Oracle Architectural Components

A 1.Which one of the following statements is true?
a. An Oracle server is a collection of data consisting of three file types.
b. A user establishes a connection with the database by starting an Oracle instance.
c. A connection is a communication pathway between the Oracle server and the Oracle
instance.
d. A session starts when a user is validated by the Oracle server.
B 2.Which one of the following memory areas is not part of the SGA?
a. Database Buffer Cache
b. PGA
c. Redo Log Buffer
d. Shared Pool
C 3.Which two of the following statements are true about the Shared Pool?
a. The Shared Pool consists of the Library Cache, Data Dictionary Cache, Shared SQL
area, Java Pool, and Large Pool.
b. The Shared Pool is used to store the most recently executed SQL statements.
c. The Shared Pool is used for an object that can be shared globally.
d. The Library Cache consists of the Shared SQL and Shared PL/SQL areas.
A 4.Which one of the following memory areas is used to cache the data dictionary
information?
a. Database Buffer Cache
b. PGA
c. Redo Log Buffer
d. Shared Pool
A 5.The primary purpose of the Redo Log Buffer is to record all changes to the
database data blocks.
a. True
b. False
A 6.The PGA is a memory region that contains data and control information for multiple
server processes or multiple background processes.
a. True
b. False
C 7.Which of the following becomes available when an Oracle instance is started?
a. User process
b. Server process
c. Background processes
8.Identify five mandatory background processes.

 Process Monitor Process (PMON)

 System Monitor Process (SMON)
 Database Writer Process (DBWn)
 Log Writer Process (LGWR)
 Checkpoint Process (CKPT)
 Manageability Monitor Processes (MMON and MMNL)
 Recoverer Process (RECO)

9.Match the process with its task.

a. Database Writer          1.Assists with writing to the data file headers
b. Log Writer                  2.Is responsible for instance recovery
c. System Monitor           3.Cleans up after failed processes
d. Process Monitor          4.Records database changes for recovery purposes
e. Checkpoint                 5.Writes dirty buffers to the data files
B 10.The physical structure of an Oracle database consists of control files, data files,
and online redo log files.
a. True
b. False
D 11.Place the following structures in order of hierarchy beginning with database.
a. Tablespaces
b. Extent
c. Segment
d. Database
e. Block
12.Identify the components of an Oracle server.
The components that make up the core of Oracle Application Server are the Oracle
HTTP Server, Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE, and OracleAS Web
Cache.

13.Identify the components of an Oracle instance.

 Buffer cache.
 Log buffer.
 Shared pool.
 Program Global Area (PGA)
 The in-memory V$ structures.

14.Identify three file types that make up an Oracle database.

Each tablespace in an Oracle database consists of one or more files called datafiles,
which are physical structures that conform to the operating system in which Oracle is
running.

Oracle-Managed Files
 Tablespaces.
 Redo log files.
 Control files.
