Oracle Database Administration I — Question 129

Which three statements are true about using SQL*Plus? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. It has both command-line and graphical user interfaces (GUI).
• B. It must be downloaded from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).
• C. It can run Recovery Manager (RMAN) commands.
• D. It has its own commands that are separate from any SQL statements.
• E. It can run scripts entered at the SQL prompt.
• F. It can run scripts passed to it by a shell script.

Correct answer: A, D, E

Explanation

The correct answers A, D, and E highlight SQL*Plus's functionalities, such as offering both command-line and GUI options, having its own distinct commands, and the ability to run scripts entered directly at the SQL prompt. Options B and C are incorrect because SQL*Plus is typically included with Oracle Database installations and does not require separate downloads from OTN, and it does not run RMAN commands directly.
