QUESTION 5
USER_DATA is a nonencrypted tablespace that contains a set of tables with data. You want to convert all existing data in the USER_DATA tablespace and the new data into the encrypted format.
Which methods would you use to achieve this? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Use Data Pump to transfer the existing data to a new encrypted tablespace.
B. Use ALTER TABLE..MOVE to transfer the existing data to a new encrypted tablespace.
C. Use CREATE TABLE AS SELECT to transfer the existing data to a new encrypted tablespace.
D. Enable row movement for each table to be encrypted and then use ALTER TABLESPACE to encrypt the tablespace.
E. Encrypt the USER_DATA tablespace using the ALTER TABLESPACE statement so that all the data in the tablespace is automatically encrypted.

The following are restrictions for encrypted tablespaces:
-
You cannot encrypt an existing tablespace with an
ALTER
TABLESPACE
statement. However, you can use Data Pump or SQL statements such asCREATE
TABLE
AS
SELECT
orALTER
TABLE
MOVE
to move existing table data into an encrypted tablespace. -
Encrypted tablespaces are subject to restrictions when transporting to another database. See "Limitations on Transportable Tablespace Use".
-
When recovering a database with encrypted tablespaces (for example after a
SHUTDOWN
ABORT
or a catastrophic error that brings down the database instance), you must open the Oracle wallet after database mount and before database open, so the recovery process can decrypt data blocks and redo.
