Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2021 Architect Professional — Question 12

What must you do before deleting a DB system?

Answer options

• A. Take a manual backup.
• B. Stop the instance if it is running.
• C. Disable delete protection if it is enabled.
• D. Stop and remove any connected HeatWave Cluster.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because delete protection must be disabled to allow the DB system to be removed. Options A, B, and D, while potentially good practices, are not mandatory steps for the deletion process itself.
