Which two statements are true about the configuration and use of UNDO?
A .True. Active (in-use) UNDO is never overwritten.
B .False. Unexpired UNDO can be reused if space is needed.
C .False. Applies to unexpired, not expired UNDO.
D .False. Only unexpired UNDO is targeted.
E .True. UNDO_RETENTION sets the retention goal for unexpired UNDO.
You execute the SHUTDOWN ABORT command. Which two statements are true?
A .False. No checkpoint occurs with ABORT.
B .False. Instance recovery, not media recovery, is needed.
C .True. Crash recovery rolls back uncommitted changes on startup.
D .False. Files aren't closed cleanly with ABORT.
E .True. Shutdown doesn't roll back; recovery does.
Which two actions can you perform using DBCA for an existing database?
A .False. DBCA can't change character sets post-creation.
B .False. Listeners are managed via NetCA or lsnrctl.
C .True. DBCA can switch server modes for existing DBs.
D .False. Tablespaces are created via SQL, not DBCA for existing DBs.
E .True. DBCA can generate clone templates from existing DBs.
Which two statements are true about views used for viewing tablespace and datafile information?
A .False. V$TABLESPACE doesn't show free space directly.
B .False. It's from the control file, not the data dictionary.
C .True. Renaming in MOUNT state updates DBA_DATA_FILES post-open.
D .False. DBA_TABLESPACES shows attributes, not free space directly (use DBA_FREE_SPACE).
E .True. V$TABLESPACE reflects control file data.
Which two statements describe how Optimizer Statistics are collected?
Optimizer Statistics drive the cost-based optimizer's query plans. Let's dissect each option:
A . Optimizer Statistics are collected automatically by an automatic maintenance job that runs during predefined maintenance windows.
True. Oracle 23ai uses the AutoTask framework to gather stats automatically during maintenance windows (e.g., nightly 10 PM--2 AM). The GATHER_STATS_PROG job, managed by DBMS_AUTO_TASK_ADMIN, collects stats for stale or missing objects.
Mechanics:Controlled by STATISTICS_LEVEL=TYPICAL (default) and the DEFAULT_MAINTENANCE_PLAN. It prioritizes objects with >10% changes (stale stats) or no stats.
Practical Use:Ensures stats are current without manual intervention, critical for dynamic workloads.
Edge Case:Disabled if STATISTICS_LEVEL=BASIC or the job is manually disabled via DBMS_AUTO_TASK_ADMIN.DISABLE.
B . Optimizer Statistics are collected in real-time as data is inserted, deleted, or updated.
False. Stats aren't updated in real-time; this would be too resource-intensive. Instead, Oracle tracks changes (e.g., via DBA_TAB_MODIFICATIONS) and updates stats periodically via AutoTask or manually. Real-time stats exist in 23ai for specific cases (e.g., GATHER_TABLE_STATS with REAL_TIME_STATS), but it's not the default.
Why Incorrect:Real-time collection would degrade performance for OLTP systems, contradicting Oracle's batch approach.
C . Optimizer Statistics can be manually collected at multiple levels using DBMS_STATS.GATHER_*_STATS PL/SQL procedures.
True. The DBMS_STATS package offers granular control: GATHER_TABLE_STATS, GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS, GATHER_DATABASE_STATS, etc., allowing stats collection for tables, schemas, or the entire database.
Mechanics:Example: BEGIN DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('HR', 'EMPLOYEES'); END;. Options like ESTIMATE_PERCENT and DEGREE fine-tune the process.
Practical Use:Used for immediate stats updates post-DML or for custom schedules outside maintenance windows.
Edge Case:Overuse can lock stats (e.g., FORCE=TRUE), requiring careful management.
D . Optimizer Statistics are collected by the Statistics Advisor.
False. The Statistics Advisor (new in 23ai) analyzes and recommends stats improvements but doesn't collect them. Collection is still via DBMS_STATS or AutoTask.
Why Incorrect:It's a diagnostic tool, not an executor.
E . Optimizer Statistics are collected automatically by Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) Snapshot.
False. AWR snapshots capture performance metrics (e.g., wait times), not optimizer stats. Stats collection is a separate process via AutoTask or manual commands.
Why Incorrect:AWR and stats collection serve distinct purposes---monitoring vs. optimization.
