1z0-071 Exam Dumps - Oracle Database 12c SQL

A. True, a single table column can be included in both a unique index and a non-unique index, provided they are different indexes.

D. True, an invisible index is maintained during DML operations, which means it is updated when insert, update, or delete operations are performed on the table. However, it is not used by the optimizer by default for query execution unless explicitly hinted or the session is altered to consider invisible indexes.

E. True, an index can be specified in the CREATE TABLE statement using the INDEX clause to create an index on a specific column at the time of table creation.

B, C, and F are not correct: B. A descending index is simply an index that is sorted in descending order, not a type of function-based index. C. A DROP INDEX

The query's goal is to return a list of countries that have no departments linked to them.

Option B and Option D are the correct answers because they use set operations that will effectively return countries that do not have a corresponding entry in the departments table:

Option B uses the NOT IN subquery to exclude countries that have departments linked to them. It looks for country_id values in the countries table that are not present in the list of country_id values associated with locations that are, in turn, associated with departments. This will correctly return countries that have no departments.

Option D uses the MINUS set operator, which subtracts the results of the second SELECT statement from the results of the first. This statement will return all countries from the countries table minus those that have an associated department_id in the departments table, effectively listing countries with no departments.

Option A and Option C are incorrect because:

Option A will not execute successfully as it tries to join tables using a column (country_id) that doesn't exist in the departments table, which will lead to an error.

Option C's use of INTERSECT is incorrect for this requirement. INTERSECT returns only the rows that exist in both queries. Since we want countries with no departments, using INTERSECT would actually return the opposite of what is required.

Therefore, the correct options are B and D, which use subquery exclusion and the MINUS set operator, respectively, to accurately identify and return countries without departments.

B. True. CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns the current date and time in the session time zone, which is determined by the SESSIONTIMEZONE setting.

E. True. CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns a value of the data type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.

A and D are incorrect because CURRENT_TIMESTAMP reflects the session time zone, not DBTIMEZONE. C is incorrect because CURRENT_DATE returns the current date with no time component, whereas CURRENT_TIMESTAMP includes both date and time. F is incorrect because SYSTIMESTAMP returns the current date and time from the system clock in the time zone of the database server, which can differ from the session's time zone affecting CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.

A. True, the owner of an object in Oracle automatically has all privileges on that object. This means they can perform any operation on the object, including SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and so forth.C. True, the REFERENCES privilege must be granted explicitly by the table owner to another user or role to allow the grantee to define foreign key constraints that reference the primary or unique key of the owner's table. This is crucial in scenarios involving relational integrity constraints across tables owned by different users.

A. Schema owners indeed can grant privileges on objects in their schema to other users or roles, making this statement true.

B. Roles in Oracle can be granted both object and system privileges, making this statement true as well.

C. Not all types of schema objects have associated object privileges. For example, synonyms do not have object privileges because they are just aliases for other objects.

D. The DBA role is a powerful role, but creating roles can be done by any user granted the necessary privileges, not just users with the DBA role.

E. Object privileges on a table do not automatically apply to all synonyms for that table. Synonyms are separate objects that must have privileges granted explicitly.

F. The privilege to grant system privileges is controlled by the GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE system privilege, making this statement true.

This SQL query checks for product IDs (prod_id) from the costs table where the promotion ID (promo_id) is associated with promotions whose costs are less than the maximum promotional cost of all promotions, grouped by the duration of each promotion (calculated as promo_end_date - promo_begin_date). The query is correctly written to fulfill these conditions.

The subquery SELECT MAX(promo_cost) FROM promotions GROUP BY (promo_end_date - promo_begin_date) computes the maximum cost of promotions grouped by their duration, returning the highest cost for each distinct promotion length.

The WHERE promo_cost < ALL (...) clause then filters out the promotions where the promo_cost is less than all of the maximum costs returned by the subquery, ensuring that only promo_ids associated with costs less than the highest cost for any promotion length are considered.

Since this logical structure correctly implements the given requirement, the statement executes successfully and yields the correct results.

In Oracle SQL, the correct way to check for non-null values is to use the IS NOT NULL condition. Using != NULL or <> NULL is incorrect because NULL represents the absence of any value, and you cannot use equality or inequality operators to check for NULL.

C. SELECT cust_first_name, cust_credit_limit * .05 AS DUE_AMOUNT FROM customers WHERE cust_income_level IS NOT NULL AND cust_credit_limit IS NOT NULL; This query will correctly filter out any customers with a NULL income level or credit limit and then calculate the due amount as 5% of their credit limit for the remaining customers.

The SQL UPDATE statement is used to modify existing records in a table. In the given statement, there is a subquery that selects the JOB_ID and SALARY of EMPLOYEE_ID 200 and sets these values to the corresponding columns of EMPLOYEE_ID 100.

B. Employee 100 will have SALARY set to the same value as the SALARY of employee 200: This is true because the subquery selects the SALARY of employee 200 and the outer update statement sets this SALARY to employee 100.

C. Employee 100 will have JOB_ID set to the same value as the JOB_ID of employee 200: Similarly, the JOB_ID for employee 100 is updated to match the JOB_ID of employee 200 because of the subquery.
