Question No. 1

Examine this AWR report excerpt:

You must reduce the impact of database I/O, without increasing buffer cache size and without modifying the SQL statements.

Which compression option satisfies this requirement?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

To reduce the impact of database I/O without increasing the size of the buffer cache and without modifying SQL statements, you can use table compression. Among the given options, ROW STORE COMPRESS ADVANCED is the most suitable form of table compression to satisfy this requirement.

Advanced row compression (ROW STORE COMPRESS ADVANCED) is designed to work well with all supported types of data, whether it's OLTP or data warehouse environments. It offers a higher level of compression than basic table compression (ROW STORE COMPRESS BASIC) without significant overhead during DML operations. This feature can help reduce the amount of I/O required to retrieve data by storing it more efficiently on disk.

A, B, D: While COLUMN STORE COMPRESS FOR QUERY HIGH and ROW STORE COMPRESS are both valid compression types, COLUMN STORE COMPRESS FOR QUERY HIGH applies to the In-Memory column store and is not available in all versions and editions, and ROW STORE COMPRESS is less advanced than ROW STORE COMPRESS ADVANCED.

Question No. 2

Database performance has degraded recently.

index range scan operations on index ix_sales_time_id are slower due to an increase in buffer gets on sales table blocks.

Examine these attributes displayed by querying DBA_TABLES:

Now, examine these attributes displayed by querying DBA_INDEXES:

Which action will reduce the excessive buffer gets?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

Given that index range scan operations on IX_SALES_TIME_ID are slower due to an increase in buffer gets, the aim is to improve the efficiency of the index access. In this scenario:

B (Correct): Re-creating the index using ADVANCED COMPRESSION can reduce the size of the index, which can lead to fewer physical reads (reduced I/O) and buffer gets when the index is accessed, as more of the index can fit into memory.

The other options would not be appropriate because:

A (Incorrect): Re-creating the SALES table sorted in order of the index might not address the issue of excessive buffer gets. Sorting the table would not improve the efficiency of the index itself.

C (Incorrect): Using the columns in IX_SALES_TIME_ID as a hash partitioning key for the SALES table is more relevant to data distribution and does not necessarily improve index scan performance.

D (Incorrect): Hash partitioning the index is generally used to improve the scan performance in a parallel query environment, but it may not reduce the number of buffer gets in a single-threaded query environment.

Question No. 3

Which two statements are true about cursor sharing?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A, D

A) When Cursor_sharing is set to FORCE, Oracle tries to avoid hard parses by replacing literals in SQL statements with bind variables, even if the original statement didn't include bind variables. This can lead to the use of a single execution plan for multiple executions of a statement with different literal values, which might not be optimal for all executions.

D) Setting cursor_sharing to EXACT ensures that SQL statements must match exactly for them to share a cursor. This setting prevents the use of Adaptive Cursor Sharing (ACS) since ACS relies on the ability to share cursors among similar statements that differ only in their literal values. With EXACT, there's no cursor sharing for statements with different literals, hence no opportunity for ACS to operate.

Question No. 4

A Standard Edition production database has performance problems for two hours on the same day each week.

Which tool must you use to diagnose the problem?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

For a Standard Edition production database, the Statspack tool is available to diagnose performance problems. The Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) and its related tools like AWR Compare Periods report and SQL Performance Analyzer are features of the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and are not available in Standard Edition. Database Replay is also a feature of the Enterprise Edition. Statspack is a performance diagnostic tool provided for earlier versions and Standard Editions of the Oracle Database to collect, store, and analyze performance data.

Question No. 5

Which procedure gathers statistics that are always used in the generation of any execution plan?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

The DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DATABASE_STATS procedure is used to gather statistics for all schema objects in the database that do not have up-to-date statistics. These statistics are essential for the optimizer to make informed decisions about the most efficient way to execute a query. The procedure collects statistics such as table and column statistics, index statistics, and system statistics, which are all used in the execution plan generation.
