Introduction to Oracle Database
This test consists of questions related to Oracle database, which are useful for CS and gate aspirants.
Questions

- The data of the logical database structures physically stores in the datafiles.
- The datafile can be associated with more than one database.
- The data in datafiles is stored in the memory cache of Oracle.
- All of the above
- Both (1) and (3)
Which of the following is/are false about the control files in Oracle database?
- Control files specify the physical structure of the database.
- A control file has information about the name of the database.
- A control file is responsible for identification of the database during database operation.
- A control file can be used for database recovery operation.
- None of the above
Which of the following is/are true about the logical database structures of the Oracle database?
- Tablespaces group related database structures together.
- Data files physically store the data of all logical structures in a tablespace.
- Each database is logically divided into one or more tablespaces.
- All of the above
- Both (1) and (2)
Which of the following is false about data segment in Oracle database?
- The data segment defines the logical structure of the database.
- Each partition has a data segment for a partitioned table in the database.
- Database segments are created when a SQL statement needs temporary database area to complete execution.
- Every table in the cluster stores its data in the cluster's data segment.
- None of the above
Which of the following is not a function related to Redo log files in Oracle database?
- These files can be used to record the changes made in the database.
- Oracle allows a multiplex redo log operation for Redo log files.
- Redo log file contains the information that is used only to recover the database from a system or media failure.
- Redo log file contains the information about the Time stamp of database creation.
- Every Oracle database can have set of two or more Redo log files.
Which of the following is/are true statement(s) about the schema objects in Oracle database?
- Schema objects define the logical structures of the database.
- There is a relationship between a tablespace and a schema.
- The schema objects contain structures like tables, views, and indexes.
- All of the above
- Both (1) and (3)
Which of the following is a false statement about the clusters in Oracle database?
- Clusters can affect application design.
- The data stored in a clustered table is accessed by SQL.
- Clustering is used to order the physical placement of tables on a disk drive.
- Cluster key determines the value of cluster key columns for a particular row.
- Cluster also improves retrieval performance of the database operation.
Which of the following is/are true statement(s) about Oracle database?
- Ordinary tables are stored with all rows in no particular order.
- In ordinary tables, rows of the table are stored in different segments.
- In partitioned tables, rows of the table are stored in one segment.
- All of the above
- Both (1) and (2)
Which of the following is a false statement about the Application architecture in Oracle database?
- In Application architecture, client application is also responsible for data processing.
- Oracle database provides better performance to its client applications.
- Oracle database provides better concurrency and data integrity.
- Client applications are not dependent on the physical location of the data.
- None of the above
Which of the following is/are false statement(s) about Oracle data types?
- Character string length is maximum 2000 bytes.
- There are no reference data types defined for Oracle database.
- The array data type is ordered type.
- long raw comes under the collection data types.
- Both (2) and (4)
Which of the following is/are the false statement(s)?
- System Global Area (SGA) has no direct access from the clients.
- System Global Area (SGA) is a called a shared memory segment.
- The dictionary cache in SGA caches Oracle own internal information.
- None of the above
- Both (1) and (3)
Which of the following is a false statement about the data flow in Oracle database?
- The log buffer is responsible for records all the changes made to the buffer cache.
- The log buffer is a part of SGA (System Global Area).
- The serve process makes an entry to log buffer to execute the SQL statements.
- The log buffer is not responsible to redo the changes in case of a recovery process.
- None of the above
Which of the following is/are true about log writer in the Oracle database server?
- It is used to store log records for recovery process.
- Log writer is responsible for writing the redo log buffer to the redo log files.
- The typical size of log writer is up to a few hundred kilobytes.
- All of the above
- Both (1) and (2)
Which of the following is/are true about the multitier architecture of Oracle database?
- Multitier Architecture contains one or more application servers.
- An application server acts as an interface between clients and multiple database servers.
- Multitier architecture enables application server to validate the credentials of a client, such as a web browser.
- All of the above
- Both (1) and (3)
Which of the following is false about Oracle instance in Oracle database server?
- Oracle instance is a major component in the Oracle database server.
- Oracle instance is a set of memory and process structures.
- It is responsible for translating SQL calls given by the client.
- Oracle instance may exist without being associated with an Oracle database.
- None of the above
