23. Examine thestructure proposed for the TRANSACTIONS table:
name Null Type
TRANS_ID NOT NULLNUMBER(6)
CUST_NAME NOT NULLVARCHAR2(20)
CUST_STATUS NOT NULLCHAR
TRANS_DATE NOT NULL DATE
TRANS_VALIDITY VARCHAR2
CUST_CREDIT_LIMIT NUMBER
Which statements aretrue regarding the creation and storage of data in the above table structure?
(Choose all that apply.)
A. The CUST_STATUScolumn would give an error.
B. The TRANS_VALIDITYcolumn would give an error.
C. The CUST_STATUScolumn would store exactly one character.
D. The CUST_CREDIT_LIMITcolumn would not be able to store decimal values.
E. The TRANS_VALIDITY columnwould have a maximum size of one character.
F. The TRANS_DATE columnwould be able to store day, month, century, year, hour, minutes, seconds,
and fractions ofseconds.
Answer: BC
解析：
引用官方文档：
The default length for a CHAR column is 1 byte and themaximum allowed is 2000
bytes. A 1-byte stringcan be inserted into a CHAR(10) column, but the string is
blank-padded to 10 bytesbefore it is stored.
所以C正确，A错误
You mustspecify a maximum length for a VARCHAR2 column.This maximum must be
at least 1 byte, althoughthe actual string stored is permitted to be a zero-length string
('').
所以B正确，E错误
引用官方文档的一个表格：
Actual Data Specified AsStored As
123.89 NUMBER 123.89
测试：
scott@ORCL>createtable zbcxy(id number);
表已创建。
scott@ORCL>insertinto zbcxy values(123.68);

D选项错误
The DATE data typestores date and time information. Although date and time
information can berepresented in both character and number data types, the DATE
data type has specialassociated properties. For each DATE value, Oraclestores the
followinginformation: year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

24. Examine thestructure proposed for the TRANSACTIONS table:
name Null Type
TRANS_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(6)
CUST_NAME NOT NULLVARCHAR2(20)
CUST_STATUS NOT NULLVARCHAR2
TRANS_DATE NOT NULL DATE
TRANS_VALIDITY INTERVALDAY TO SECOND
CUST_CREDIT_VALUENUMBER(10)
Which two statements aretrue regarding the storage of data in the above table structure? (Choose two.)
A. The TRANS_DATE columnwould allow storage of dates only in the dd-mon-yyyy format.
B. The CUST_CREDIT_VALUEcolumn would allow storage of positive and negative integers.
C. The TRANS_VALIDITYcolumn would allow storage of a time interval in days, hours, minutes, and
seconds.
D. The CUST_STATUScolumn would allow storage of data up to the maximum VARCHAR2 size of 4,000
characters.
Answer: BC
解析：
A选项中可以使用to_char设置多种格式
引用官方文档：
The NUMBER data typestores zero as well as positive and negativefixed numbers with
absolute values from 1.0x 10-130 to but not including 1.0 x 10126.
所以B正确
INTERVAL DAY TO SECONDstores a period of time in terms of days, hours,minutes,
and seconds. This data type is useful for representing the precisedifference between
two datetime values.
所以C正确
D选项根据上题可知，使用varchar类型，必须指定长度，所以D选项错误
25. You need to create atable with the following column specifications:
1. Employee ID (numericdata type) for each employee
2. Employee Name(character data type) that stores the employee name
3. Hire date, whichstores the date of joining the organization for each employee
4. Status (characterdata type), that contains the value 'ACTIVE' if no data is entered
5. Resume (characterlarge object [CLOB] data type), which contains the resume submitted by the
employee
Which is the correctsyntax to create this table?
A. CREATE TABLE EMP_1
(emp_id NUMBER(4),
emp_name VARCHAR2(25),
start_date DATE,
e_status VARCHAR2(10)DEFAULT 'ACTIVE',
resume CLOB(200));
B. CREATE TABLE 1_EMP
(emp_id NUMBER(4),
emp_name VARCHAR2(25),
start_date DATE,
emp_status VARCHAR2(10)DEFAULT 'ACTIVE',
resume CLOB);
C. CREATE TABLE EMP_1
(emp_id NUMBER(4),
emp_name VARCHAR2(25),
start_date DATE,
emp_status VARCHAR2(10)DEFAULT "ACTIVE",
resume CLOB);
D. CREATE TABLE EMP_1
(emp_id NUMBER,
emp_name VARCHAR2(25),
start_date DATE,
emp_status VARCHAR2(10)DEFAULT 'ACTIVE',
resume CLOB);
Answer: D
解析：
引用官方文档：
The CLOB data typestores single-byte and multibyte character data. Both fixed-width
and variable-widthcharacter sets are supported, and both use the database character set
使用clob无需指定长度，所以A错
B选项 表名不能以数字开头
C选项 default 用单引号
所以D正确
26. Which is the validCREATE TABLE statement?
A. CREATE TABLE emp9$#(emp_no NUMBER (4));
B. CREATE TABLE 9emp$#(emp_no NUMBER(4));
C. CREATE TABLE emp*123(emp_no NUMBER(4));
D. CREATE TABLE emp9$#(emp_no NUMBER(4), date DATE);
Answer: A
解析：
创建表时，表的名称必须是合法标示符，长度为1-30字节，并且以字母开头，可以包含字母，数字，下划线，美元符号和#，此外表名称不能与所属模式中其他对象同名，也不能是oracle数据库的保留字
由此判断B和C错误
D选项不能使用oracle中关键字作为属性名称
所以A正确
27. Which two statementsare true regarding tables? (Choose two.)
A. A table name can beof any length.
B. A table can have anynumber of columns.
C. A column that has aDEFAULT value cannot store null values.
D. A table and a viewcan have the same name in the same schema.
E. A table and a synonymcan have the same name in the same schema.
F. The same table namecan be used in different schemas in the same database.
Answer: EF
根据上题所知，表名的长度在1-30字节，所以A选项错误
B选项，测试：

28. Which two statementsare true regarding constraints? (Choose two.)
A. A foreign key cannot containNULL values.
B. A column with theUNIQUE constraint can contain NULL values.
C. A constraint isenforced only for the INSERT operation on a table.
D. A constraint can bedisabled even if the constraint column contains data.
E. All constraints can bedefined at the column level as well as the table level.
Answer: BD
解析：
选项A，如果参照表中有空值，则外键也可以为空值，可以采用
Insert into zbcxy valuesselecet ename from emp;这种方式将emp中ename的控制插入到zbcxy表中
所以选项A是错误的
B选项，很明显unique约束时可以是空值，这里就不演示测试了
C选项，明显错误，不止insert ，执行update操作也是必须遵守约束的
D选项，测试：
scott@ORCL>create table zbcxy(id number(4) constraint p_pk primary key);
表已创建。
scott@ORCL>insertinto zbcxy values(1);
已创建 1 行。
scott@ORCL>altertable zbcxy disable constraint p_pk;
表已更改。
所以D选项正确
E选项，非空约束只能定义列级约束，所以E选项是错误的
29. Which two statementsare true regarding constraints? (Choose two.)
A. A foreign key cannotcontain NULL values.
B. The column with aUNIQUE constraint can store NULLS .
C. A constraint isenforced only for an INSERT operation on a table.
D. You can have morethan one column in a table as part of a primary key.
Answer: BD
解析：
A选项，由上题可知是错误的
B选项，由上题可知是正确的
C选项，由上题可知是错误的
D选项，一个表中只能有虽然只有一个约束，但是可以建立一个联合主键约束，这样就有多列为主键约束，所以D选项正确

37. You issued thefollowing command to drop the PRODUCTS table:
SQL> DROP TABLEproducts;
What is the implicationof this command? (Choose all that apply.)
A. All data along withthe table structure is deleted.
B. The pendingtransaction in the session is committed.
C. All indexes on thetable will remain but they are invalidated.
D. All views andsynonyms will remain but they are invalidated.
E. All data in the tableare deleted but the table structure will remain.
Answer: ABD
解析：
引用官方文档：
table
Specify the name of the table to be dropped. OracleDatabase automatically performs
the following operations:
■ All rows from the table are dropped.
■ All table indexes and domain indexesare dropped, as well as any triggers defined
on the table, regardless of who created them or whoseschema contains them. If
table is partitioned, then any corresponding local indexpartitions are also
dropped.
If the table is a base table for a view, a container or master table of a materialized
view, or if it is referenced in a stored procedure,function, or package, then the
database invalidates these dependent objects but does not drop them. You cannot
use these objects unless you re-create the table or dropand re-create the objects so
that they no longer depend on the table.
当然oracle使用drop删除是数据和表结构一起删除，delete是只删除数据，当前和该表的事务也应当马上提交
38. Which two statementsare true regarding views? (Choose two.)
A. A simple view in which column aliases have been usedcannot be updated.
B. Rows cannot bedeleted through a view if the view definition contains the DISTINCT keyword.
C. Rows added through aview are deleted from the table automatically when the view is dropped.
D. The OR REPLACE optionis used to change the definition of an existing view without dropping and
re-creating it.
E. The WITH CHECK OPTIONconstraint can be used in a view definition to restrict the columns
displayed through theview.
Answer: BD
解析：
引用官方文档：
Specify names for the expressions selected by the definingquery of the view. The
number of aliases must match the number of expressionsselected by the view. Aliases
must follow the rules for naming Oracle Database schemaobjects. Aliases must be
unique within the view.
If you omit the aliases, then the database derives themfrom the columns or column
aliases in the query. For this reason, you must usealiases if the query contains
expressions rather than only column names. Also, you mustspecify aliases if the view
definition includes constraints.
所以选项A错误
You cannot delete from a view except through INSTEAD OFtriggers if the defining
query of the view contains one of the followingconstructs:
A set operator
A DISTINCT operator
An aggregate or analytic function
A GROUP BY, ORDER BY, MODEL, CONNECT BY, or START WITHclause
A collection expression in a SELECT list
A subquery in a SELECT list
A subquery designated WITH READ ONLY
Joins, with some exceptions, as documented in OracleDatabase Administrator's
Guide
所以B选项正确
对视图操作最终会转换对基表操作，所以之前在视图上的操作，视图被删除之后，依然会保留在表上
所以C选项错误
Specify OR REPLACE to re-create the view if it alreadyexists. You can use this clause to
change the definition of an existing view withoutdropping, re-creating, and
regranting object privileges previously granted on it.
所以D选项正确
Specify WITH CHECK OPTION to indicate that Oracle
Database prohibits any changes to the table or view thatwould produce rows that are
not included in the subquery. When used in the subqueryof a DML statement, you
can specify this clause in a subquery in the FROM clausebut not in subquery in the
WHERE clause
所以E选项错误
39. Evaluate thefollowing command:
CREATE TABLE employees
(employee_id NUMBER(2)PRIMARY KEY,
last_name VARCHAR2(25)NOT NULL,
department_idNUMBER(2)NOT NULL,
job_id VARCHAR2(8),
salary NUMBER(10,2));
You issue the followingcommand to create a view that displays the IDs and last names of the salesstaff
in the organization:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEWsales_staff_vu AS4 ? 4;
SELECT employee_id,last_name,job_id4 ? 4;
FROM employees4 ? 4;
WHERE job_id LIKE'SA_%'4 ? 4;
WITH CHECK OPTION;
Which two statements aretrue regarding the above view? (Choose two.)
A. It allows you toinsert rows into the EMPLOYEES table .
B. It allows you todelete details of the existing sales staff from the EMPLOYEES table.
C. It allows you toupdate job IDs of the existing sales staff to any other job ID in the EMPLOYEEStable.
D. It allows you to insertIDs, last names, and job IDs of the sales staff from the view if it is used in
multitable INSERTstatements.
Answer: BD
解析：
A选项，因为视图只有employee_id, last_name,job_id三个字段，无法进行插入操作，因为基表中的department_id是不允许为空的，而在视图中又不能指定department_id的值
所以A选项错误
B选项中，因为有创建视图时指定了last_name字段，所以视图可以根据last_name删除基表中数据
所以B选项正确
C选项，因为视图创建时，指定了WHERE job_id LIKE 'SA_%'4 ? 4;
WITH CHECK OPTION; 所以更改job_id也只能是'SA_%'4 ? 4这种格式
所以C选项错误
D选项 暂时不知道怎么实现
40. View the Exhibit toexamine the description for the SALES and PRODUCTS tables.
You want to create aSALE_PROD view by executing the following SQL statement:
CREATE VIEW sale_prod
AS SELECT p.prod_id,cust_id, SUM(quantity_sold) "Quantity" , SUM(prod_list_price)"Price"
FROM products p, sales s
WHERE p.prod_id=s.prod_id
GROUP BY p.prod_id,cust_id;
Which statement is trueregarding the execution of the above statement?
A. The view will becreated and you can perform DML operations on the view.
B. The view will becreated but no DML operations will be allowed on the view.
C. The view will not becreated because the join statements are not allowed for creating a view.
D. The view will not becreated because the GROUP BY clause is not allowed for creating a view.
Answer: B
解析：该视图为两个表连接的结果，所以不能dml操作的，因为做了相应的操作视图不知道最后应将操作转换为那个表
所以正确选项为B
41. Which two statementsare true regarding views? (Choose two.)
A. A subquery thatdefines a view cannot include the GROUP BY clause.
B. A view that iscreated with the subquery having the DISTINCT keyword can be updated.
C. A view that iscreated with the subquery having the pseudo column ROWNUM keyword cannot
be updated.
D. A data manipulationlanguage ( DML) operation can be performed on a view that is created with
the subquery having allthe NOT NULL columns of a table.
Answer: CD
解析：
由上题可知，A选项错误
You cannot delete from a view except through INSTEAD OFtriggers if the defining
query of the view contains one of the following constructs:
A set operator
A DISTINCT operator
An aggregate or analytic function
A GROUP BY, ORDER BY, MODEL, CONNECT BY, or START WITHclause
A collection expression in a SELECT list
A subquery in a SELECT list
A subquery designated WITH READ ONLY
Joins, with some exceptions, as documented in OracleDatabase Administrator's
Guide
所以B选项错误
C选项，rownum当然不可以被修改不管是在视图中，还是在表中
所以C选项正确
D选项，基表中如果没有非空约束，不管视图中的字段有多少，都可以进行操作，视图中没有的字段在基表中都默认为空
所以D选项正确
42. Which threestatements are true regarding views? (Choose three.)
A. Views can be createdonly from tables.
B. Views can be createdfrom tables or other views.
C. Only simple views canuse indexes existing on the underlying tables.
D. Both simple andcomplex views can use indexes existing on the underlying tables.
E. Complex views can becreated only on multiple tables that exist in the same schema.
F. Complex views can becreated on multiple tables that exist in the same or different schemas.
Answer: BDF
解析：
视图是可以根据视图创建的，所以A选项错误，B选项正确
C选项，复杂视图做一些操作时也可以使用基表中的索引
这里说明一下简单视图和复杂视图的定义：
简单视图：数据来源于基表，不包含函数，分组等，可以直接记性dml操作
复杂视图：来源于一个表或者多个表，可以包含连接，函数，分组等，能否直接进行dml操作取决于视图的具体定义
所以D选项正确
创建视图时候，只要指定该表属于哪个模式，是可以跨模式创建视图的，所以E选项错误
F选项正确
43. Evaluate thefollowing CREATE SEQUENCE statement:

44. View the Exhibit andexamine the structure of the ORD table.
Evaluate the followingSQL statements that are executed in a user session in the specified order:
CREATE SEQUENCE ord_seq;
SELECT ord_seq.nextval
FROM dual;
INSERT INTO ord
VALUES (ord_seq.CURRVAL,'25-jan-2007',101);
UPDATE ord
SET ord_no=ord_seq.NEXTVAL
WHERE cust_id =101;
What would be theoutcome of the above statements?
A. All the statementswould execute successfully and the ORD_NO column would contain the value 2 for
the CUST_ID 101.
B. The CREATE SEQUENCEcommand would not execute because the minimum value and maximum
value for the sequencehave not been specified.
C. The CREATE SEQUENCEcommand would not execute because the starting value of the sequence
and the increment valuehave not been specified.
D. All the statementswould execute successfully and the ORD_NO column would have the value 20 for
the CUST_ID 101 becausethe default CACHE value is 20.
Answer: A
这里主要考察oracle默认队列的一些值，测试：
scott@ORCL>create sequence zbcxy;
序列已创建。
scott@ORCL>select zbcxy.currval from dual;
select zbcxy.currval from dual
*
第 1 行出现错误:
ORA-08002: 序列 ZBCXY.CURRVAL 尚未在此会话中定义
scott@ORCL>select zbcxy.nextval from dual;
NEXTVAL
----------
1
可以看出序列默认的开始值为0，并且以1增长，最大值为：
Specify NOMAXVALUE to indicate a maximum value of 1028-1 for an
ascending sequence or -1for a descending sequence. This is the default
并且：nocycle
Specify NOCYCLE toindicate that the sequence cannot generate more
values after reachingits maximum or minimum value. This is the default.
所以正确答案为A
45. Which two statementsare true about sequences created in a single instance database? (Choose
two.)
A. The numbers generatedby a sequence can be used only for one table.
B. DELETE<sequencename> would remove a sequence from the database.
C. CURRVAL is used torefer to the last sequence number that has been generated.
D. When the MAXVALUElimit for a sequence is reached, you can increase the MAXVALUE limit by using
the ALTER SEQUENCEstatement.
E. When a databaseinstance shuts down abnormally, the sequence numbers that have been cached but
not used would beavailable once again when the database instance is restarted.
Answer: CD
解析：
一个序列可以被多个表使用，所以A选项错误
B选项，删除序列：
scott@ORCL>drop sequence zbcxy;
序列已删除。
C选项，当前值就是最后序列最后一次生成的值
D选项：
scott@ORCL>altersequence zbcxy maxvalue 10;
序列已更改。
E选项：
Specify NOCACHE to indicate that values of the sequence are not
preallocated. If youomit both CACHE and NOCACHE, then the database caches 20
sequence numbers by default.
46. Which statements arecorrect regarding indexes? (Choose all that apply.)
A. When a table isdropped, the corresponding indexes are automatically dropped.
B. A FOREIGN KEYconstraint on a column in a table automatically creates a nonunique index.
C. A nondeferrablePRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE KEY constraint in a table automatically creates a unique
index.
D. For each datamanipulation language (DML) operation performed, the corresponding indexes are
automatically updated.
Answer: ACD
解析：
引用官方文档：
All table indexes anddomain indexes are dropped, as well as any triggers defined
on the table, regardlessof who created them or whose schema contains them. If
table is partitioned,then any corresponding local index partitions are also
dropped.
所以A选项正确
B选项，外键不自动创建索引，主键和唯一约束自动创建约束
C选项 主键和唯一性约束自动创建索引，正确
D选项 执行dml操作，索引自动更新，正确
47. View the Exhibit andexamine the structure of ORD and ORD_ITEMS tables.
The ORD_NO column isPRIMARY KEY in the ORD table and the ORD_NO and ITEM_NO columns are
composite PRIMARY KEY inthe ORD_ITEMS table.
Which two CREATE INDEXstatements are valid? (Choose two.)
A. CREATE INDEX ord_idx1
ON ord(ord_no);
B. CREATE INDEX ord_idx2
ON ord_items(ord_no);
C. CREATE INDEX ord_idx3
ON ord_items(item_no);
ONord,ord_items(ord_no, ord_date,qty);
Answer: BC
解析：
主键自动创建索引，所以A选项错误
B选项和C选项，因为ord_no和item_no是联合主键，所以可以为它们单独创建索引
D选项：
CREATE INDEX ord_idx4
ON ord,ord_items(ord_no,ord_date,qty);
相当于创建了ord_no,ord_no和ord_date，ord_no和ord_date和qty三个索引
因为ord_no和ord_date索引由ord_no和ord_date联合主键自动创建
所以D选项错误
48. Which two statementsare true regarding indexes? (Choose two.)
A. They can be createdon tables and clusters.
B. They can be createdon tables and simple views.
C. You can create onlyone index by using the same columns.

combinations of thecolumns.
Answer: AD
解析：
索引可以表和clusters上面创建，所以A选项正确
索引是不能在视图上创建的，所以B选项错误
由上题D选项可得，C选项错误，D选项正确

C. A public synonym anda private synonym can exist with the same name for the same table.
D. The DROP SYNONYMstatement removes the synonym, and the table on which the synonym has
been created becomesinvalid.
Answer: C
解析：
A选项，除了表，还可以为其他对象创建同义词，引用官方文档：
Use the CREATE SYNONYMstatement to create a synonym, which is an alternative
name for a table, view,sequence, operator, procedure, stored function, package,
materialized view, Javaclass schema object, user-defined object type, or another
synonym. A synonymplaces a dependency on its target object and becomes invalid if
the target object is changedor dropped
B选项，引用官方文档：
Synonyms provide both data independence and location transparency. Synonyms
permit applications tofunction without modification regardless of which user owns
the table or view andregardless of which database holds the table or view. However,
synonyms are not asubstitute for privileges on database objects. Appropriate
privileges must begranted to a user before the user can use the synonym
C选项，测试：
scott@ORCL>createsynonym synonmy_emp for emp;
同义词已创建。
scott@ORCL>createpublic synonym synonmyz_emp for emp;
同义词已创建，
所以C选项正确
D选项，由上题可知，删除同义词对对象毫无影响

C. The column aliasshould be replaced with the expression in the WHERE clause.
D. The column aliasshould be put in uppercase and enclosed with in double quotation marks in the
WHERE clause.
Answer: C
解析：
Where 后面的条件是不能用别名的，可以直接使用前面的那个表达式，测试：
scott@ORCL>select sal+1000 "zbcxy" from emp where zbcxy<2000;
select sal+1000"zbcxy" from emp where zbcxy<2000
*
第 1 行出现错误:
