1)what is the shared memory segment?

we have to configure this parameter SHMMAX in kernel of

unix to populate the SGA in the RAM.Becos SGA is also
shared memory segment.
2)How can you started your standby server?
In Nomount stage
3)Why
Becos after nomount stage of stanby server we have to mount as standby server.
4)Installation of oracle on solaris platform witch file
you have to modified first?
/etc/system for configuration of kernel
5)If your database is hanged and you can't connect thro'
sqlplus how can you shutdown database?
ipcs -s|grep $ORACLE_SID gives us semaphore segment set
process id and we can kill them with the ipcrm commands.
6)What is the $0?
shescript'name
7)what is the $1?
argument after shellscript'name
8)What is the semaphore management?
That is the internal latch contention and resource wait set of Unix
9)when you used resetlogs and noresetlogs?
When we performed complite recovery we can opened our datbase with noresetlogs a
nd when we performed incomplite recovery that time we have to opened our databas
e with resetlogs.
10)When you performed only one datafile recovery that time what u used resetlogs
or norestlogs?
That is also part of the complite recovery we have to used the norestlogs
11)But if you are issued the resetlogs then what you after it?
Once resetlogs issued after that we have to take full cold backup.
12)If our buffer cache hit ratio is 90% but system is going to slow how you can
judge that buffer cache is too small?
from the v$waitstat in the data block contention.
13)what is the 10046 event?
That is the best practice for dba to understand system wait event created by que
ry.
14)What is the crontab?
in Unix that is the utility for scheduling the process
15)Whithout use of crontab witch command you used for this?
at commend
16)How you can check which oracle instance are populated in you server?
ps -ef|grep ora|grep -g grep
17)which file you have to modified when you intersted to set oracle instance aut
omaticaly started?
/etc/oratab
18)what is the pctfree?
19)what is the pctused?
20)what is the optimal?
21)what is the undo_retention?
22)how you can fast process the import which has large index?
to set sort_area_size more
23)what is the parallel server?
shared database with more than the 2 instance called parallel server.
24)what is parallel query?
server process spawn more than the one slave process and all slave fetch data fr
om the disk.

1)What is the SGA?

2)What is the your present activities as DBA?
3)Instance is started means what?
4)How can you configured Backup stategy?
5)What is the Hot Backup?
6)In tunning how can you performed it?
7)What is the OFA?
8)Suppoce one of the your end user come to you and told you that his report is h
anged what should you do?
9)If you database is in no archivelog mode and you took backup yesterday and you
r database size is 40gb very next day when you start database that time it gives
error that one of the redolog file corrupted how can you recovered it?
10)What is the buffer busy wait?
11)when data block buffer has too many contention what to do?
12)what is the localy managed tablespace?
13)why freelist contention is occured?
14)what is the row chaining and row migration? How can you judged it and tune it
?
15)if your database size is more than the 100gb and running 24*7*365 how planned
to decide to take backup?
16)what is the rollback segment contention?
17)why we used undo_retention?
18)if you got ora-1555 error snapshot too old what to do?
20)If you give proper hint in sql query but when you check from the trace that h
int is not working why?
21)Give the parameter which is affected on Oracle block size.
22)What is the pctthreshold?
23)If you want to check disk io how to obtained it?
24)To avoid sorting what to do?
