MCQs
A metric is defined as the rate of change in some cumulative statistic. This rate can be measured against a variety of units, including time, transactions, or database calls. For example, the number database calls per second is a metric.
Data Independence means changing internal level does not affect conceptual level.
The Data Recovery Ad-visor automatically diagnoses corruption or loss of persistent data on disk, determines the appropriate repair options, and executes repairs at the user's request. This reduces the complexity of recovery process, thereby reducing the Mean Time To Recover (MTTR).
After each block is formatted/finished, the new index keys are put in a sort (temporary) segment.
The UNIQUE constraint uniquely identifies each record in a database table.The UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints both provide a guarantee for uniqueness for a column or set of columns.
Index is used for to perform the quick operation on the data.
An ORDER BY clause allows you to specify the order in which rows appear in the result set.
Use the CREATE SEQUENCE statement to create a sequence, which is a database object from which multiple users may generate unique integers. You can use sequences to automatically generate primary key values.
In Oracle NULL values represent missing unknown data.
