Oracle Database 12c: Installation and Administration — Question 145

You want to distribute a set of structured data to your customers who can integrate this data into their existing databases irrespective of the platform.
Which method provides the fastest way of achieving this?

Answer options

• A. using the DBVERIFY utility
• B. using direct-path INSERT SQL statements
• C. using SQL*Loader
• D. using RMAN transportable tablespace operation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The RMAN transportable tablespace operation allows for efficient data transfer between databases by moving entire tablespaces, making it the fastest method for integration. Other options like SQL*Loader and direct-path INSERT SQL statements are slower for this purpose as they involve more overhead in data transformation and loading. The DBVERIFY utility is primarily for checking the integrity of data and does not serve the purpose of data distribution.
