DBS-C01 Deployment and Migration Practice Question
Which TWO factors should be considered when selecting a migration method from on-premises Oracle to Amazon RDS for Oracle?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse factors affecting migration method selection with factors affecting post-migration performance or compatibility, such as client versions or object counts, which are not relevant to the method choice.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The size of the database and available network bandwidth
The size of the database directly impacts the time required for data transfer, and available network bandwidth determines the maximum throughput for that transfer. For large databases over limited bandwidth, full offline migration may be impractical, requiring incremental or online methods like AWS DMS with ongoing replication to minimize transfer time.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The size of the database and available network bandwidth
Why this is correct
Large databases may require Snowball; bandwidth affects transfer time.
- ✗
The version of the Oracle client used by applications
Why it's wrong here
Client version is usually compatible.
- ✓
The required downtime tolerance
Why this is correct
Minimal downtime requires CDC; offline is simpler but longer downtime.
- ✗
The number of stored procedures in the database
Why it's wrong here
Stored procedures are typically supported; not a major factor.
- ✗
The number of indexes on the source database
Why it's wrong here
Indexes are migrated automatically; not a key factor.
