In which of the scenario will the DBA perform recovery? (Choose all that apply.)

The correct answer is B. A tablespace is accidentally dropped E. The hard disk on which the data files is stored is corrupted. A DBA performs recovery only when actual database data structures are lost or physically damaged. Oracle background processes handle transient failures such as session crashes and single redo log member loss automatically.

Why each option

A DBA performs recovery only when actual database data structures are lost or physically damaged. Oracle background processes handle transient failures such as session crashes and single redo log member loss automatically.

AThe alert log file is corrupted

The alert log is a plain-text diagnostic file outside the database structure used for logging events and errors; its corruption has no impact on database data and does not require any form of database recovery.

BA tablespace is accidentally droppedCorrect

A dropped tablespace permanently removes the tablespace and its associated datafiles from the database; the DBA must restore the datafiles from a backup and perform media recovery to bring them to a consistent state.

COne of the redo log members is corrupted

Oracle redo log groups are designed with multiple members for redundancy; if one member is corrupted but other members in the same group are intact, Oracle continues operating normally without requiring DBA recovery actions.

DA database user terminates the session abnormally

When a user disconnects abnormally, the PMON (Process Monitor) background process automatically detects the orphaned process, releases its resources, and rolls back any uncommitted transactions without requiring DBA intervention.

EThe hard disk on which the data files is stored is corruptedCorrect

Corruption of the hard disk holding datafiles results in physical media loss that Oracle cannot recover automatically; the DBA must restore the affected datafiles from backup and apply archived redo logs to recover to the point of failure.
