Oracle Database Administration I — Question 66

Which two statements are true about the PMON background process? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It registers database services with all local and remote listeners known to the database instance
• B. It frees resources held by abnormally terminated processes
• C. It records checkpoint information in the control file
• D. It frees unused temporary segments
• E. It kills sessions that exceed idle time

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B and E because PMON is responsible for freeing resources from processes that have ended abnormally and for killing sessions that have been idle for too long. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they pertain to other processes or functions not associated with PMON.
