To check if cloud tools are up-to-date in Exadata Database Service, you need to perform the following two steps1:

• You must first connect to Exadata Cloud Service as opc and sudo to the root user. This is because the cloud tools are installed and updated by the root user on the database servers1. The opc user is the default administrative user that has sudo privileges to run commands as root1. The oracle user is the default database user that owns the Oracle software and the database files, but it does not have access to the cloud tools1.
• Run the rpm -qa|grep -i dbaastools_exadata command. This command will list the installed packages that match the dbaastools_exadata pattern, which is the name of the cloud tooling package for Exadata Database Service1. The output will show the current version of the cloud tooling package, such as dbaastools_exadata-20.4.1-1.el7.x86_641. You can compare this version with the latest version available from the Oracle Base Database Service documentation1.

The other option, running the dbaascli patch tools list command, is incorrect because it is not a valid command for Exadata Database Service. The dbaascli utility is a command-line interface that provides various functions for managing the database service, such as patching, backup, recovery, and encryption1. However, the patch tools subcommand is not supported for Exadata Database Service, as the cloud tools are automatically updated by Oracle1. Therefore, the correct answer is C and D. References:

Regarding MySQL Database Service HeatWave, the following two statements are true:

• HeatWave uses machine learning to automate operations, increase DBA productivity, and reduce costs. HeatWave has several features that leverage machine learning to optimize the performance and efficiency of the service, such as12:
• HeatWave is an in-memory, query-processing engine designed for fast execution of analytic queries. HeatWave is a massively parallel, distributed system that runs analytic queries in memory, using columnar data formats, vectorized execution, and adaptive algorithms. HeatWave can accelerate MySQL performance by orders of magnitude for analytics workloads, mixed workloads, and machine learning.

B is incorrect, because HeatWave does not use periodic long-running ETL batch jobs to refresh data, but a novel technique called dual-format storage. HeatWave stores data in both row and column formats, and synchronizes the data between the two formats in real time. This eliminates the need for ETL processes and enables fast execution of both transactional and analytic queries on the same data.

D is incorrect, because the HeatWave data that is needed for analytic processing is not stored in disk files, but in memory. HeatWave uses sparse files to store the columnar data in memory, which are compressed and encrypted. HeatWave also supports querying data in object storage, such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage or Amazon S3, using the HeatWave Lakehouse feature.

The statement that is true about rebooting a virtual machine (VM) DB system node using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console is D. On the VM DB system details page, find the node that you want to reboot, click the Actions (three dots) menu for that node, and then click Reboot. This is the procedure that is described in the official documentation12. It allows you to reboot a single node of a multi-node DB system individually, which may be necessary in some cases, such as scheduled maintenance1. The node is shut down and then restarted, and the floating IP address may take some time to be updated1.

A is incorrect, because the VM DB system nodes can be rebooted individually, as explained above. B is incorrect, because the VM DB system can be rebooted from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, as well as from the REST APIs or dbcli1. C is incorrect, because this is not the correct way to reboot a VM DB system node. Stopping and starting the DB system affects all the nodes, not just one, and it also stops and starts the database instances. This is different from rebooting a node, which does not affect the database instances1.
