Which two statements are true about Database Vault rules and rule sets?

Question

Options

• AYou must create a rule set for a rule, before creating the rule.
• BYou con reference Oracle-supplied rules In rule sets that you create.
• CIf a rule set Is disabled. It Is evaluated to true without having Its rules evaluated.
• DA given rule can be added to only one rule set.
• EDeleting a rule set also deletes all the rules that have been added to It.

• B
  5% (1)
• C
  95% (18)

Explanation

C is correct because Oracle Database Vault treats a disabled rule set as automatically evaluating to TRUE - it bypasses rule evaluation entirely and grants access. This is a deliberate design choice: disabling a rule set is meant to "open" it, not block it.

D is correct because rules in Database Vault are bound to a single rule set; you cannot share or reuse a rule across multiple rule sets. If you need the same logic in two rule sets, you must create separate rule objects.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A - Backwards. Rules and rule sets are created independently; you create a rule first, then add it to a rule set.
• B - You cannot reference Oracle-supplied (internal) rules in custom rule sets; only user-defined rules are available for inclusion.
• E - Deleting a rule set is non-cascading. The rules inside it remain as standalone objects in the database.

Memory tip: Think of a disabled rule set like an unlocked door - it defaults to open (TRUE) rather than closed. And think of rules like assigned employees - each belongs to one team (rule set), not shared across departments.
