Oracle 1z0-1195-25 Oracle Data Platform 2025 Foundations Associate Exam Practice Test

When registering "Exadata Cloud@Customer" in an OCI region, you must "consider any business policies or regulations that preclude the use of a particular region" (A), as compliance (e.g., data residency laws) dictates region selection. You should also "consider the physical proximity of the region you register the infrastructure into your data center" (D), as proximity reduces latency for control plane interactions. Option B is false because, despite being hosted on-premises, Exadata Cloud@Customer is registered in an OCI region for management. Option C is incorrect, as the region cannot be changed post-creation without significant reconfiguration. Oracle’s documentation highlights these considerations for region selection.

The "MySQL Database Service" on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure uses "Block Volume Storage" (C) for all data storage. Block Volume provides high-performance, persistent block storage that is directly attached to compute instances running the MySQL database, ensuring low-latency access for transactional and operational workloads. "Archive Storage" (A) is for long-term, infrequently accessed data, "Object Storage" (B) is for unstructured data, and "File Storage" (D) is for shared file systems—none of which suit the primary storage needs of a MySQL database. Oracle’s MySQL Database Service documentation confirms Block Volume as the default storage platform.

Two important reasons to upgrade and patch are "Support Compliance" (A), ensuring the database remains under Oracle’s support policy with access to updates, and "Security" (C), applying patches to mitigate vulnerabilities and protect data. "Validation of application" (B) is a byproduct, not a primary reason, and "Restructure the database" (D) is unrelated to patching. Oracle’s maintenance guides emphasize compliance and security as key drivers.

The most important reason to upgrade and patch is "Security" (A). Patches address vulnerabilities, protecting against exploits and ensuring compliance, which outweighs "Fix bugs" (C) in priority. "Restructure the database" (B) is unrelated to patching, and "Upgrading and patching the database is not important" (D) is false. Oracle’s security guidelines prioritize patching for protection.

The "Autonomous JSON Database" is "Accessed via document APIs" (A), such as SODA, for NoSQL-style operations, and offers "Instant auto-scaling" (D) for compute and storage with no downtime. "Applications cannot be built without SQL" (B) is false, as document APIs suffice, and "A DBA is required" (C) is incorrect due to its self-managing nature. Oracle’s documentation highlights these autonomous and API-driven features.

"Oracle Exadata Cloud Service" (B) offers expanded flexibility with shared or dedicated Exadata infrastructure, allowing customers to choose between cost-effective shared resources or isolated dedicated hardware for performance and compliance needs. "Oracle Database Cloud Service" (A) is VM-based and lacks Exadata’s hardware integration, "Oracle Autonomous Database" (C) is fully managed without hardware choice, and "Oracle Exalogic Cloud Service" (D) is an outdated middleware platform, not database-focused. Oracle’s documentation highlights Exadata Cloud Service’s deployment options.

The primary goal of "Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture" (MAA) is "Active Replication, Data Protection and continuous availability" (B). MAA is designed to ensure high availability and disaster recovery through active replication (e.g., Data Guard), data protection (e.g., backups), and continuous availability (minimal downtime). Option A includes "network security," which issecondary, not primary. Option C focuses on "reporting," which is unrelated, and D emphasizes "scale out," which is a feature, not the goal. Oracle’s MAA documentation defines these core objectives.

The "Autonomous Database" offers self-service tools like "Oracle Machine Learning" (B), enabling users to build ML models directly in the database, and "Low-Code App Dev, APEX" (C), allowing rapid application development via Oracle APEX. "Business Objects" (A) is a third-party BI tool, not native to ADB, and "Encryption only in Object Storage" (D) is a feature, not a tool, and inaccurate (encryption is broader). Oracle’s documentation highlights OML and APEX as key self-service capabilities.

In the Autonomous Database (ADB), "Data Insights" (B) is the tool to discover anomalies, outliers, and hidden patterns, leveraging built-in AI and ML capabilities to analyze data. "Data Load" (A) is for importing data, "Data Transforms" (C) is for data preparation, and "Catalog" (D) is for metadata (OCI Data Catalog). Oracle’s documentation identifies Data Insights for pattern detection.

To create or modify Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) resources, "OCI REST APIs" (A) and "OCI Command-line Interface (CLI)" (C) are two primary methods. OCI REST APIs allow programmatic management of resources via HTTP requests, while the OCI CLI provides a command-line tool for scripting and automation. "Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)" (B) is for accessing Windows-based systems, not OCI resource management, and "Secure Shell (SSH)" (D) is for accessing compute instances, not broadly creating or modifying resources. Oracle’s OCI documentation confirms REST APIs and CLI as standard management tools.

In the Oracle Data Platform, the "Supply Side" refers to foundational data elements that are passively collected and structured to provide meaning within the data ecosystem. According to Oracle’s official documentation, the supply side includes "Business rules" (A), which define the logic and policies governing data usage, ensuring consistency and compliance, and "Domain objects" (B), which represent structured entities or concepts within a business domain, forming the backbone of data modeling. "Technical definitions of business terms" (C) pertain to metadata management, and "Reports" (D) are outputs rather than core supply-side models. Oracle’s Data Platform Foundations emphasize business rules and domain objects as key components of the supply side for data integration and processing.

"Compartments" (B) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) allow you to logically group and isolate resources for organization, access control, and billing. "Identity and Access Management Groups" (A) organize users, not resources. "Tenancy" (C) is the root container for all resources, not a grouping mechanism, and "Availability Domain" (D) is a physical data center division, not a logical grouping tool. Oracle’s OCI documentation identifies Compartments as the primary feature for resource isolation and management.

"Oracle SQLcl" (SQL Developer Command Line) is a lightweight, command-line interface for interacting with Oracle Databases. It has two key characteristics: "Tracks database schema changes" (B), through integration with tools like Liquibase, allowing DBAs to monitor and manage schema evolution; and "Ability to execute SQL batch files" (C), enabling automation of multiple SQL statements in scripts. "Creates isolated development environments" (A) is not a feature of SQLcl, as it’s a client tool, not a virtualization platform. "Available in the OCI Cloud Shell by default" (D) is incorrect, as OCI Cloud Shell provides a general terminal but does not pre-install SQLcl. Oracle’s SQLcl documentation confirms these capabilities.

The "OCI Data Catalog" has two true characteristics: "Harvest object storage to derive schemas" (B), as it scans OCI Object Storage to extract metadata and schemas, and "Discover data using powerful search" (C), offering robust search capabilities for data discovery. "Management is required" (A) is vague and not a defining trait, and "Data Catalog does not integrate with Autonomous Database" (D) is false, as it integrates seamlessly for metadata management. Oracle’s documentation confirms these features.

The "MySQL Database Service" on OCI uses "Block Volume Storage" (D) for all data storage, providing high-performance, persistent block storage attached to compute instances for database operations. "Object Storage" (A) is for unstructured data, "Flash Local Storage" (B) is temporary and instance-specific, and "File Storage" (C) is for shared file systems—none suit MySQL’s needs. Oracle’s MySQL Service documentation confirms Block Volume as the standard.

The default configuration for automatic database backups in OCI (e.g., Autonomous Database) includes "Backups occur weekly" (A), with daily incremental and weekly full backups. "Archive redo log files are backed up every 30 minutes" (B) is not default (it’s real-time logging), "Retention period is set at 14 days" (C) is incorrect (default is 60 days), and "Backups are executed on primary site" (D) is vague but not a standard config statement. Oracle’s backup documentation specifies weekly full backups as default.

In OCI Identity and Access Management (IAM), "Groups" (A) is the capability that helps organize multiple users into teams. Groups allow administrators to assign permissions collectively to a set of users, simplifying access management. "Policies" (B) define permissions but don’t organize users, "Users" (C) are individual accounts, and "Roles" (D) are not a distinct IAM construct in OCI (unlike other clouds). Oracle’s IAM documentation identifies Groups as the mechanism for team-based organization.

A prerequisite for running "APEX" (Application Express) on an Autonomous Database is provisioning "an Autonomous Database with the workload type Data Warehouse, TransactionProcessing, JSON, or APEX" (B). APEX is supported across these workload types, with ORDS (Oracle REST Data Services) pre-enabled. Option A is incorrect, as ORDS is automatically configured. Option C is too restrictive, as APEX isn’t limited to the APEX workload type alone. Option D is unnecessary, as user creation follows provisioning, not precedes it. Oracle’s Autonomous Database documentation confirms APEX availability across these workload types with no manual ORDS setup required.
