View the Exhibit and examine the Instance Efficiency Percentages that you got on generating an Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) report for your online transaction processing (OLTP) database.What can you deduce from this part of the AWR report?
(Choose all that apply.)


  • A. A low Library Hit % indicates that cursors are not being reused.
  • B. A low Execute to Parse % indicates that most SQL statements are reusing the existing execution plans.
  • C. A high In-memory Sort % indicates that most sorts are being done in memory, thereby causing the performance to degrade.

You work as a DBA and have the responsibility of managing a large online transaction processing (OLTP) system. You used the following query during the performance tuning activity:
SQL> SELECT (1-((phy.value-phyd.value) / (cur.value + con.value))) * 100
2 "Cache Hit ratio"
3 FROM v$sysstat cur, v$sysstat con, v$sysstat phy, v$sysstat phyd
4 WHERE cur.name = 'db block gets'
5 AND con.name = 'consistent gets'
6 AND phy.name = 'physical reads'
7 AND phyd.name = 'physical reads direct';

Cache Hit Ratio -
---------------
98.43
What can you conclude based on this ratio?

  • A. The database performance is very good because of reduced logical I/Os.
  • B. The database performance cannot be determined based only on this ratio.
  • C. Good database performance is guaranteed because very few physical I/Os are performed.
  • D. The database performance is very good because most of the requested data blocks are found in the buffer cache.


Answer : B

You observed that some of the queries are performing poorly on the SALES_RECORDS table in your database.
On further investigation, you find that at the end of each day the contents of the
SALES_RECORDS table are transferred to the SALES table and deleted from the
SALES_RECORDS table. The deleted operations cause the table to be sparsely populated.
The SALES_RECORDS table has Automatic Segment Space Management (ASSM) and row movement enabled. The table is accessible in 24x7 mode.
What is the most efficient method to improve the performance?

  • A. Perform EXPORT, DROP, and IMPORT operations on the SALES_RECORDS table sequentially.
  • B. Shrink the SALES_RECORDS table by using the ALTER TABLE...SHRINK SPACE command.
  • C. Move the SALES_RECORDS table to a different location by using the ALTER TABLE...MOVE command.
  • D. Deallocate the space in the SALES_RECORDS table by using the ALTER TABLE...DEALLOCATE UNUSED command.
