Performing Backup and Recovery

Question

Given below is a list of scenarios: 1. A user terminates his session abnormally. 2. The connection between the server and the client application terminates because of a network failure. 3. A schema is accidentally dropped. 4. The tablespace is accidentally dropped from the database. 5. The hard disk gets corrupted and the data files in the disk are lost. 6. The database instance abnormally shuts down because of power failure. Which scenarios require DBA intervention to perform recovery?

Options

  • A1, 3, and 6
  • B4, 5, and 6
  • C3, 4, and 5
  • D1, 2, and 6

Why each option

Oracle automatically recovers from instance, session, and network failures via background processes (SMON, PMON), but logical or physical data loss scenarios require DBA intervention.

A1, 3, and 6

Scenario 1 (abnormal session termination) and scenario 6 (instance shutdown from power failure) are handled automatically by Oracle background processes PMON and SMON respectively, requiring no DBA intervention.

B4, 5, and 6

Scenario 6 (power failure causing abnormal shutdown) is automatically handled by SMON performing instance recovery on the next startup, so it does not require DBA intervention.

C3, 4, and 5Correct

Scenarios 3, 4, and 5 all require DBA intervention because they involve permanent logical or physical data loss. A dropped schema or tablespace cannot be automatically recovered and requires the DBA to use import/export, flashback, or media recovery. A corrupted hard disk with lost data files requires the DBA to perform media recovery from backups.

D1, 2, and 6

Scenarios 1 and 2 involve session and connection failures that are automatically resolved by the PMON background process cleaning up orphaned sessions and transactions, requiring no DBA action.
