Which THREE statements are true about Far Sync instances?
Correct Answer: B,D,E
Question 47
Which TWO statements are true about configuring Oracle Net Service in a Data Guard environment?
Correct Answer: A,C
A static service must be registered with the local listener to enable DGMGRL to restart instances during the course of broker operations (A): For DGMGRL (Data Guard Manager Command-Line Interface) to perform instance management operations, such as restarting instances, a static service registration in the listener is required. This allows the broker to connect to the database instance even when the instance is not fully up and the dynamic service registration is not available. Installing the oracle-database-preinstall-19c package is NOT sufficient to set up operating system kernel parameters for Oracle Net (C): While the oracle-database-preinstall-19c package automates the setting of several kernel parameters to meet the preinstallation requirements for Oracle Database, it does not specifically tailor all settings for Oracle Net in a Data Guard configuration. Additional manual configuration may be required to optimize Oracle Net services for Data Guard operations. Reference: Oracle Data Guard Broker documentation Oracle Net Services Administrator's Guide
Question 48
Your Data Guard environment has a remote physical standby database with real-time query enabled, which is used for reporting, and a logical standby database used for DSS reporting. Switchovers or failovers are possible due to testing or in case of a disaster. Clients use local TNSNAMES.ORA files to define connection strings to the database instances. Which three will prevent clients from connecting to the wrong database instances?
Correct Answer: B,D,E
Based on Oracle Database 19c: Data Guard Administration documents, the three measures that can prevent clients from connecting to the wrong database instances during switchovers, failovers, or regular operations in a Data Guard environment are: * B. The standby database services must be defined statically with the Listeners running on the standby database hosts. * D. The client applications must use the correct TNS entries when requesting connections to the database instances. * E. Client TNS entries for the databases use the correct service names for the intended service. * In an Oracle Data Guard configuration, correctly configuring Oracle Net Services (including TNS entries and listeners) is crucial for ensuring that clients connect to the appropriate database instance, whether it's the primary or standby. Defining services on the standby database and associating them with listeners ensures that client applications can connect to the standby when needed, especially useful in a role transition or when the standby is open for read-only access or real-time query. It's essential that TNS entries used by client applications specify the correct service names that correspond to the intended * database roles, such as primary or standby. This setup facilitates seamless connectivity to the appropriate instance based on the role, especially critical during switchovers and failovers when the roles of the databases change. * References:Oracle's Data Guard concepts and administration guide provides extensive information on configuring network services for Data Guard environments, ensuring that applications connect to the correct database instance based on the current role of the databases in the Data Guard configuration.
Question 49
Which TWO statements are true about Real-Time Query?
Correct Answer: A,C
Real-Time Query is a feature that allows queries to be run on a physical standby database while it is applying redo data. The relevant truths about it are: * Setting standby_max_data_delay=0 requires synchronous redo transport (A): For the real-time apply feature to function with no data delay (zero delay), synchronous redo transport must be used. This setting ensures that the data on the standby database is as current as possible before queries are executed against it. * Disabling Real-Time Query prevents the automatic start of redo apply when a physical standby database is opened read-only (C): If Real-Time Query is disabled, opening the standby database in read-only mode will not start the redo apply process automatically. Redo apply needs to be manually started to synchronize the standby database with the primary.References: * Oracle Data Guard Concepts and Administration Guide
Question 50
Which four requirements can be met by deploying a logical standby database?
Correct Answer: A,C,E,F
A logical standby database is part of Oracle Data Guard and allows the standby database to be open for read-write operations, providing additional flexibility. The requirements met by a logical standby database include: Support for workloads requiring additional materialized views (A): Logical standby databases can support materialized views, allowing for complex data summarization and reporting workloads. It can be used to create additional tables (C): Unlike physical standby databases, logical standby databases allow for the creation of additional tables that do not exist in the primary database, enabling custom workloads and reporting. It can be used for Real Application Testing without affecting the disaster recovery capabilities (E): Logical standby databases can be used to test application changes, patches, and upgrades while still maintaining their role as part of the disaster recovery strategy. Support for workloads requiring additional indexes (F): Logical standby databases allow for the creation of additional indexes to optimize query performance for reporting and analytical workloads.
