Oracle AI Database Administration Professional Exam Practice Test
The Oracle AI Database Administration Professional Exam (1Z0-183) practice page covers Oracle Database administration concepts and the operational choices a DBA makes when managing accounts, storage, SQL access, database state, and application connectivity. The available questions also sample centralized identity management, row-level access controls, query-result reuse, and inspection of runtime and configuration information.
Exam overview
About the Oracle AI Database Administration Professional Exam
The practice bank includes tasks such as identifying the control file’s role, checking account status through data dictionary information, and distinguishing a user’s default tablespace from quota limits on other tablespaces. Other questions involve selecting a dynamic performance view to inspect SQL in the shared SQL area, checking active initialization parameter values, and recognizing how a service can support relocation among database instances. The material also touches on Oracle Label Security-style centralized privilege management, session-context policies for row access, materialized views and refresh behavior, and opening a database for read-only access. These examples can help you connect Oracle’s administrative objects and views to practical decisions about access, capacity, query performance, and availability; they are practice-bank topic signals, not a verified list of exam objectives.
Sample Practice Questions

A team wants to define reusable user and role privileges that can be managed centrally across multiple databases. Which Oracle option is designed to provide centralized identity and authorization management?
Show answer
Correct answer: AOracle Internet Directory is an LDAP directory service that can support centralized identity and authorization management for Oracle environments. Data Pump moves logical data, Scheduler runs jobs, and SQL*Loader loads files.
An administrator needs to give a user additional storage capacity for objects in a tablespace without changing the user's default tablespace. Which quota setting addresses this?
Show answer
Correct answer: AA tablespace quota limits or permits the amount of space a user can allocate in a particular tablespace. The default tablespace determines where objects are placed when no tablespace is specified, but does not itself grant a quota.
A DBA wants to inspect the SQL text associated with a cursor currently present in the shared SQL area. Which dynamic performance view is commonly used to query SQL text and cursor-related information?
Show answer
Correct answer: AV$SQL exposes information about SQL statements in the shared SQL area, including SQL text and cursor-related statistics. The other views describe database files or archived logs rather than shared SQL cursors.
What is the primary purpose of the Oracle Database control file?
Show answer
Correct answer: BThe control file contains metadata needed to maintain and recover the database, including database structure information and checkpoint-related records.
Which Oracle Database object can provide a precomputed result set to speed up repeated queries, with refresh behavior configured as needed?
Show answer
Correct answer: BA materialized view stores the results of a query and can be refreshed to reflect changes in its underlying data. It can improve performance for suitable repeated or summary queries.
Which Oracle Database facility allows an administrator to define policies that restrict access to rows based on the context of a user's session?
Show answer
Correct answer: AVirtual Private Database (VPD) uses security policies to apply predicates to SQL statements, enabling row-level access control based on user or session context.
A database administrator needs to check whether a particular user account is locked or expired. Which data dictionary view is commonly used to inspect account status?
Show answer
Correct answer: ADBA_USERS contains information about database users, including account status. The other views describe datafiles, segments, and Scheduler jobs.

Preparation tips
- Compare user quotas with default tablespace settings, and practice identifying which setting controls object-storage capacity in a particular tablespace.
- Review the purpose of Oracle control files and distinguish read-only database opening from modes that permit ordinary data changes.
- Practice matching administrative questions to data dictionary and dynamic performance views, including views for account status, SQL text, and initialization parameters.
- Understand how materialized views differ from ordinary views, including why refresh behavior matters when reusing precomputed query results.
- Trace how centralized identity and authorization, session-context row policies, and relocatable services address different access and connectivity needs.
