Which of the following is/are true about incremental back up of RMAN in oracle database recovery?

  1. It includes all used data blocks in the datafiles.

  2. It includes a backup of datafiles that includes only the blocks that have changed since a previous incremental backup.

  3. Incremental backups of control files and archived logs always include all blocks in the files.

  4. Incremental backups require a full or incremental level 0 backup to serve as a basis.

  5. Both (2) and (4)


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

These are the true statements.

Which of the following is false about backing up control files with RMAN?

  1. Backing up the control file can be done only when the database is mounted or open.

  2. The control file autobackup contains metadata about the previous backup.

  3. We can not manually set the autobackup.

  4. BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE command is used to run the backup.

  5. Both (2) and (3)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is false as the autobackup can be set manually if it is not set.

Which of the following is/are true about 'Image copies' back up in RMAN recovery?

  1. In this recovery, RMAN is responsible for creating the copes of datafiles and control files.

  2. In this backup, RMAN only records backup sets in the repository that complete successfully.

  3. Image copy backups can only be created on disk.

  4. All of the above

  5. Both (1) and (3)


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

These are the correct statements.

Which of the following is/are applicable in backup sets in RMAN backup?

  1. A backup set consists of one or more files.

  2. In this backup, RMAN only records backup sets in the repository that complete successfully.

  3. In this backup, RMAN also supports binary compression of backup sets.

  4. All of the above

  5. Both (1) and (3)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

These are the correct statements about Backup Sets in RMAN backup.

Which of the following is/are true about consistent backups with RMAN?

  1. A consistent database will be in consistent state when the database is shut down normally.

  2. At consistent state, all the changes in the redo log have been applied to the datafiles.

  3. For a consistent database state, Oracle must perform media recovery before the database can be opened.

  4. All of the above

  5. Both (1) and (2)


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

These are the correct statement about consistent backups with RMAN.

What information needs to be checked during validation of datafiles using RMAN?

  1. Datafiles exist or not.

  2. This backup validation discovers corrupt blocks.

  3. RMAN can issues an error message, in case if it cannot validate the backup of one or more of the files.

  4. All of the above

  5. Both (1) and (3)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All are the correct statements.

Which of the following is incorrect statement about backing up database files using RMAN recovery?

  1. Backing Up database files using RMAN, we can backup one or more individual tablespaces.

  2. Backing Up database files using RMAN , we can back up datafiles and datafile copies when the database is mounted or open.

  3. In this backup, RMAN uses a snapshot control file to ensure a read-consistent version.

  4. In this back up, datafile copies exist on disk only.

  5. None of the above


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

All of the above are the correct statements.

Which of the following information is contained by the RMAN report?

  1. Information related to the datafiles backup

  2. Information related to datafiles recoverability

  3. Information related to current physical schema of the database

  4. All of the above

  5. Both (2) and (3)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All are the correct statements.

Which of the following is/are false about RMAN LIST command?

  1. The LIST command is used to query the RMAN repository.

  2. This command is used to backup sets and image copies.

  3. RMAN LIST output is sent either to standard output or to the message log.

  4. This command can cause the deletion of backups or archived logs.

  5. Both (2) and (4)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

RMAN LIST command is not responsible for any deletion of backups.

Which of the following is/are true about Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) in automatic performance tuning ?

  1. It is responsible for maintaining performance statistics for problem detection and self-tuning purposes.

  2. It provides a quick and efficient technique for optimizing SQL statements without modifying any statements.

  3. It provides advice on materialized views, indexes, and materialized view logs.

  4. It provides server generated alerts.

  5. Both (1) and (2)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

AWR maintains the statistics report for the processes and their related problems.

Which of the following is/are true about Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) in automatic performance tuning of oracle database?

  1. It is used to collect, process, and maintain performance statistics for problem detection and self-tuning purposes

  2. It is used to analyse the information collected by the AWR for possible performance problems with the Oracle database.

  3. It provides a quick and efficient technique for optimizing SQL statements without modifying any statements.

  4. It provides end-to-end application tracing.

  5. Both (1) and (2)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is correct statement about Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM).

Which of the following baselines is/are necessary during performance tuning planning of oracle database?

  1. Database statistics

  2. Operating system statistics

  3. Application statistics

  4. Network statistics

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

All are the correct statements.

Which of the following is/are applicable for SQL tuning advisor in automatic performance tuning of oracle database?
