Q1Domain Verified

In the context of "The Complete Oracle SQL Tuning Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", which of the following is the most critical factor when an Oracle optimizer chooses between a full table scan and an index scan for a small table with a highly selective predicate?

The physical storage layout of the table and index on disk, assuming no caching.

The number of I/O operations required for the index scan, irrespective of data retrieval.

The cardinality estimate of the table and the percentage of rows expected to be returned by the predicate.

The cost of traversing the index structure versus reading the entire table's data blocks.

Q2Domain Verified

According to "The Complete Oracle SQL Tuning Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", when analyzing a SQL statement with a high elapsed time, what is the most insightful metric to initially investigate within an execution plan to pinpoint performance bottlenecks?

Elapsed Time for individual operations, as it shows where time is actually being spent.

Optimizer Cost, as it represents the optimizer's estimated effort.

CPU Time, as it directly reflects processing intensity.

Buffer Gets, as it indicates the amount of data being read into memory.

Q3Domain Verified

In the context of "The Complete Oracle SQL Tuning Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", consider a scenario where a SQL statement exhibits high consistent gets but relatively low CPU usage. What is the most probable root cause for this performance characteristic?

Excessive disk I/O due to missing or poorly chosen indexes, forcing frequent physical reads.

Inefficient SQL logic leading to redundant processing.

Network latency between the client and the database server.

Suboptimal parallel execution plan configuration.
