Oracle 1z0-931-25 - Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud 2025 Professional

Changing the ADMIN user’s password in an Autonomous Database on Shared Infrastructure is restricted to specific managed methods due to its serverless nature:

Correct Answer (C): “OS command line from the database server” is not permitted because Autonomous Database is fully managed by Oracle. Users do not have direct access to the underlying operating system or server, eliminating this as a viable option.

Valid Methods:

A: The Admin page in the OCI Console allows password changes via the “Change Administrator Password” option, a user-friendly GUI method.

B: The OCI CLI supports password updates using commands like oci db autonomous-database update with the --admin-password parameter.

Provisioning dedicated Exadata Infrastructure resources for Autonomous Database follows a specific hierarchical order:

Fleet Administrator, Autonomous Exadata Infrastructure -> Autonomous Container DB -> Database Administrator -> Autonomous DB (A):

Fleet Administrator provisions Autonomous Exadata Infrastructure:The Fleet Administrator, responsible for infrastructure management, first sets up the Autonomous Exadata Infrastructure (AEI), which includes the physical Exadata hardware and networking configuration.

Fleet Administrator provisions Autonomous Container DB (ACD):Within the AEI, the Fleet Administrator creates the ACD, a container that hosts multiple Autonomous Databases.

Database Administrator provisions Autonomous DB:Finally, the Database Administrator (DBA) provisions individual Autonomous Databases within the ACD, configuring them for specific workloads (e.g., ATP or ADW).

The incorrect options are:

B:The Database Administrator cannot provision the ACD before the AEI is set up by the Fleet Administrator.

C and D:The Database Administrator does not provision the AEI or ACD; these are infrastructure-level tasks handled by the Fleet Administrator.

This order ensures proper separation of infrastructure and database management responsibilities.

Fleet administrators managing dedicated Exadata infrastructure in Oracle Autonomous Database require broad permissions across all Autonomous Database resources, including those on dedicated infrastructure.

Correct Answer (B): The policy Allow group adb-admins to manage autonomous-database-family in tenancy grants comprehensive management rights over the entire Autonomous Database family, including dedicated Exadata infrastructure. The autonomous-database-family resource type encompasses all Autonomous Database resources (shared and dedicated) within the tenancy, making it suitable for fleet admins.

Incorrect Options:

A: Limits permissions to databases with the OLTP workload type (Autonomous Transaction Processing), excluding Data Warehouse (DW) or other types on dedicated infrastructure.

C: Restricts access to DW workload types only, omitting OLTP and other configurations.

Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) Web Edition integrates with Autonomous Database:

Correct Answer (B): “ODI Web Edition can be installed from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Marketplace” is true. It’s offered as a Marketplace image for easy deployment on OCI compute instances.

Correct Answer (D): “All capabilities of ODI Classic are available with ODI Web Edition” is correct; the web version retains full functionality for data integration tasks.

Incorrect Options:

A: ODI Web Edition is not limited to Oracle Linux; it runs on various platforms supported by OCI.

Autonomous Database supports multiple methods for loading data, tailored to its cloud-managed nature. The three correct methods are:

Oracle Data Pump (A):Data Pump is a versatile tool for importing data into Autonomous Database. You export data from a source database (e.g., using expdp), upload the dump files to OCI Object Storage, and then use the DBMS_CLOUD package (e.g., DBMS_CLOUD.COPY_DATA) to import it. It’s ideal for bulk data migration, supporting complex schemas and large datasets. For example, a DBA might export a schema from an on-premises database, upload it to a bucket, and import it into ADB with minimal downtime.

Oracle GoldenGate (C):GoldenGate enables real-time data replication from sourcedatabases (on-premises or cloud) to Autonomous Database. It’s perfect for continuous data loading or synchronization, supporting both initial loads and ongoing change data capture. For instance, you could replicate transactional data from an OLTP system to ADB using GoldenGate’s CDC (Change Data Capture) capabilities, ensuring near-zero latency.

SQL*Loader (E):SQL*Loader loads data from flat files (e.g., CSV, text) into Autonomous Database. You upload files to OCI Object Storage and use DBMS_CLOUD procedures (e.g., DBMS_CLOUD.LOAD_DATA) to process them. It’s efficient for structured data imports, like loading a CSV of customer records, with options to handle errors and transformations.

The incorrect options are:

RMAN Restore (B):Recovery Manager (RMAN) is for backups and restores, not general data loading. While it can restore an ADB from a backup, it’s not a method for loading new data into an existing instance.

Transportable Tablespace (D):This method moves tablespaces between databases by copying data files, but it’s not supported in Autonomous Database due to its managed architecture, which restricts direct file-level operations.

These methods cater to different use cases: Data Pump for migrations, GoldenGate for replication, and SQL*Loader for file-based loads.

Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

Connecting a marketplace OCI image (e.g., a pre-configured VM) to an Autonomous Database on Shared Infrastructure involves network and compatibility considerations. Let’s analyze each option:

A. The Autonomous Database must belong to a Network Security Group (NSG):False. NSGs enhance security but are optional. Connectivity can be achieved without them using security lists or other rules.

B. The marketplace OCI image can be used with an Always Free Autonomous Database account:True. The Always Free tier supports connectivity from OCI marketplace images, provided network configurations (e.g., VCN, subnet) allow it. This makes B the correct answer.

C. A Private Endpoint is required to connect to the Autonomous Database on Shared Exadata infrastructure:False. While private endpoints enhance security, public endpoints are also supported for shared infrastructure, making this optional.

D. The marketplace OCI image does not support connecting to an AutonomousDatabase on Shared Infrastructure:False. Marketplace images are designed to integrate with OCI services, including Autonomous Databases on shared infrastructure.

Option B stands out as it aligns with Oracle’s support for Always Free tiers, offering flexibility for users to leverage marketplace tools without additional cost.

Addressing a storage I/O bottleneck for insert throughput in Autonomous Database involves resource adjustments:

Correct Answer (C): “Increase the number of OCPUs allocated to the database” boosts processing power, which directly improves I/O performance. In Autonomous Database, OCPUs handle both compute and I/O operations; more OCPUs increase the I/O bandwidth, reducing the bottleneck for insert-heavy workloads.

Incorrect Options:

A: Removing non-JSON data may optimize storage use but doesn’t directly addressI/O throughput for inserts.

B: “Noisy neighbors” is a shared infrastructure concern, but migration isn’t a standard solution for I/O bottlenecks and requires Oracle intervention, not user control.

Connecting to Autonomous Database (ADB) via SQL Developer requires specific parameters. The correct answer is:

Connection Name (E):The Connection Name is a user-defined label in SQL Developer to identify the connection in the tool’s interface. It is not a technical requirement for establishing the database connection itself, making it optional in terms of connectivity.

The required parameters are:

Password (A):Essential for user authentication alongside the username.

Service (B):Refers to the service name (e.g., high, medium, low) from the wallet’s tnsnames.ora, specifying the performance level and connection type.

Username (C):Required to identify the database user.

Database name (D):Needed to specify the target database or PDB within the ADB instance, typically provided via the wallet configuration.

Without A, B, C, and D, the connection cannot be established, but E is merely a convenience.

Full Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

Service connections in Autonomous Database:

A. DBNAME_LOW:Optimized for high concurrency with minimal resources per query, ideal for many simultaneous queries.

B. DBNAME_MEDIUM:Balanced concurrency and performance.

C. DBNAME_HIGH:Prioritizes individual query performance, not concurrency.

D. DBNAME_CONCURRENT:Not a valid service name.
