Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Perform a cold backup and restore to an OCI block storage volume.
Why it's wrong here
This requires the source database to be shut down, resulting in downtime.
- ✗
Use Data Pump Export/Import with manual application of incremental backups.
Why it's wrong here
This method usually requires a significant maintenance window and does not support real-time sync.
- ✓
Implement Oracle GoldenGate for continuous logical replication.
Why this is correct
GoldenGate provides real-time capture and delivery, enabling near-zero downtime migrations.
- ✗
Use SQL Developer to manually generate and execute insert scripts for all tables.
Why it's wrong here
This is inefficient for large databases and does not handle synchronization effectively.
