Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Architect Associate — Question 50

You want to have an exact copy of your database system to demonstrate the feasibility of a method you have in mind. You decide to clone your database system.
Which of the following statement is true about cloning a database system?

Answer options

• A. Cloning creates a copy of the source DB system as it exists at the time of scheduling the cloning operation, including the storage configuration software and database volumes.
• B. Cloning creates a copy of the source DB System as it exists at a later time, including the storage configuration software and database volumes.
• C. Cloning creates a copy of the source DB system as it exists at an earlier time, including the storage configuration software and database volumes.
• D. Cloning creates a copy of the source DB system as it exists at the time of the cloning operation, including the storage configuration software and database volumes.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because cloning captures the state of the database system at the precise moment the cloning process is executed. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they imply the copy is based on a different time frame, which does not accurately represent how cloning works.
