Test: Final Exam Semester 2

Section 11 1. CLOB and BLOB are internal LOB datatypes, while BFILE is an external LOB datatype. True or False? Mark for Review (1) Points True (*) False 2. Which of the following best describes the difference between BLOB and BFILE data? Mark for Review (1) Points A BLOB can contain text data while a BFILE cannot. BLOB data is stored inside the database, while BFILE data is outside the database in separate operating system files. (*) The maximum size of a BLOB is 2GB; a BFILE can be up to 128TB if needed. A table can contain several BLOB columns but only one BFILE column. There is no difference between a BLOB and a BFILE. 3. A LONG column can be converted to CLOB using a single ALTER TABLE command. True or False? Mark for Review (1) Points True (*) False 4. Which of the following statements about LOB column datatypes is NOT true? Mark for Review (1) Points BFILE data is stored outside the database. One table can contain only one LONG or LONG RAW column. CLOB is a deprecated datatype; LONG should be used instead. (*) Binary (non-text) data can be stored in a BLOB column but not in a CLOB column. A LONG RAW column can store up to 2GB of data. 5. You need to store very large amounts of text data in a table column inside the database. Which datatype should you use for this column? Mark for Review (1) Points CLOB (*) BLOB LONG

12. Which of the following statements about BFILEs are NOT true? (Choose two.) Mark for Review (1) Points (Choose all correct answers) They are stored outside the database. We can read BFILE data using the DBMS_LOB package. We can grant SELECT object privilege on them. (*) We can read BFILE data in a SELECT statement. (*) The database contains a locator which points to the external BFILE. 13. The BIGEMP table contains a RESUME column of datatype BFILE, which has been populated with locator values. The following code reads a BFILE locator value into a variable, then checks whether the BFILE itself exists in the operating system directory.
