8. Which of the following are NOT benefits of using the NOCOPY hint? (Choose
two) Mark for Review

(Choose all correct answers)

Eliminates extra processing
Uses a larger block of server memory for faster access (*)

10. You want to create a function which drops a table. You write the following
code:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION droptab
(p_tab_name IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BOOLEAN IS
BEGIN
DROP TABLE p_tab_name;
RETURN TRUE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN RETURN FALSE;
END;
Why will this procedure not compile successfully?
Mark for Review
(1) Points
Because you cannot use RETURN in the exception section

Because you can never drop a table from inside a function
Because the PL/SQL compiler cannot check if the argument of p_tab_name is a valid table-
name (*)
Because you do not have the privilege needed to drop a table

END LOOP;
END;
What will happen when this procedure is invoked?
Mark for Review
(1) Points
All views in the user's schema will be dropped. (*)

The procedure will raise an exception because one of the views is a complex view.
The procedure will raise an exception because Dynamic SQL can drop tables but cannot drop
views.
The procedure will not compile successfully because the syntax of EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is
incorrect.

The first two functions in the user's schema will be recompiled.
The first three functions in the user's schema will be recompiled. (*)
The procedure will not compile successfully because the syntax of the ALTER FUNCTION
statement is incorrect.
All functions in the user's schema will be recompiled.

Allows fetch of data for DML statements.
(1) Points
Enables system control statements to be written and executed from PL/SQL

Avoids errrors at compile time of DML statements

5. A programmer wants to code a procedure which will create a table with a
single column. The datatype of the column will be chosen by the user who invokes the procedure.
The programmer writes the following code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_tab
(p_col_datatype IN VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE newtab (only_col p_col_datatype);
END;
Why will this procedure not compile successfully?
Mark for Review
(1) Points
Because you cannot create a table inside a procedure
Because the invoking user may not have CREATE TABLE privilege
Because when the procedure is compiled, Oracle cannot check if the parameter value passed
into the procedure is a valid column datatype (*)
Because table NEWTAB may already exist
None of the above; the procedure will compile successfully.
