1z0-084 Exam Dumps - Oracle Certification Questions and Answers

When both a SQL Profile and a SQL Plan Baseline are in place, the SQL Profile has a stronger preference and the optimizer is more likely to choose the execution plan from the SQL Profile.

C. A SQL Profile is generally more influential than a SQL Plan Baseline because it contains additional statistics and directives that help the optimizer to generate a more efficient execution plan. If both exist, the optimizer will use the profile's plan unless the baseline's plan is proven to be better through the SQL performance monitoring process.

E. SQL Plan Baselines must be accepted before they can be used by the optimizer. If a SQL Plan Baseline is not accepted, it will not be considered for generating the execution plan. Therefore, the presence of an unaccepted SQL Plan Baseline will not automatically force the optimizer to use its plan.

The SHRINK SPACE operation compacts the table, which can reduce fragmentation and thus improve performance for sequential reads of the table. This operation could improve full table scans, which are typically associated with db file sequential read wait events.

When you executeDBMS_AUTO_TASK_ADMIN.DISABLE, it disables all automated maintenance tasks related to the Auto Task framework. This includes tasks such as the Automatic SQL Tuning Advisor, Automatic Segment Advisor, and others. However, the Automatic Optimizer Statistics Collection (D) remains enabled as it is not part of the Auto Task framework. The gathering of optimizer statistics is controlled separately and is a critical part of the database's self-tuning mechanism to ensure the optimizer has up-to-date information about the data distribution within tables and indexes.

TheDBMS_STATS.GATHER_DATABASE_STATSprocedure is used to gather statistics for all schema objects in the database that do not have up-to-date statistics. These statistics are essential for the optimizer to make informed decisions about the most efficient way to execute a query. The procedure collects statistics such as table and column statistics, index statistics, and system statistics, which are all used in the execution plan generation.
