Re: Selftest Software OCP Prep tests

Altho there are a couple of errors in their questions.

One Example:

Question:
Which three steps should you complete before issuing the CREATE DATABASE command? (Choose three).

1. Connect as SYSDBA
2. Start up an instance.
3. Create a control file.
4. Create a database user.
5. Create a parameter file
6. Start an instance and MOUNT the database.

Now, to me, from these selections there are only two correct answers: A and E However, they also claim that the third correct answer is B, start up and instance.

I believe this answer is incomplete, because to create a database, you should start in the NOMOUNT state. They should be more specific.

Even in their explanations, they say Startup the instance in NOMOUNT state -- not the same as the actual choice they give you.

For these reasons, buyer beware and STUDY STUDY STUDY!!
