Answer Posted / umesh h
1.If Buffer cache hit ratio is less then 85%.
2.Hot backup is online backup(means we can take backup when
database is up and running.ie Alter database begin backup
mode;
Cold backup is offline backup(means taking backup when
database is shutdown gracefully.ie at O/S level using copy
command.)
3.Create controlfile dynamicaly.
4.create spfile from pfile;
startup force;
5.oracle stores data interms of datablocks
group of datablocks is known as extent.
group of extents make a segment.
6.Truncate=delete+commit(as it is a DDL command)
Delete= as it is a DML command we can rollback the
transaction.
7.reason behind using index is to increase query
performance.(most suitable for DWH).
