Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate — Question 38

Which statement is true when you provision an Autonomous Database using the cloning method? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. A clone database source can be a running database instance.
• B. A clone database source can be from a point-in-time backup that is less than 2 hours old.
• C. When cloning an Autonomous Database, Oracle Machine Learning workspaces, projects, and notebooks of the source database are cloned to the new database.
• D. After an Autonomous database is created using a clone, the network access option can be changed.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because you can indeed use a running database instance as the source when provisioning a clone. Option B is incorrect as point-in-time backups older than 2 hours cannot be used for cloning. Options C and D are also incorrect; the workspaces and other elements are not automatically cloned, and the network access option cannot be changed post-creation.
