D. The ASSIGN_VAL function generates an error during compilation because the EXTEND method cannot be used with nested tables. 

Answer:

B. Do not use APIs that allow arbitrary query parameters to be exposed. 

C. Use the RESTRICT_REFERENCES clause in the PL/SQL subprogram that contains the code. 

D. Use DBMS_SQL to detect that the expression provided for P_WHERE_STMT is free from SQL injection. 

Answer:

Q9. Which three actions can be performed by using the DBMS_ASSERT package to prevent SQL injection? (Choose three.) 

A. Detect a wrong user. 

B. Check input string length. 

C. Verify qualified SQL names. D. Validate TNS connect strings.

Answer: C,E,F 

Q10. View the Exhibit. 

How do you reduce the chances of SQL injection for the procedure?

B. Remove the default value for the arguments in the procedure. 

C. Convert the condition in the WHERE clause to be accepted from the user and concatenated. 

D. Convert the SELECT statement to static SQL, placing the value of P_EMAIL into a local variable. 

Answer:

Q11. Examine the structure of the EMPLOYEES table in the SCOTT schema. Name Null? Type 

EMPLOYEE_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(6) 

FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(20) 

LAST_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(25) 

SALARY NOT NULL NUMBER(8,2) 

COMMISSION_PCT NUMBER(2,2) 

DEPARTMENT_ID NUMBER(4) 

View the Exhibit and examine the code for the EMP_TOTSAL procedure created by user SCOTT. 

Which statement is true regarding the EMP_TOTSAL procedure? 

A. It is created successfully, but displays the correct output message only for existent employee IDs. 

B. It is created successfully and displays the correct output message for both existent and nonexistent employee IDs. 

C. It generates an error because the %NOTFOUND attribute cannot be used in combination with a SELECT INTO statement. 

D. It generates an error because a user-defined exception has to be included whenever the %NOTFOUND attribute is used in combination with a SELECT INTO statement. 

Answer:

Q12. Which two statements are true about the working of fine-grained access? (Choose two.) 

A. Security policies can be associated only with tables, but not with views.

ORA-01001: invalid cursor 

What could be the reason? 

A. Both the cursor variable arguments should have been passed in IN mode. 

B. The contents of one cursor variable cannot be assigned to another cursor variable using the := operator. 

C. The CLOSE statement closes both the cursor variables, therefore the last FETCH statement cannot execute.

Answer:

Q15. The database instance was started up with the following initialization parameter values: 

MEMORY_TARGET = 500M 

RESULT_CACHE_MODE = FORCE 

RESULT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE = 0 

After the database startup, to enable the result cache, you issued the following command: 

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET result_cache_max_size = 2M SCOPE = MEMORY; 

Which is the effect of this command? 

A. The query result cache is enabled and 2 MB of the memory target is allocated to the result cache. 

B. The query result cache is enabled and 0.25% of the memory target is allocated to the result cache. 

C. The command produces an error because the database instance is started up with the RESULT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE parameter set to 0. 

D. The query result cache is not enabled because the database instance is started up with the RESULT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE parameter set to 0. 

Answer:

Q16. The result cache is enabled for the database instance. 

Examine the following code for a PL/SQL function: 

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_hire_date (emp_id NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR 

RESULT_CACHE RELIES_ON (HR.EMPLOYEES) 

IS 

date_hired DATE; 

BEGIN 

SELECT hire_date INTO date_hired 

FROM HR.EMPLOYEES 

WHERE EMPLOYEE_ID = emp_id; 

RETURN TO_CHAR(date_hired); 

END; 

Which statement is true in this scenario? 

A. If sessions have different NLS_DATE_FORMAT settings, cached results have different formats. 

B. The function results are not cached because the query used in the function returns the DATE data type. 

C. If sessions have different NLS_DATE_FORMAT settings, cached results have same formats because the function's return type is VARCHAR. 

D. If a function is executed with same argument value but different NLS_DATE_FORMAT for the session, the cached result is overwritten with the new function result.
