Service console for 1Z0-931 autonomous database

Question 1: 

What two tasks can be executed from the service console for Autonomous Databases?

1. Autonomous Databases monitoring for usage and query performance
2. Wizard to download connection wallet for connection from desktop tools.
3. Creating and scaling of Autonomous Database service
4. Creating schemas

Explanation

Each Autonomous Database instance has its own service console for monitoring that specific instance. The Overview and Activity tabs in the Service Console provide information about the performance of the service. The Activity tab also shows past and current monitored SQL statements and detailed information about each statement.

Also from the Service Console for your Autonomous Database you can download Client Credentials (Wallet) , pick Administration, then Download the Client Credentials (Wallet).

Question 2:

Which Autonomous Database Cloud service ignores hints in SQL Statements by default?

1. Autonomous Data Warehouse
2. Neither service ignores hints by default
3. Autonomous Transaction Processing
4. Both services ignore hints by default

Explanation

Optimizer Hints Ignored by default in ADW. where honored by default in ATP

Question 3:

While Autonomous Transaction Processing and Autonomous Data Warehouse use the same Oracle database, which statement is true about the workloads?

1. Autonomous Data Warehouse workloads are optimized for mixed workloads
2. Autonomous Transaction Processing workloads are optimized for data warehouse, data mart, and data lake

1. d) Autonomous Transaction Processing memory usage optimizes workloads for parallel joins and aggregations

Explanation

- Both ADW and ATP share the Autonomous Database platform of Oracle Database on Exadata Cloud infrastructure.

The difference is how the services have been optimized within the database. When you start loading data into the autonomous database, we store the data in the appropriate format for the workload.

• If it is ADW, then we store data in columnar format because that’s the best format for analytics processing.
• If it is ATP, then we store the data in row format because that’s the best format for fast single row lookups.

- Oracle Autonomous Database is offered in two workload-optimized flavors

• Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW), which has been optimized for analytic workloads
• Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP). ATP is optimized for transaction processing or mixed workload

Question 4:

Which two statements are true when running DBMS_CLOUD.COPY_DATA?

1. a) valid credential must be created prior to running the DBMS_CLOUD.COPY_DATA procedure

1. The source file can be in either Oracle Standard Storage or Oracle Archive Storage bucket in the

Object Store

1. The target table will be created in Autonomous Database if it does not already exist

Explanation

• The package DBMS_CLOUD supports loading from files in the following cloud services: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic, Azure Blob Storage, and Amazon S3.
• For data loading from files in the Cloud, you need to first store your object storage credentials in

your Autonomous Transaction Processing and then use the procedure DBMS_CLOUD.COPY_DATA to load data

Question 5:

When you choose to scale your Autonomous Database, which statement is true in regards to OCPUs and storage?

1. OCPUs and storage can be scaled independently
2. OCPUs and storage must remain in sync
3. Increasing OCPUs will automatically increase storage
4. Storage in TB cannot be larger than the number of OCPUs

Explanation

Oracle allows you to scale compute and storage independently, no need to do it together. these scaling activities fully online (no downtime required)

Question 6: 

What are two security features enabled by default by the Autonomous Database? a) Encrypted Database Links

1. SQL Net Encryption
2. One SYSDBA account
3. Read Only access to OS Audit logs
4. Transparent Data Encryption

Explanation

In Autonomous Database, Oracle encrypt your data everywhere—whether in motion in SQL*Net traffic, and at rest in tablespaces and backups by default, each Autonomous Database service is automatically configured to use industrystandard TLS 1.2 to encrypt data in transit between the database service and clients or applications. Required client certificates and networking information are automatically packaged for the service consumer when the service is provisioned

Oracle encrypt data at rest, by default the Autonomous Database is automatically encrypted using Oracle Transparent Data Encryption in tablespaces and backups

Question 7: 

Your customer has upgraded their on premise 11.2 database to 12.2. During this migration the database was migrated to a pluggable database and is now in production.

How should the customer unplug their database to migrate to Autonomous Database (ADB)? a) Unplug into a pdb archive which can be uploaded to object storage

1. Create a database link from source database to the ADB environment and clone the PDB
2. Pluggable databases cannot be migrated to ADB using plug, unplug or clone
3. Unplug to an xml file so database files and xml file can be uploaded to object storage

Explanation

Since an ADB database has some restrictions on the object types and Oracle Database Options you need to use a logical migration method rather than a physical one.

The main migration tool for migrating to ADB is Data Pump. You can export your schemas and import them into ADB using Data Pump. To sync up the additional/incremental changes on the source database during the export/import process you can use GoldenGate or GoldenGate Cloud Service to replicate those changes to ADB.

In the current release you cannot use physical migration methods like backup/restore, Data Guard, Pluggable/Unplug , database clones, and transportable tablespaces to move your existing database to ADB.

Question 8:

What are three methods to load data into the Autonomous Database?

1. Transportable Tablespace
2. Oracle Data Pump
3. RMAN Restore
4. Oracle GoldenGate
5. SQL*Loader

Explanation

You can load data into the autonomous database using Oracle Database tools and Oracle and third-party data integration tools. ( Oracle Data Pump & PL/SQL package, DBMS_CLOUD & SQL*Loader)

You can export your schemas and import them into ADB using Data Pump. To sync up the additional/incremental changes on the source database during the export/import process you can use GoldenGate or GoldenGate Cloud Service to replicate those changes to ADB

Question 9:

Which two statements are true about the The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)?

1. Regions are dependent on other regions and must be located with 5 thousand kilometers of each other
2. A single fault domain can be associated with multiple regions and availability domains

Explanation

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is physically hosted in regions and availability domains. A region is a localized geographic area, and an availability domain is one or more data centers located within a region. A region is composed of one or more availability domains.

Availability domains are isolated from each other, fault tolerant, and very unlikely to fail simultaneously or be impacted by the failure of another availability domain. When you configure your cloud services, use multiple availability domains to ensure high availability and to protect against resource failure.

Question 10:

A customer wants to migrate to Autonomous Database (ADB) but only allows for a very small window of downtime. Golden Gate was advised to be used during the migration. For maximum reassurance of their

end-users, the customer also would like to use Golden Gate as a fall-back scenario for the first 6 months after the migration. If customers complain, the on-premise data can be synchronised with the ADB instance for a switch back.

Which statement about the migration using Golden Gate is correct?

1. Migration to ADB is not possible using Golden Gate because the apply-process cannot be installed on ADB
2. Golden Gate on premise Is not certified with ADB because Golden Gate Cloud Service exists for this
3. Only the migration to ADB is possible from an on-premise installation of Golden Gate
4. The described scenario is correct, can be used for migration and fallback scenarios

Explanation

You can replicate data to Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Cloud and Autonomous Transaction Processing using Oracle GoldenGate On Premises and Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service.

• You can configure the Autonomous Database instance as a target database for Oracle GoldenGate On Premises.
• You can’t set up Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud database as a source database for Oracle GoldenGate On Premises.

Question 11:

Which Autonomous Database Cloud service ignores hints in SQL Statements by default?

1. Autonomous Data Warehouse
2. Neither service ignores hints by default
3. Autonomous Transaction Processing
4. Both services ignore hints by default

Explanation

Question 13:

In which way can a SQL Developer help you test your data loading scenario to Autonomous Database (ADB)?

1. In the TEST phase, a temporary table will be populated with the records before inserting them in the destination table
2. In the Column Definition Phase, the system cross-references with the file-contents and shows the conflicts with the definition
3. In the TEST phase of the wizard, a subset of accepted records are displayed based on your definition

Explanation

Question 14:

Once you have a connection to the Autonomous Data Warehouse, how do you import tables into the Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC)? a) Import Table

1. Create a Data Set
2. Replicate the table using Golden Gate

2. Connect to Autonomous Database from remote database using a database link
3. You can call PL/SQL procedures and functions using a database link
4. Create a database link from one Autonomous Database to another Autonomous Database instance

Explanation

• Before ADB May2019 update

ADB support ongoing database links only. so the correct answer is B

• After ADB May2019 update

Yes, database links are fully supported in ADB.

For serverless ADB deployments the target database must be configured to use TCP/IP with SSL (TCPS) authentication. ATP Dedicated does not support TCP/IP with SSL (TCPS) encrypted connections for DB Links.

so the correct answer should be all

Let's assume this question from old questions bulk and the answer is B

Question 18:

The 3rd party application that your customer wants to migrate to Autonomous Database (ADB) has some specific demands like tablespace names, usernames and init.ora parameters. The decision was made to adhere to the suggested migration method using an instant client and the datapump version that was suggested (and came with it).

Which statement is true about the migration of the application's database success?

1. The migration can be technically a success but the 3-rd party vendor needs to support the result
2. The migration can be a success, both technically and functional due to data pump enhancements
3. The suggested data pump version will create an alias for non-standard tablespace names so the migration is successful.

Explanation

Autonomous Database configures and optimizes your database. You do not need to perform administration operations for configuring the database. SQL commands used for database administration such as CREATE TABLESPACE are not available.

Question 26

Users are required to select a service when connecting to Autonomous Data Warehouse and these services match to one of three different consumer groups: High, Medium, and Low.

Which statement about these consumer groups is correct?

1. High provides highest concurrency and lowest resources, and DoP is i.
2. Medium provides intermediate resource and concurrency, and queries run in a serial.
3. High provides highest resources, lowest concurrency, and DoP is 1.
4. Low provides highest concurrency, lowest resources, and DoP =1.

Explanation

Predefined Database Service Names for Autonomous Data Warehouse

• high: The High database service provides the highest level of resources to each SQL statement resulting in the highest performance, but supports the fewest number of concurrent SQL statements. Any SQL statement in this service can use all the CPU and IO resources in your database. The number of concurrent SQL statements that can be run in this service is 3, this number is independent of the number of OCPUs in your database.
• medium: The Medium database service provides a lower level of resources to each SQL statement potentially resulting a lower level of performance, but supports more concurrent SQL statements. Any SQL statement in this service can use multiple CPU and IO resources in your database. The number of concurrent SQL statements that can be run in this service depends on the number of OCPUs in your database.
• low: The Low database service provides the least level of resources to each SQL statement, but supports the most number of concurrent SQL statements. Any SQL statement in this service can use a single CPU and multiple IO resources in your database. The number of concurrent SQL statements that can be run in this service can be up to 100 times the number of OCPUs.

Any SQL statement in this service can use a single CPU and multiple IO resources in your database. The number of concurrent SQL statements that can be run in this service can be up to 100 times the number of OCPUs.

Question 29:

Your customer receives information in various formats like .csv files from their suppliers. The business user would like to collect all of this information and store it in a ATP environment. The Oracle adviser recommends to use Oracle Data Sync for this.

Which statement is true regarding Oracle Data Sync?

1. Data Sync can only load files into tables (insert-only), the customer has to write the additional code
2. Data Sync can not transform your data while loading it into the destination table
3. Data Sync can load a combination of data source, such as xsv, .xlsx and Oracle relational files
4. Data Sync can only load data from one source into one destination table

Explanation

Use Data Sync to upload, and manage data. You can load data from files (CSV and XLSX), various relational sources (tables, views, SQL statements), OTBI, JDBC data sources, and Oracle Service Cloud. You can load to relational tables or data sets.

Use Data Sync when you want to:

• Load data sources other than Oracle.
• Load a combination of data sources, such as CSV, XLSX, and Oracle relational files.
• Perform incremental data loads or rolling deletes.
• Perform insert-only or append strategies.
• Merge data from multiple sources.
• Transform your data (if you’re using Database As A Service or an on-premises database that is configured using the ‘Oracle (Thin)’).
• Schedule data loads. You can replace, append, and update data in tables by scheduling data loads and using the Load Strategy option of this utility.
