Question

A database link must be created to connect a source Autonomous Database to target on premises database. Examine this command:

Which two options are true?

Exhibit

1Z0-116 question #6 exhibit

Options

  • AThe target database wallet can be uploaded to the data_pctmp_dtr directory.
  • BThe db_link_cred parameter stores the password in a wallet.
  • CThe db__link__cred references the credential for the username and password for the target
  • DThe credential_nam?parameter automatically creates the credential object store.
  • EThe database link port Is not correct because It must be restricted to 1521.
  • FOnly data_pump_dir directory can be used to store credential wallets.

Explanation

Options B and D are correct because, in Oracle Autonomous Database, the db_link_cred (credential) parameter securely stores the target database password inside an Oracle Wallet rather than as plain text - and when you supply the credential_name parameter to DBMS_CLOUD_ADMIN.CREATE_DATABASE_LINK, it automatically provisions the underlying credential object store, so you don't need to create it manually beforehand.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A - The directory name data_pctmp_dtr is not a valid or recognized directory for wallet uploads; only sanctioned directories (such as DATA_PUMP_DIR) are permitted.
  • C - The parameter name db__link__cred (double underscores) is syntactically incorrect; the real parameter is credential_name or db_link_cred, so this option mixes up naming and is misleading.
  • E - The port is not restricted to 1521; Oracle database links support other valid port numbers depending on the listener configuration of the target.
  • F - Multiple directories can store credential wallets, so the "only DATA_PUMP_DIR" claim is too restrictive and false.

Memory tip: Think "B = Bevault (wallet security), D = Done-for-you credential store" - Autonomous DB handles wallet encryption (B) and auto-creates the credential object so you don't have to (D). Any option claiming a hard restriction (port must be 1521, only one directory allowed) is almost always a trap on Oracle exams.
