Examine this function: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CALC_PLAYER_AVG (V_ID in PLAYER_BAT_STAT.PLAYER_ID%TYPE) RETURN NUMBER IS V_AVG NUMBER; BEGIN SELECT HITS / AT_BATS INTO V_AVG FROM PLAYER_BAT_STAT WHERE PLAYER_ID = V_ID; RETURN (V_AVG); END; Which statement will successfully invoke this function in SQL *Plus?
- A.
  
  SELECT CALC_PLAYER_AVG(PLAYER_ID) FROM PLAYER_BAT_STAT;
- B.
  
  EXECUTE CALC_PLAYER_AVG(31);
- C.
  
  CALC_PLAYER('RUTH');
- D.
  
  CALC_PLAYER_AVG(31);
- E.
  
  START CALC_PLAYER_AVG(31)
Correct Answer
A. SELECT CALC_PLAYER_AVG(PLAYER_ID) FROM PLAYER_BAT_STAT;

Explanation
B. You can't call a function in this way, in this way you can call a procedure, because function must return a value, to call a function using EXECUTE command you should declare a bind variable using the VARIABLE command then assign the value returned from the function to this variable, in the following way: SQL> VARIABLE v_get_value NUMBER SQL> EXECUTE :v_get_value := CALC_PLAYER_AVG(31) PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. SQL> PRINT v_get_value V_GET_VALUE
C. Again this way can't be use for calling a function in PL/SQL block because the function return a value and this values must be assigned to PL/SQL variable or to bind variable. Like this DECLARE v_get_from_fn NUMBER; BEGIN v_get_from := CALC_PLAYER_AVG(31); END; 1z0-147 /
D. Same as C.
E. START is use to execute a script

Examine this code: CREATE OR REPLACE PRODECURE add_dept (p_dept_name VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'placeholder', p_location VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'Boston')IS BEGIN INSERT INTO departments VALUES (dept_id_seq.NEXTVAL, p_dept_name, p_location); END add_dept; / Which three are valid calls to the add_dep procedure? (Choose three)
- A.
  
  Add_dept;
- B.
  
  Add_dept('Accounting');
- C.
  
  Add_dept(, 'New York');
- D.
  
  Add_dept(p_location=>'New York');
Correct Answer(s)
A. Add_dept;
B. Add_dept('Accounting');
D. Add_dept(p_location=>'New York');

Explanation
A is correct because both of the parameter have a default values.
B is correct because here we call the procedure using position notation, and the first parameter for the procedure will have the value 'Accounting', and since the second parameter has a default value then we can skip it, and in this case it will take the default value.
D is correct because here we are calling the procedure using naming notation, the value 'New York' will go to the parameter p_location, and the parameter p_dept_name will have the default value. The following table list the for passing parameters to a procedure: Incorrect Answer
C: You can't use this way and assume that the PL/SQL will understand that he should assign the default value for the first parameter. This is incorrect way for calling

Which two statements about packages are true? (Choose two)
- A.
  
  Packages can be nested.
- B.
  
  You can pass parameters to packages.
- C.
  
  A package is loaded into memory each time it is invoked
- D.
  
  The contents of packages can be shared by many applications.
- E.
  
  You can achieve information hiding by making package constructs private
Correct Answer(s)
D. The contents of packages can be shared by many applications.
E. You can achieve information hiding by making package constructs private

Explanation
Actually theses are some of the advantages of the package, sharing the package among applications and
hide the logic of the procedures and function that are inside the package by declaring them in the package
header and write the code of these procedures and functions inside the package body.
Incorrect Answers:

A: Packages can not be nested
B: Parameters can't be passed to a package; parameters can be passed to procedures and functions only.
C: By the first time you call a procedure, function, or reference a global variable within the package, the whole package will be loaded into the memory and stay there, so when ever you need to reference any of the package's constructs again you will find it in the memory

Correct Answer(s)
A. Cursor
B. Constant

Explanation
Incorrect Answers
C: Triggers are objects that we create are created on the tables.
D: Sequences can't be grouped inside the packages, but we can reference then inside the package.
E: Views are created and they are database objects, and they can't be grouped inside the packages

Which two statements describe the state of a package variable after executing the package in which it is declared? (Choose two)
- A.
  
  It persists across transactions within a session.
- B.
  
  It persists from session to session for the same user.
- C.
  
  It does not persist across transaction within a session
- D.
  
  It persists from user to user when the package is invoked
- E.
  
  It does not persist from session to session for the same user.
Correct Answer(s)
A. It persists across transactions within a session.
E. It does not persist from session to session for the same user.

Explanation
You can keep track of the state of a package variable or cursor, which persists throughout the user session,
from the time the user first references the variable or cursor to the time the user disconnects.

1 Initialize the variable within its declaration or within an automatic, one-time-only procedure.
2 Change the value of the variable by means of package procedures.
3 The value of the variable is released when the user disconnects. Incorrect Answers

B: Each session will have its own value for the variables
C: It persists across the transactions and through the user session.
D: Each user has his own values and results, because each user has his own users.

Which code can you use to ensure that the salary is not increased by more than 10% at a time nor is it ever decreased?
- A.
  
  ALTER TABLE emp ADD CONSTRAINT ck_sal CHECK (sal BETWEEN sal AND sal*1.1);
- B.
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER check_sal BEFORE UPDATE OF sal ON emp FOR EACH ROW WHEN (new.sal < old.sal OR new.sal > old.sal * 1.1) BEGIN RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR ( - 20508, 'Do not decrease salary not increase by more than 10%'); END;
- C.
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER check_sal BEFORE UPDATE OF sal ON emp WHEN (new.sal < old.sal OR new.sal > old.sal * 1.1) BEGIN RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR ( - 20508, 'Do not decrease salary not increase by more than 10%'); END;
- D.
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER check_sal AFTER UPDATE OR sal ON emp WHEN (new.sal < old.sal OR -new.sal > old.sal * 1.1) BEGIN RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR ( - 20508, 'Do not decrease salary not increase by more than 10%'); END;
Correct Answer
B. CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER check_sal BEFORE UPDATE OF sal ON emp FOR EACH ROW WHEN (new.sal < old.sal OR new.sal > old.sal * 1.1) BEGIN RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR ( - 20508, 'Do not decrease salary not increase by more than 10%'); END;

Explanation
Row triggers are the correct chose for solving the problem. A row trigger fires each time the table is affected by the triggering event. If the triggering event affects no rows, a row trigger is not executed. Row triggers are useful if the trigger action depends on data of rows that are affected or on data provided by the triggering event itself. You can create a BEFORE row trigger in order to prevent the triggering operation from succeeding if a certain condition is violated. Within a ROW trigger, reference the value of a column before and after the data change by prefixing it with the OLD and NEW qualifier. Incorrect Answers:
A: Check constaint can't do this job lets take a look:
SQL> ALTER TABLE emp ADD
2 CONSTRAINT ck_sal CHECK (sal BETWEEN sal AND sal*1.1)

3 /
Table altered.
SQL> select ename, sal
2 from emp
3 where ename = 'KING';
ENAME SAL

KING 5000 Now let's issue an update statement SQL> update emp 2 set sal = 10 3 where ename = 'KING'; 1 row updated. As you can see the check constraint can't compare the old value with the new value. D,C: You can use NEW and OLD qualifier with row level triggers, If in the CREATE TRIGGER statement you didn't say FOR EACH ROW then the trigger will be statement level trigger

Which statement is valid when removing procedures?
- A.
  
  Use a drop procedure statement to drop a standalone procedure.
- B.
  
  Use a drop procedure statement to drop a procedure that is part of a package. Then recompile the package specification.
- C.
  
  Use a drop procedure statement to drop a procedure that is part of a package. Then recompile the package body
- D.
  
  For faster removal and re-creation, do not use a drop procedure statement. Instead, recompile the procedure using the alter procedure statement with the REUSE SETTINGS clause.
Correct Answer
A. Use a drop procedure statement to drop a standalone procedure.

Explanation
The DROP DROCEDURE statement is used to drop a stand alone procedure Incorrect Answers:
B: You can't drop a procedure that's inside a package, you have to drop the package, and in this case the whole procedures, functions,... that are inside the packages will be droped.
C: Same as B.
D: REUSE SETTINGS is used to to prevent Oracle from dropping and reacquiring compiler switch settings.With this clause, Oracle preserves the existing settings and uses them for the recompilation.

Examine this package: CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BB_PACK IS V_MAX_TEAM_SALARY NUMBER(12,2); PROCEDURE ADD_PLAYER(V_ID IN NUMBER, V_LAST_NAME VARCHAR2, V_SALARY NUMBER); END BB_PACK; / CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY BB_PACK IS PROCEDURE UPD_PLAYER_STAT (V_ID IN NUMBER, V_AB IN NUMBER DEFAULT 4, V_HITS IN NUMBER) IS BEGIN UPDATE PLAYER_BAT_STAT SET AT_BATS = AT_BATS + V_AB, HITS = HITS + V_HITSWHERE PLAYER_ID = V_ID; COMMIT; END UPD_PLAYER_STAT; PROCEDURE ADD_PLAYER (V_ID IN NUMBER, V_LAST_NAME VARCHAR2, V_SALARY NUMBER) IS BEGIN INSERT INTO PLAYER(ID,LAST_NAME,SALARY) VALUES (V_ID, V_LAST_NAME, V_SALARY); UPD_PLAYER_STAT(V_ID,0,0); END ADD_PLAYER; END BB_PACK; You make a change to the body of the BB_PACK package. The BB_PACK body is recompiled. What happens if the stand alone procedure VALIDATE_PLAYER_STAT references this package?
- A.
  
  VALIDATE_PLAYER_STAT cannot recompile and must be recreated
- B.
  
  VALIDATE_PLAYER_STAT is not invalidated
- C.
  
  VALDIATE_PLAYER_STAT is invalidated
- D.
  
  VALIDATE_PLAYER_STAT and BB_PACK are invalidated
Correct Answer
B. VALIDATE_PLAYER_STAT is not invalidated

Explanation
You can greatly simplify dependency management with packages when referencing a package procedure or function from a stand-alone procedure or function.
If the package body changes and the package specification does not change, the stand-alone procedure referencing a package construct remains valid.
If the package specification changes, the outside procedure referencing a package construct is invalidated, as is the package body

Which statements are true? (Choose all that apply)
- A.
  
  If errors occur during the compilation of a trigger, the trigger is still created.
- B.
  
  If errors occur during the compilation of a trigger you can go into SQL *Plus and query the USER_TRIGGERS data dictionary view to see the compilation errors
- C.
  
  If errors occur during the compilation of a trigger you can use the SHOW ERRORS command within iSQL *Plus to see the compilation errors
- D.
  
  If errors occur during the compilation of a trigger you can go into SQL *Plus and query the USER_ERRORS data dictionary view to see compilation errors.
Correct Answer(s)
A. If errors occur during the compilation of a trigger, the trigger is still created.
C. If errors occur during the compilation of a trigger you can use the SHOW ERRORS command within iSQL *Plus to see the compilation errors
D. If errors occur during the compilation of a trigger you can go into SQL *Plus and query the USER_ERRORS data dictionary view to see compilation errors.

Explanation
The given answer is correct. If errors occur during the compilation of a trigger, the trigger is still created. This means that even if there are compilation errors, the trigger will still be created in the database. Additionally, you can use the SHOW ERRORS command within iSQL *Plus to see the compilation errors. This command allows you to view the specific errors that occurred during the compilation process. Another option is to go into SQL *Plus and query the USER_ERRORS data dictionary view. This view provides information on the compilation errors for all triggers in the current user's schema.

Which two dictionary views track dependencies? (Choose two)
- A.
  
  USER_SOURCE
- B.
  
  UTL_DEPTREE
- C.
  
  USER_OBJECTS /DBA_DEPENDENT_OBJECTS
- D.
  
  DEPTREE_TEMPTAB
- E.
  
  USER_DEPENDENCIES
Correct Answer(s)
D. DEPTREE_TEMPTAB
E. USER_DEPENDENCIES

Explanation
The two dictionary views that track dependencies are DEPTREE_TEMPTAB and USER_DEPENDENCIES. DEPTREE_TEMPTAB is a temporary table that is created during the analysis of dependencies in the database. It stores information about the dependencies between objects. USER_DEPENDENCIES is a view that shows the dependencies between objects owned by the current user. It provides information about the objects that depend on a particular object and the objects that the particular object depends on.

  You need to create a SQL *Plus environment variable X and issue the command EXECUTE :X := CALCTAX;
- E.
  
  You need to create a SQL *Plus environment variable X and issue the command EXECUTE :X := CALCTAX(1000);
Correct Answer
E. You need to create a SQL *Plus environment variable X and issue the command EXECUTE :X := CALCTAX(1000);

Explanation
When you call a function from SQL*PLUS you need to assign the returned value a bind variable, and you need the EXECUTE command to execute the function

What happens during the execute phase with dynamic SQL for INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations?
- A.
  
  The rows are selected and ordered
- B.
  
  The validity of the SQL statement is established
- C.
  
  An area of memory is established to process the SQL statement.
- D.
  
  The SQL statement is run and the number of rows processed is returned.
- E.
  
  The area of memory established to process the SQL statement is released
Correct Answer
D. The SQL statement is run and the number of rows processed is returned.

Explanation
All SQL statements have to go through various stages. Some stages may be skipped.

1 Parse Every SQL statement must be parsed. Parsing the statement includes checking the statement's syntax and validating the statement, ensuring that all references to objects are correct, and ensuring that the relevant privileges to those objects exist.
2 Bind
After parsing, the Oracle server knows the meaning of the Oracle statement but still may not have enough
information to execute the statement. The Oracle server may need values for any bind variable in the
statement. The process of obtaining these values is called binding variables.

3 Execute
At this point, the Oracle server has all necessary information and resources, and the statement is executed.

4 Fetch
In the fetch stage, rows are selected and ordered (if requested by the query), and each successive fetch
retrieves another row of the result, until the last row has been fetched. You can fetch queries, but not the
DML statements.

What part of a database trigger determines the number of times the trigger body executes?
- A.
  
  Trigger type
- B.
  
  Trigger body
- C.
  
  Trigger event
- D.
  
  Trigger timing
Correct Answer
A. Trigger type

Explanation
The correct answer is "Trigger type". The trigger type determines the number of times the trigger body executes. Different trigger types have different behaviors when it comes to execution, such as being fired once per statement, once per row, or once per transaction. Therefore, the trigger type is crucial in determining how many times the trigger body will be executed.

- A.
  
  Employee 108 has his email name updated based on the return result of the function.
- B.
  
  The statement fails because functions called from SQL expressions cannot perform DML.
- C.
  
  The statement fails because the functions does not contain code to end the transaction.
- D.
  
  The SQL statement executes successfully, because UPDATE and DELETE statements are ignoring in stored functions called from SQL expressions.
- E.
  
  The SQL statement executes successfully and control is passed to the calling environment
Correct Answer
B. The statement fails because functions called from SQL expressions cannot perform DML.

Explanation
When called from a SELECT statement or a parallelized UPDATE or DELETE statement, the function cannot modify any database tables
When called from an UPDATE, or DELETE statement, the function cannot query or modify any database tables modified by that statement.
When called from a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement, the function cannot execute SQL transaction control statements (such as COMMIT), session control statements (such as SET ROLE), or system control statements (such as ALTER SYSTEM). Also, it cannot execute DDL statements (such as CREATE) because they are followed by an automatic commit.
The function cannot call another subprogram that breaks one of the above restrictions.

- C.
  
  USER_OBJECTS
- D.
  
  USER_PLSQL_UNITS
Correct Answer
C. USER_OBJECTS

Explanation
A. USER_PROCEDURES lists all functions and procedures, along with associated properties. For example, ALL_PROCEDURES indicates whether or not a function is pipelined, parallel enabled or an aggregate function.

- B.
  
  10
- C.
  
  None
- D.
  
  A value equal to the number of rows in the EMP table

Which two statements about packages are true? (Choose two)
- A.
  
  Both the specification and body are required components of a package.
- B.
  
  The package specification is optional, but the package body is required
- C.
  
  The package specification is required, but the package body is optional.
- D.
  
  The specification and body of the package are stored together in the database
- E.
  
  The specification and body of the package are stored separately in the database.
Correct Answer(s)
C. The package specification is required, but the package body is optional.
E. The specification and body of the package are stored separately in the database.

Explanation
The package specification is required because it contains the declaration of the package, including its public variables, constants, types, exceptions, and subprograms. On the other hand, the package body is optional because it contains the implementation of the package, including the code for the subprograms declared in the specification.

The specification and body of the package are stored separately in the database to allow for modularity and reusability. This means that the package specification can be compiled and stored in the database without the need for the package body, allowing other programs to reference and use the package's public components. The package body can then be compiled and stored separately, providing the implementation details for the package.

  You use a database trigger to fire when an INSERT statement occurs
- C.
  
  You use a system event trigger to fire when an UPDATE statement occurs.
- D.
  
  You use INSTEAD OF trigger to fire when a SELECT statement occurs
Correct Answer
B. You use a database trigger to fire when an INSERT statement occurs

Explanation
A database trigger is a stored procedure that automatically executes when a specific event occurs within a database. In this case, the trigger is set to fire when an INSERT statement occurs, meaning that whenever a new record is inserted into the database, the trigger will be activated and execute the specified actions. This allows for automated processes or validations to be performed whenever new data is added to the database.

You want to create a PL/SQL block of code that calculates discounts on customer orders. -This code will be invoked from several places, but only within the program unit ORDERTOTAL. What is the most appropriate location to store the code that calculates the discounts?
- A.
  
  A stored procedure on the server
- B.
  
  A block of code in a PL/SQL library.
- C.
  
  A standalone procedure on the client machine
- D.
  
  A block of code in the body of the program unit ORDERTOTAL
- E.
  
  A local subprogram defined within the program unit ORDERTOTAL

E. A local subprogram defined within the program unit ORDERTOTAL

Explanation
A local subprogram defined within the program unit ORDERTOTAL is the most appropriate location to store the code that calculates the discounts. This ensures that the code is easily accessible and can be invoked from within the program unit ORDERTOTAL, as required. Storing it as a local subprogram also keeps the code organized and encapsulated within the program unit, making it easier to maintain and understand. Additionally, using a local subprogram allows for better code reusability within the program unit ORDERTOTAL.

To be callable from a SQL expression, a user-defined function must do what?
- A.
  
  Be stored only in the database.
- B.
  
  Have both IN and OUT parameters.
- C.
  
  Use the positional notation for parameters
- D.
  
  Return a BOOLEAN or VARCHAR2 data type.
Correct Answer
A. Be stored only in the database.

Explanation
A user-defined function must be stored only in the database in order to be callable from a SQL expression. This means that the function should be created and stored within the database system, rather than being defined and stored outside of it. By being stored in the database, the function becomes accessible and can be invoked within SQL queries and expressions.

Correct Answer(s)
B. A stored procedure is a named PL/SQL block that can accept parameters.
C. A stored procedure is a type of PL/SQL subprogram that performs an action.

Explanation
A procedure is a named PL/SQL block that can accept parameters (sometimes referred to as arguments), and be invoked. Generally speaking, you use a procedure to perform an action. A procedure has a header, a declaration section, an executable section, and an optional exception-handling section. A procedure can be compiled and stored in the database as a schema object. Procedures promote reusability and maintainability. When validated, they can be used in any number of applications. If the requirements change, only the procedure needs to be updated.

What can you do with the DBMS_LOB package?
- A.
  
  Use the DBMS_LOB.WRITE procedure to write data to a BFILE
- B.
  
  Use the DBMS_LOB.BFILENAME function to locate an external BFILE.
- C.
  
  Use the DBMS_LOB.FILEEXISTS function to find the location of a BFILE.
- D.
  
  Use the DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSE procedure to close the file being accessed.
Correct Answer
D. Use the DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSE procedure to close the file being accessed.

Explanation
A. DBMS_LOB.WRITE is used to write to Internal LOBs.
The internal LOB is stored inside the Oracle server. A BLOB, NCLOB, or CLOB can be one of the
following:

An attribute of a user-defined type

A column in a table

A bind or host variable

A PL/SQL variable, parameter, or result
Internal LOBs can take advantage of Oracle features such as:

Concurrency mechanisms

Redo logging and recovery mechanisms

Transactions with commit or rollbacks

BFILENAME is a built-in function that initializes a BFILE column to point to an external file. Use the
BFILENAME function as part of an INSERT statement to initialize a BFILE column by associating it with a

physical file in the server file system. You can use the UPDATE statement to change the reference target of the BFILE. A BFILE can be initialized to NULL and updated later by using the BFILENAME function.
C. DBMS_LOB.FILEEXISTS function to find if the file exits on the server

- D.
  
  UPD_BAT_STAT(V_AB=>10, V_ID=>31);
- E.
  
  RUN UPD_BAT_STAT
Correct Answer(s)
A. EXECUTE UPD_BAT_STAT;
B. EXECUTE UPD_BAT_STAT(V_AB=>10, V_ID=>31);

Explanation
The procedure UPD_BAT_STAT is created with two input parameters, V_ID and V_AB, with default values of 10 and 4 respectively. The procedure updates the AT_BATS column in the PLAYER_BAT_STAT table, adding the value of V_AB to the existing value, for the row where PLAYER_ID matches V_ID. It then commits the changes.

To successfully invoke this procedure in SQL *Plus, the EXECUTE command is used. The first statement, EXECUTE UPD_BAT_STAT;, will invoke the procedure with the default values for V_ID and V_AB. The second statement, EXECUTE UPD_BAT_STAT(V_AB=>10, V_ID=>31);, will invoke the procedure with specific values for V_ID and V_AB.

- A.
  
  Change the trigger type to a BEFORE DELETE
- B.
  
  Take out the COUNT function because it is not allowed in a trigger
- C.
  
  Remove the DBMS_OUTPUT statement because it is not allowed in a trigger.
- D.
  
  Change the trigger to a statement-level trigger by removing FOR EACH ROW
Correct Answer
D. Change the trigger to a statement-level trigger by removing FOR EACH ROW

Explanation
Removing the "FOR EACH ROW" clause will change the trigger to a statement-level trigger. In a statement-level trigger, the trigger fires once for each SQL statement, rather than for each row affected by the statement. This change will correct the error because the trigger is currently expecting to work with individual rows, but the DELETE statement is affecting multiple rows at once. By making the trigger a statement-level trigger, it will be able to handle the DELETE statement correctly.

- D.
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tax_amt (p_id NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER(10,2)
- E.
  
  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE tax_amt (p_id NUMBER, p_amount OUT NUMBER(10, 2))
Correct Answer(s)
A. CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tax_amt (p_id NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER
C. . CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE tax_amt (p_id NUMBER, p_amount OUT NUMBER)

Explanation
The two program declarations that are correct for a stored program unit are:

1. CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tax_amt (p_id NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER
This declaration creates a function named tax_amt that takes in a parameter p_id of type NUMBER and returns a value of type NUMBER.

2. CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE tax_amt (p_id NUMBER, p_amount OUT NUMBER)
This declaration creates a procedure named tax_amt that takes in two parameters - p_id of type NUMBER and p_amount of type OUT NUMBER. The OUT keyword indicates that the p_amount parameter is an output parameter.

These two declarations are correct because they follow the syntax rules for creating a function and a procedure in a stored program unit.

- B.
  
  A column that is a primary key.
- C.
  
  Stored in the database.
- D.
