Full set: 251 questions
Answer options
A: PostgreSQL
B: Oracle Correct answer
C: Microsoft SQL Server
D: MongoDB
Correct Answer:
B. Oracle
Explanation

Nutanix Era provides a dedicated command-line interface (CLI) feature to roll back a patch for Oracle database servers. This operation leverages a pre-patch snapshot of the Oracle Home to revert the database server to its state before the patch was applied. This functionality is specific to the complexities of Oracle patching and is not available for other database engines like PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or MongoDB through a dedicated Era rollback command. For other engines, restoration from a pre-patch snapshot is the alternative method.

Why Incorrect

A. Era does not provide a specific CLI command to roll back a patch for PostgreSQL; a database restore would be required.
C. Era does not offer a dedicated patch rollback command for Microsoft SQL Server via the CLI.
D. Era does not have a specific CLI command for rolling back patches on MongoDB database servers.
