Oracle 1Z0-076 Exam - Topic 7 Question 32 Discussion

Actual exam question for Oracle's 1Z0-076 exam

Question #: 32
Topic #: 7

[All 1Z0-076 Questions]

You must design an Oracle Data Guard configuration for a DSS database that meets these permanent

requirements:

1. Creating and maintaining bitmap indexes should not impact the performance of the primary database.

2. Creating and maintaining materialized views should not impact the performance of the primary database.

Additionally, there are these requirements, only one of which is ever done at any one time:

1. It should be possible to apply designated patches with a minimum amount of downtime.

2. Upgrading to a new database release should be performed with the least possible amount of downtime.

3. New application software releases should be tested against an exact and up-to-date replica of the primary database.

Which configuration meets these requirements with the fewest of databases?

Aa primary database with one logical standby database

Ba primary database with two logical standby databases

Ca primary database with one physical standby database

Da primary database with two physical standby databases

EA primary database with one logical and one physical standby database

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Logical standby databases allow the execution of DDL and DML operations, which makes them suitable for maintaining bitmap indexes and materialized views without affecting the performance of the primary database .

Logical standby databases can be used for performing rolling upgrades and patching with minimum downtime, meeting another requirement .

They also enable the testing of new application software releases against an up-to-date replica of the primary database, fulfilling the last requirement.

Other configurations involving physical standby databases or combinations of logical and physical standby databases might not meet all the specified requirements as efficiently or with the same level of performance isolation for the primary database.

Wait, can you really do all that with just one database?

A primary with one logical standby is usually the way to go!

I think two logical standbys could be overkill for this.

Isn't a physical standby better for performance?

I’m leaning towards option E because it seems to cover both performance and testing needs, but I’m not entirely sure if it minimizes the number of databases as required.

I feel like a physical standby might be better for patching and upgrades, but I’m not confident if it meets all the requirements without impacting the primary database.

I think we practiced a question like this where having both logical and physical standby databases was beneficial, but I can't recall the exact details.

I remember that logical standby databases can help with performance since they allow for read operations, but I'm not sure if one is enough for all the requirements.

Hmm, I'm not sure. There are a lot of factors to consider here. I'll need to carefully read through the requirements again and make sure I understand the implications of each option.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Based on the requirements, I think the answer is clear - a primary database with one logical standby should be the most efficient configuration.

I'm a bit confused by the different standby options. I'll need to review the differences between logical and physical standby databases to determine the best fit.

Okay, let's see. The key is to meet all the requirements with the fewest number of databases. I think I have a strategy to approach this.

Option E for the win! Maintaining an exact replica of the primary database for testing new applications sounds like a dream come true. *wink*

Hmm, Option D with two physical standby databases? That's a lot of databases, but it might be overkill. I'd prefer a more streamlined solution.

Option B looks good to me. Two logical standby databases would provide the necessary flexibility and redundancy.

Having multiple standby databases definitely helps in maintaining an up-to-date replica for testing new application software releases against the primary database.
