Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 122

You have one database-style application that frequently makes many random reads and writes across the dataset.
Which storage offering supports this application?

Answer options

• A. object storage service
• B. archive storage service
• C. file storage service
• D. block storage service

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Block storage is optimized for high performance and allows for fast random access, making it ideal for database applications that require frequent reads and writes. Object storage and archive storage are not designed for such workloads, while file storage may not provide the same level of performance as block storage for database operations.
