  1. True

  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Sun Oracle Database Machine specifically requires Oracle Database 11g Release 2 - earlier versions of 11g are not supported on this platform. The machine is engineered to work with the specific capabilities and optimizations introduced in 11gR2. Attempting to deploy earlier versions would not be supported or functional.

AI explanation

The Sun Oracle Database Machine (Exadata) certification and value proposition were tied specifically to Oracle Database 11gR2's feature set (like Smart Scan and Hybrid Columnar Compression working with Exadata storage cells). Earlier 11g releases lacked the integration and certification needed to run on that hardware, so they could not be deployed on it. This is why the statement is false.
