Full set: 94 questions
Answer options
A: It permits DML on global temporary tables even if the database is opened read-only. Correct answer
B: It reduces the amount of UNDO stored in the UNDO tablespace. Correct answer
C: It reduces I/Os to the SYSTEM tablespace.
D: It reduces the amount of redo generated. Correct answer
E: It reduces I/Os to the SYSAUX tablespace.
Correct Answer:
A. It permits DML on global temporary tables even if the database is opened read-only.; B. It reduces the amount of UNDO stored in the UNDO tablespace.; D. It reduces the amount of redo generated.
Explanation

Temp UNDO is a feature that stores undo data for global temporary tables in the temporary tablespace instead of the permanent UNDO tablespace. This provides three key benefits: (1) It allows DML operations on global temporary tables even when the database is in read-only mode, since temporary tablespaces remain writable; (2) It reduces UNDO tablespace usage by redirecting temporary table undo to temp tablespaces; (3) It significantly reduces redo generation because changes to temporary undo segments generate minimal redo compared to permanent undo segments.

Why Incorrect

C. Temp UNDO affects temporary and UNDO tablespaces, not SYSTEM tablespace I/O operations.
E. SYSAUX tablespace is not involved in temp UNDO operations for global temporary tables.
