Execution plan:

What must be the correct order of steps that the optimizer executes based on the ID column the execution plan?

A. 3, 5, 4, 6, 7
B. 3, 4, 5, 7, 6
C. 3, 5, 4, 7, 6
D. 4, 5, 3, 7, 6


Question 3

View the exhibit and examine the findings provided by the SQL Tuning Advisor for SELECT Statement.

A SWL plan baseline already exists for the execution plan.
What two methods can you use to ensure that an alternate plan becomes an accepted plan?

A. Use the DBMS_SPM.LOAD_PLANS_FROM_SQLSET function.

C. Use the DBMS_SQLTUNE.CREATE_SQL_PLAN_BASELINE function.
D. Use the DBMS_SQLTUNE.CREATE_SQL_PLAN_BASELINE function and run the DBMS_STATS to manually refresh stale statistics.


Question 4

View Exhibit1 and examine the structure and indexes for the MYSALES table.

The application uses the MYSALES table to insert sales record. But this table is also extensively used for generating sales reports. The PROD_ID and CUST_ID columns are frequently used in the WHERE clause of the queries. These columns have few distinct values relative to the total number of rows in the table. The MYSALES table has 4.5 million rows.
View exhibit 2 and examine one of the queries and its autotrace output.

Which two methods can examine one of the queries and its autotrace output?

A. Drop the current standard balanced B* Tree indexes on the CUST_ID and PROD_ID columns and re-create as bitmapped indexes.
B. Create a composite index involving the CUST_ID and PROD_ID columns.
C. Collect histogram statistics for the CUST_ID and PROD_ID columns.
D. Use the INDEX_COMBINE hint in the query.
E. Rebuild the index to rearrange the index blocks to have more rows per block by decreasing the value for PCTFRE attribute.


Question 5

You are administering a database supporting an OLTP application. The application runs a series of extremely similar queries the MYSALES table where the value of CUST_ID changes.
Examine Exhibit1 to view the query and its execution plan.

Examine Exhibit 2 to view the structure and indexes for the MYSALES table. The MYSALES table has 4 million records.

Data in the CUST_ID column is highly skewed. Examine the parameters set for the instance:

Which action would you like to make the query use the best plan for the selectivity?

A. Decrease the value of the OPTIMIZER_DYNAMIC_SAMPLING parameter to 0.
B. Us the /*+ INDEX(CUST_ID_IDX) */ hint in the query.
C. Drop the existing B* -tree index and re-create it as a bitmapped index on the CUST_ID column.
D. Collect histogram statistics for the CUST_ID column and use a bind variable instead of literal values.
