan management?
It automatically performs verification or evolves non-accepted plans, in COMPREHENSIVE mode when they perform

52. Which two statements are true concerning the Resource Manager plans for individual pluggable databases (PDB
plans) in a multitenant container database (CDB)?

Merge partitions of a list partitioned table; drop partitions of a list partitioned table; merge partitions of a reference
partitioned index.
76. You are connected using SQL*Plus to a multitenant container database with SYSDBA privileges and execute the

 The valid time columns employee_time_start and employee_time_end are automatically created. The same
statement may filter on both transaction time and valid temporal time by using the AS OF TIMESTAMP and PERIOD
FOR clauses. Setting the session valid time using DBMS_FLASHBACK_ARCHIVE.ENABLE_AT_VALID_TIME sets the
visibility for DML, DDL, and queries performed by the session.

To perform an incremental level 1 cumulative backup, you issued this command:
RMAN > BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE DATABASE;
Which three statements are true?
Block change tracking will always reduce I/O performed during cumulative incremental backups. More than one
database block may be read by an incremental backup for a change made to a single block. The incremental level 1
backup that immediately follows the enabling of block change tracking will not read the change tracking file to
discover changed blocks.
87. You find this query being used in your Oracle 12c database:

queries that span multiple partitions. The table has a local prefixed, range partitioned index. Some of these queries

that return a few rows to the queries. 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. Using a partial global index on the

columns?
The index remains invisible. The index is updated by the DML on the table.
174. In your multitenant container database (CDB) containing same pluggable databases (PDBs), you execute the following
commands in the root container:
 Which two statements are true?
The C # # ROLE1 role is created in the root database and all the PDBs. Privileges are granted to the C##A_ADMIN user
only in the root database.
175. The persistent configuration settings for RMAN have default for all parameters. Identify four RMAN commands that
produce a multi-section backup.
BACKUP TABLESPACE SYSTEM SECTION SIZE 100M; BACKUP AS COPY TABLESPACE SYSTEM SECTION SIZE 100M;
BACKUP TABLESPACE "UNDO" INCLUDE CURRENT CONTROLFILE SECTION SIZE 100M; BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL
0 TABLESPACE SYSAUX SECTION SIZE 100M;
176. The following parameter are set for your Oracle 12c database instance:
OPTIMIZER_CAPTURE_SQL_PLAN_BASELINES=FALSE
OPTIMIZER_USE_SQL_PLAN_BASELINES=TRUE
You want to manage the SQL plan evolution task manually. Examine the following steps:
1. Set the evolve task parameters.
2. Create the evolve task by using the DBMS_SPM.CREATE_EVOLVE_TASK function.
3. Implement the recommendations in the task by using the
DBMS_SPM.IMPLEMENT_EVOLVE_TASK function.
4. Execute the evolve task by using the DBMS_SPM.EXECUTE_EVOLVE_TASK function.
5. Report the task outcome by using the DBMS_SPM.REPORT_EVOLVE_TASK function.
Identify the correct sequence of steps:
2, 1, 4, 3, 5
177. 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?
Using Automatic Segment Space Management (ASSM)
178. 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?
Any existing statistics for the CUSTOMERS table are still available to the optimizer at parse time. Statistics gathered
on the CUSTOMERS table when schema stats are gathered are stored as pending statistics. Statistics gathered on
the CUSTOMERS table when database stats are gathered are stored as pending statistics.
179. Examine the following impdp command to import a database over the network from a pre-12c Oracle database
(source):

Which three are prerequisites for successful execution of the command?

The import operation must be performed by a user on the target database with the
DATAPUMP_IMP_FULL_DATABASE role, and the database link must connect to a user on the source database with
the DATAPUMP_EXD_FULL_DATABASE role. All the user-defined tablespaces must be in read-only mode on the
source database. The source and target database must be running on the same platform with the same endianness.
180. Which two are true concerning a multitenant container database with three pluggable database?
The pluggable databases are patched together. Pluggable databases are only used for database consolidation.
181. 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?
It fails because an increase in DB_8K_CACHE_SIZE cannot be accommodated within SGA_MAX_SIZE.
182. Which three statements are true concerning unplugging a pluggable database (PDB)?
The PDB must be closed. The unplugged PDB can be plugged into the same multitenant container database (CDB).
The unplugged PDB can be plugged into another CDB.
183. 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?
The %ROWTYPE attribute declarations in PL/SQL to access a row will not display the invisible column in the output.
The DESCRIBE commands in SQL *Plus will not display the invisible column in the output. A primary key constraint
can be added on the invisible column.
