What is the benefit of “Virtual Private Catalog” feature in Oracle 11g?
-
Create one catalog database per Database Administrator to share the maintenance workload
-
Restrict SYSDBA and SYSOPER access from Database Administrators and yet allow them to perform database backup and recovery related tasks i.e. Virtualization of the SYSDBA and SYSOPER access
-
Maintain only one database for the RMAN repository catalog yet establish secure boundaries for individual database owners to manage their own virtual repositories
-
Make Oracle 11g database compliant with global Backup and Recovery standards
The Virtual Private Catalog feature allows a single RMAN catalog database to serve multiple database owners while maintaining security boundaries. Each administrator gets a virtual view of only their databases (option C is correct). This avoids the overhead of separate catalog databases. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because VPC doesn't create separate catalogs, restrict SYSDBA access, or relate to compliance standards.
