I want to verify that for below question my answer is correct please kindly help me.

Your database instance is abnormally terminated because of a power outage. At the next startup, from which
point in the redo log does the recovery start?
A. from the last complete checkpoint position
B. from the beginning of the current redo log file until the instance failure
C. from the last committed transaction
D. from the beginning of the current redo log file to the checkpoint position
E. from the most recent incremental checkpoint

I think answer should be B please verify.

Which three requirements should be successfully met by an Oracle Secure Backup (OSB) user so that OSB
performs RMAN backup or restore requests? (Choose three.)
A. RMAN preauthorization on the host
B. OSB encryption for data in transport and on tape
C. matching the OS user identity of the Oracle instance associated with the database username
D. assigned to a class with rights to back up or restore Oracle database
E. scheduling of the RMAN backup to occur automatically at user-defined intervals
F. assigned to a class with rights to browse all directories and catalogs

I think ADF

The answer will be A.

The last complete checkpoint will coincide with the "oldest" datafile. Incremental checkpoints might have advanced *some* of the datafiles forward in time, but the last complete checkpoint will be where we need to start.

Which three requirements should be successfully met by an Oracle Secure Backup

I'm not an OSB expert, but I believe you are correct with ADF. I got that from the docs

Really appreciate your comment on my post.

this is regarding below question,
Your database instance is abnormally terminated because of a power outage. At the next startup, from which
point in the redo log does the recovery start?


But my point is complete checkpoints are not in the online redologs for a instance recovery it check only the redologs I think your answer(A) is bit confusing me do you have any proofs to justify the answer.

The question is not what is *in* in the redo logs, the question is ... where do we need to *start* in the redo logs. Lets say your database has only 4 data files. At any given point in time, they will look like this:

File1:Complete checkpoint at 9am, no further checkpoints
File2:Complete checkpoint at 9am, Incremental checkpoint at 9:02am
File3:Complete checkpoint at 9am, Incremental checkpoint at 9:06am
File4:Complete checkpoint at 9am, no further checkpoints

So when the instance crashes, we look at those checkpoint marks on the files and decide:

"OK, we need to start at 9am. File 2,3 will be quicker because they'll only need redo information from 9:02 and 9:06 respectively, but we're going to have to *start* from 9am because that is the oldest checkpoint marker"

B. It replaces secure application roles.
C. Master encryption keys are managed by Oracle Database Vault.

my answer is ACD

You notice that the performance of your production 24x7 Oracle 12c database has significantly degraded.
Sometimes, you are not able to connect to the database instance because it hangs.
How can you detect the cause of the degraded performance?
A. by performing emergency monitoring using Real-Time Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) to
fetch data directly from SGA for analysis
B. by running ADDM to fetch information from the latest Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) snapshots
C. by using Active Session History (ASH) data and performing hang analysis
D. by running ADDM in diagnostic mode

My answer is A

While performing database backup to tape via the media manager interface, you notice that tape streaming is
not happening because RMAN is not sending data blocks fast enough to the tape drive.
Which two actions would you take for tape streaming to happen during the backup? (Choose two.)
A. Configure backup optimization.
B. Configure the channel to increase maxopenfiles.
C. Configure a backup policy by using incremental backups.
D. Configure the channel to increase capacity with the rate parameter.
E. Configure the channel to adjust the tape buffer size by using the 3LKSIZE option.
F. Configure large_pool, if not done already. Alternatively, you can increase the size of large_pool.

My answer is BE

In a database supporting an OLTP workload, tables are frequently updated on both key and non-key columns.

C. hash clustered table
D. global temporary table
E. index clustered table

My answer is A
