1Z0-908 practice examsIn development
Oracle Certified Professional, MySQL Database Administrator
Administering the database that runs a large share of the web: the pluggable storage engine layer and why InnoDB is the only sensible choice, the clustered primary key that every secondary index carries, configuration that survives a restart, accounts as user and host pairs, then logical against physical backup with binary log replay for point-in-time recovery, row-based replication with global transaction identifiers, InnoDB Cluster with its router, and ranking queries by total time rather than worst case.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Architecture, InnoDB, configuration and security | Not published |
| Backup, replication, high availability and performance | Not published |
Two sample questions
1. What does MySQL Router give an application?
- A cache of query results for read scaling
- One endpoint that follows the cluster's current primary — correct
- A proxy that rewrites the application's queries
- A firewall filtering which clients may connect
Why: Without it the application would have to discover the new primary itself after every failover.
2. What does the account host part restrict?
- Where it connects from — correct
- The account password
- The granted role
- The storage engine
Why: The host part restricts which client hosts the user may connect from.
