Identify two tablespaces whose data files are so critical that only a closed recovery is possible?

technology databases

  1. USERS

  2. TOOLS

  3. UNDO

  4. INDEX

  5. SYSTEM

Show answer
Correct Option: C,E
Explanation:

To solve this question, the user needs to know about the concept of tablespaces and recovery methods in Oracle database.

Closed recovery is a type of database recovery method in which all the data files of the database are restored from a backup and then the redo logs are applied to bring the database to a consistent state. Closed recovery is required when the database is in a state of complete failure and no data is available in the memory structures.

Only those tablespaces whose data files are so critical that they cannot be recovered using an open recovery method require a closed recovery.

Now, let's go through each option and identify if it requires a closed recovery or not:

A. USERS: This tablespace contains the user's data. It does not require a closed recovery if it gets damaged because it can be restored using an open recovery method.

B. TOOLS: This tablespace contains the database tools data. It does not require a closed recovery if it gets damaged because it can be restored using an open recovery method.

C. UNDO: This tablespace contains the undo data. It does not require a closed recovery if it gets damaged because it can be restored using an open recovery method.

D. INDEX: This tablespace contains the database index data. It does not require a closed recovery if it gets damaged because it can be restored using an open recovery method.

E. SYSTEM: This tablespace contains the system data. It is critical to the functioning of the database. If its data files are damaged, a closed recovery is required to restore it from a backup.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: E (SYSTEM)

Correct Option: C

You want to perform a backup of your database to a tape. Which backup format can you use?

technology databases

  1. backup set only

  2. image copy only

  3. only user-managed backup

  4. both image copy and backup set

  5. only incremental image copy backup

Show answer
Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the different backup formats used for database backups.

Option A) backup set only - This option is correct because a backup set is a logical backup format that can be written to tape. It includes all the necessary data and metadata to restore the database.

Option B) image copy only - This option is incorrect because an image copy is a physical backup format that cannot be written directly to tape. It is a bit-for-bit copy of the database files and is typically used for faster recovery.

Option C) only user-managed backup - This option is incorrect because it does not specify a specific backup format. User-managed backup refers to the process of manually performing backups, but it does not specify the format.

Option D) both image copy and backup set - This option is incorrect because although both backup sets and image copies are valid backup formats, only the backup set can be used for writing to tape as specified in the question.

Option E) only incremental image copy backup - This option is incorrect because it specifies a specific type of backup (incremental image copy) rather than a format. Incremental backups only copy the changes made since the last backup and do not provide a full backup of the database.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A) backup set only. This option is correct because a backup set is a logical backup format that can be written to tape.

Which background process does Automatic Shared memory Management use to coordinate the sizing of the memory component?

technology databases

  1. PMON

  2. SMON

  3. MMNL

  4. MMAN

  5. MMON

Show answer
Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of Automatic Shared Memory Management (ASMM) and the background processes involved in managing the memory component.

ASMM is a feature in Oracle Database that dynamically manages the size of the System Global Area (SGA) components, such as buffer cache, shared pool, and large pool. It automatically adjusts the sizes of these components based on the workload of the database.

The background process that ASMM uses to coordinate the sizing of the memory component is called Memory Manager (MMAN). The MMAN process is responsible for dynamically managing the memory allocation and deallocation within the SGA.

Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) PMON - The Process Monitor (PMON) process is responsible for process recovery and cleaning up resources when a user process fails. It is not involved in coordinating the sizing of the memory component in ASMM.

Option B) SMON - The System Monitor (SMON) process performs recovery and cleanup operations during database startup and shutdown. It is not involved in coordinating the sizing of the memory component in ASMM.

Option C) MMNL - The Memory Monitor Light (MMNL) process is responsible for monitoring and managing the Automated Maintenance Tasks. It is not involved in coordinating the sizing of the memory component in ASMM.

Option D) MMAN - The Memory Manager (MMAN) process is responsible for coordinating the sizing of the memory component in ASMM. It dynamically manages the allocation and deallocation of memory within the SGA.

Option E) MMON - The Manageability Monitor (MMON) process is responsible for collecting and managing performance data for the Oracle database. It is not directly involved in coordinating the sizing of the memory component in ASMM.

The correct answer is Option D) MMAN. This option is correct because the Memory Manager (MMAN) process is the background process used by ASMM to coordinate the sizing of the memory component.
