Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • DBMS_PDB.CHECK_PLUG_COMPATIBILITY

    Why this is correct

    This function performs a series of checks on the source database to ensure it can be plugged into the target CDB.

  • RMAN CONVERT

    Why it's wrong here

    RMAN convert is for cross-platform migration, not compatibility assessment.

  • DBUA

    Why it's wrong here

    The Database Upgrade Assistant is for upgrading, not pre-migration assessment.

  • SQL Developer

    Why it's wrong here

    While it has a migration wizard, the underlying engine uses the PDB compatibility check procedure.

  • Data Pump

    Why it's wrong here

    Data Pump is used for data movement, not compatibility analysis.
