Which three types of statistics are captured by statspack with snap level 6?
Statspack is a performance diagnostic tool provided by Oracle prior to the introduction of the Automatic Workload Repository (AWR). At snap level 6, Statspack captures the following types of statistics:
A (Correct): Parent and child latches are captured. Latch statistics provide information about contention for latches, which are low-level serialization mechanisms used by Oracle.
E (Correct): Enqueue statistics, which provide information on the waits for locks that manage the concurrency between users.
F (Correct): Segment-level statistics, which provide detailed information on database segments such as tables, indexes, etc., to identify I/O and contention issues.
C (Incorrect): While optimizer execution plans are an essential aspect of performance tuning, detailed execution plan capture is not part of the Statspack report at level 6.
D (Incorrect): Plan usage data refers to how frequently a plan is being used, which is more associated with AWR and not typically captured in Statspack reports.
Which Optimizer component helps decide whether to use a nested loop join or a hash join in an adaptive execution plan?
In an adaptive execution plan, the Optimizer makes runtime decisions between nested loop and hash joins using a statistics collector. The collector is a row source that collects statistics about the rows it processes and can adapt the plan based on the number of rows processed.

Which two options are part of a Soft Parse operation?
During a soft parse, Oracle checks the shared SQL area to see if an incoming SQL statement matches one already in the shared pool. This operation includes syntax and semantic checks. The syntax check ensures the statement is properly formed, and the semantic check confirms that all the objects referenced in the SQL statement exist and that the user has the necessary privileges to access them.

Which two actions can cause invalidation or loss of one or more results in the SQL Query Result Cache?
The SQL Query Result Cache stores the results of queries and PL/SQL function calls for reuse. However, entries in the result cache can be invalidated or lost under certain conditions:
A) Results can be aged out of the cache when the cache becomes full and new results need to be stored. This process ensures that the cache does not exceed its allocated memory and that it contains the most recently used entries.
B) Setting the RESULT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE parameter to 0 will effectively disable the result cache and all cached results will be lost, as Oracle will no longer allocate any memory to the result cache.

Which three statements are true about using the in Memory (IM) column store?
The Oracle In-Memory (IM) column store feature enhances the performance of databases by providing a fast columnar storage format for analytical workloads while also potentially benefiting OLTP workloads.
C (True): It can improve OLTP workload performance by providing a faster access path for full table scans and reducing the need for indexes in certain scenarios, as the In-Memory store allows for efficient in-memory scans.
E (True): The In-Memory column store does not require all database data to fit in memory. It can be used selectively for performance-critical tables or partitions, and Oracle Database will manage the population and eviction of data as needed.
F (True): In-Memory column store can significantly improve performance for queries joining several tables, especially when bloom filters are used, as they are highly efficient with the columnar format for large scans and join processing.
The other options provided are not correct in the context of the In-Memory column store:
A (False): While In-Memory column store is designed for analytical queries rather than caching results of function evaluations, it does not specifically avoid improving performance for queries using cached results of function evaluations.
B (False): In-Memory column store can improve the performance of queries that use join groups, which can be used to optimize joins on columns from different tables.
D (False): In-Memory column store can improve the performance of queries using expressions, including user-defined virtual columns, because it supports expression statistics which help in optimizing such queries.
