---------- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ------------------------------
SYS TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE OPEN

SQL>

4.​What is the use of password file?

Answer:
--- If the DBA wants to start up an Oracle or ASM instance there must be a way for Oracle to
authenticate the DBA. Obviously, DBA password cannot be stored in the database, because Oracle cannot
access the database before the instance is started up. Therefore, the authentication of the DBA must
happen outside of the database.
--- Password file is needed for remote administration activities from your sysdba user.

5.​What is REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE parameter?

Answer:
--- The init parameter REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE specifies if a password file is used to authenticate
the Oracle DBA or not. If it is set either to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE, password file will be used.
--- In case if there is no password file then REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=NONE

6.​How to create password file? What is the tool or utility?

Answer:
--- orapwd is utility or tool

Example: [
oracle@oraclelab3 dbs]$ orapwd file=orapwTESTDB entries=5 force=y
Enter password for SYS:
[oracle@oraclelab3 dbs]$
[oracle@oraclelab3 dbs]$ ll ora*
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 6144 Nov 24 08:38 orapwTESTDB
[oracle@oraclelab3 dbs]$
 7.​What is the default location of password file? What I use the custom/other location for password
file?
Answer:
--- Location of password $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
--- We can change the location of password file in case if we use ASM using srvctl and keep under Disk
group

Example:
srvctl modify database -db dbname -pwfile location
srvctl modify database -db RAC12C -pwfile '+DATA/RAC12C/PASSWORD/orapwRAC12C'

8.​What are the roles of DBA?

​ Index, Tables, view, Synonyms, function, procedure Many more
--- Nonschema Object:
​ Profiles, Roles, Users, Tablespaces Many more

11.​ What are database startup modes?

Answer:
--- Normal startup modes: nomount >>> Mount >>> Open
--- Others (exclusive, restrict & upgrade)

12.​ Which files are needed on each stages of my database startup sequence?
Answer:
Nomount – We need spfile or pfile
Mount – We need control file
Open – We need datafiles and Redolog files

13.​ What is spfile and pfile?

Answer:
spfile – Is binary files, you can not modify this file and you can not read this file
pfile – text file, you can edit this file & read this file.

14.​ In case if we have both spfile and pfile, which one will be used during instance startup?
Answer:
--- First it will read spfile in case if no spfile found then it will fall back to pfile and try to
read pfile.
--- If both spfile and pfile are not available then instance will not start it will trough an error
message saying “parameter file not found”

15.​ What is the default location of spfile/pfile? Can I keep spfile in other than default location?
Answer:
--- spfile/pfile location: $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
--- We can change the location of spfile in case if we use ASM using srvctl and keep under Disk group

Example:
srvctl modify database -db dbname -spfile location
srvctl modify database -db RAC12C -spfile '+DATA/RAC12C/PARAMETER/spfileRAC12C.ora'

16.​ In case if we lose both spfile and pfile then how to restore spfile or pfile?
Answer:
--- Connect to recovery catalog and restore spfile
startup nomount
rman target / catalog=rman_cat/Welcome2020@CATDB
startup nomount
set dbid=953267200;
restore spfile;
startup force;

--- In case no recovery catalog

rman target /
set dbid 953267200;
startup force nomount;
restore spfile from
‘/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DEVDB/autobackup/2020_10_11/o1_mf_s_1053556312_hr6gn080_.bkp′;
startup force;

--- In case if you don’t have any valid backups then we have only option to restore pfile and there is
no way we can restore spfile
--- Read the content of alert log and look for previous instance startup time and collect default
parameter and create new pfile out of it.
--- In case if you don’t have alert log as well then create a new pfile with minimal parameters.

Answer:What are the contents of the control file?

--- The database name.

--- Names and locations of associated datafiles and online redo log files.
--- The timestamp of the database creation.
--- The current log sequence number.
--- Checkpoint information Other information too

17.​ In case if you lost the control file then how to restore?
Answer:
LOST ONLY ONE CONTROL FILE - MULTIPLEXED CONTROL FILE
--- copy from existing control file

LOST ALL CONTROL FILES

--- Restore using autobackup or any latest valid backup
rman target /
startup nomount;
restore controlfile from autobackup
alter database mount;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;

18.​ List out the tools for administering the database?

Answer:
--- OEM, sqlplus, expdp, Impdp, sqlldr, sqldeveloper, toad many more
 19.​ What are the dictionary tables or view?
Answer:
--- Data Dictionary is a read-only set of tables that provides information about the database.
A data dictionary contains:
The definitions of all schema objects in the database (tables, views, indexes, clusters, synonyms,
sequences, procedures, functions, packages, triggers, and so on)
--- All the data dictionary tables and views for a given database are stored in that
database's SYSTEM tablespace.
--- Data Dictionary consists of Base Tables and User-Accessible Views. There are own by sys user.
--- Oracle provides scripts to modify the data dictionary tables when a database is upgraded or
downgraded.
--- Base tables stars with DWB_* and dictionary view start with user_*, all_*, dba_*

20.​ What are Dynamic performance tables and views?

Answer:
--- Oracle maintains a set of virtual tables that record current database activity. These tables are
called dynamic performance tables.
--- Dynamic performance tables are not true tables, and they should not be accessed by most users.
However, database administrators can query and create views on the tables and grant access to those
views to other users.
--- SYS owns the dynamic performance tables, their names all begin with V$.
--- V$FIXED_TABLE view contains information about all of the dynamic performance tables and views in the
database.

21.​ What is Database Object Metadata?

Answer:
--- The DBMS_METADATA package provides interfaces for extracting complete definitions of database
objects.

22.​ What are fixed objects in database?

Answer:
--- Fixed objects are the X$ tables and their indexes. V$ performance views are defined
through X$ tables.
--- Gathering fixed object statistics is valuable for database performance, because these statistics
help the optimizer generate good execution plans
Example:
SQL> execute dbms_stats.gather_fixed_objects_stats;

--- How to check dictionary and fixed objects statistics (Doc ID 1474937.1)

31.​ What are free buffer?

Answer:
--- Free buffers do not contain any useful data and are available for use/write.

32.​ What is cache hit and cache miss?

Answer:
--- User query find the block from buffer cache then it’s a buffer hit, it directly read from the
memory.
--- User query did not find the block from buffer then it’s a buffer miss, it must copy the data block
from a datafile on disk into a buffer in the cache before accessing the data

33.​ What is log buffer?

Answer:
--- The Log Buffer is a circular buffer which contain the change records or change vector when server
process modified the blocks on buffer cache.
--- These log buffer can be flushed to online redo logs regularly
--- LOG_BUFFER is the parameter we can set it, this is static parameter.

34.​ What is shared pool?

Answer:
--- The shared pool portion of the SGA contains the library cache, the data dictionary cache.
--- SHARED_POOL_SIZE is a parameter to set it, this is dynamic parameter

35.​ What is library cache in shared pool?

Answer:
--- The Library Cache is a piece of memory within the SGA that Oracle uses in order to store SQL
Statements.
--- Library cache holds the parsed representation of sqls.

36.​ What is data dictionary cache in shared pool?

Answer:
--- The data dictionary cache also stores descriptive information, or metadata, about schema objects
which are accessed during query execution.
--- Oracle Database accesses the data dictionary frequently during SQL statement parsing, these access
data dictionary objects are kept under this data dictionary cache.

37.​ What is large pool?

Answer:
--- large pool to provide large memory allocations for I/O, RMAN backup and recoveries
--- LARGE_POOL_SIZE is a parameter to set it, this is dynamic parameter

38.​ What are java pool and stream pool?

Answer:
--- Java pool memory is used in server memory for all session-specific Java code and data within the
JVM
--- Stream pool will be used for oracle stream process. If a Streams pool is not defined, then one is
created automatically when Streams is first used.
--- JAVA_POOL_SIZE is a parameter to set it, this is dynamic parameter
--- STREAMS_POOL_SIZE is a parameter to set it, this is dynamic parameter

--- SELECT spid, pname, username, program, tracefile FROM v$process WHERE pname LIKE 'DBW%';
SQL> show parameters db_writer

45.​ What is user process or server process?

Answer:
--- Oracle Database creates server processes to handle the requests of user processes connected to an
instance

database. Checkpoints are recorded in the control file and in each data file header

53.​ What is arch process and is this mandatory process?

Answer:
--- Archive process is not a mandatory process.
--- If the database is in archive log mode, then the archive process will be started, Archive process
is responsible for generating the archive logs (copying the online redo logs as a separate backup file)
--- This arch process is responsible to transferring these arched redo logs from PROD to DR in case of
DataGuard setup.
 54.​ What is archive log mode and no-archive log mode? How can I change these modes?
Answer:
--- These are 2 database modes where you can open your database in archive log or noarchive log mode.
--- Most of the Production DBs are in archive log mode.
--- In Archivelog mode database will help in copying online redo logs files as backups files called
archived log files. Online redo logs will be copied as archived redo logs before it overwritten.
--- In noarchive log modes redo log files will not be copied as archived redo log and these online redo
logs will be overwritten.
--- We can switch the database mode from Archivelog mode to noarchivelog mode or vice versa in database
mount state

startup mount;
alter database archivelog; or alter database noarchivelog;
alter database open;
