1Examine the parameters for your database instance: You execute the following command:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE undotbs1 RETENTION NOGUARANTEE;
Which statement is true in this scenario?
Undo data is written to flashback logs after 1200 seconds.
Inactive undo data is retained for 1200 seconds even if subsequent transactions fail due to lack of space in the undo tablespace.
You can perform a Flashback Database operation only within the duration of 1200 seconds.
An attempt is made to keep inactive undo for 1200 seconds but transactions may overwrite the undo before that time has elapsed.

3Examine the parameters for your database instance: Which three statements are true about the process of automatic optimization by using cardinality feedback? (Choose three.)
The optimizer automatically changes a plan during subsequent execution of a SQL statement if there is a huge difference in optimizer estimates and execution statistics.
The optimizer can re optimize a query only once using cardinality feedback.
The optimizer enables monitoring for cardinality feedback after the first execution of a query.
The optimizer does not monitor cardinality feedback if dynamic sampling and multicolumn statistics are enabled.
After the optimizer identifies a query as a re-optimization candidate, statistics collected by the collectors are submitted to the optimizer.
