When you are upgrading a database to Oracle Database 12c, which of the following options are true?
  • A.
    Any version of an Oracle 10g or Oracle 11g database can be upgraded to Oracle Database 12c using DBUA.
  • B.
    Only the versions 10.2.0.5, 11.1.0.7, 11.2.0.2, 11.2.0.3, and 11.2.0.4 can be upgraded to 12.1.0.
  • C.
    Once upgraded to Oracle Database 12c, the upgraded database can only be downgraded to Oracle 11g.
  • D.
    When a 10.2.0.5 database is upgraded to Oracle Database 12c, it cannot be downgraded.
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
Oracle Database 12c gives the option to do a direct upgrade for all versions mentioned in option B, and not all versions as specified in option A. Option C is not correct because you cannot downgrade to any version of Oracle 11g. The lowest version you can down- grade to is 11.1.0.7 if you upgrade an 11g R1 or 10g R2 database. For 11.2 databases, you can downgrade to the version from which you upgraded. Although a 10.2.0.5 data- base cannot be downgraded back to 10.2.0.5, it can be downgraded to 11.1.0.7, which might not be useful for your business.

  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [C, D]
Explanation :
DBUA has an option to back up the database prior to the upgrade. It’s up to you to back up the database after the upgrade is completed. There is no option to disable archiving during the upgrade. In fact, Oracle encourages you to run the database in ARCHIVELOG mode with flashback on, and DBUA can create a guaranteed restore point as a backup method during the upgrade.

Which of the following statements regarding the Pre-Upgrade utility preupgrd.sql are correct? (Choose two.)
  • A.
    It checks for space availability, user conflicts, role conflicts, initialization parameters, etc., and prepares fix-up scripts to take care of all issues.
  • B.
    The Pre-Upgrade Information utility does not make any changes to the database, but merely reports results.
  • C.
    preupgrd.sql is a standalone script and can be copied to another location to exe- cute on the database to be upgraded.
  • D.
    It recommends the amount of free space required in the SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespaces.
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B, D]
Explanation :
The Pre-Upgrade Information utility does not make any changes to the database. The utility creates a fix-up script that can be used to make trivial changes to the data- base. Not all issues can be fixed by the fix-up script; therefore, option A is not correct. The tool is comprised of preupgrd.sql and utluppkg.sql scripts, so you need to copy both scripts.
