the system. If the system is well tuned and properly sized, he can only analyze the situation and not solve it.

b) It is the job of end-users to optimize the coding, indexes and customizing and is responsible for the data model design.

c) In large installations it is always recommended to log the details of expensive statements in the system and send the summary to IT management if requested.

d) If an expensive statement is less critical, the user can be advised to run the same in the background or during periods of low system activity.

18) In case of an “Index Unique Scan” approximately how many blocks (table and index) could be accessed?a) 1b) 4c) 3

d) 10

19)Suppose one large table ZVBAP has 10 fields apart from the primary key on the following 3 fields MANDT, VBELN and POSNR. Which of the following statement is correct?a) A statement such as: SELECT * FROM ZVBAP WHERE MANDT = ‘001’ AND

VBELN = ‘0000123’ AND POSNR = ‘0001’ is of type “Index Unique Scan” and will result in more than 1 records.

b) A statement such as: SELECT * FROM ZVBAP WHERE MANDT = ‘001’ AND VBELN = ‘0000123’ is of type “Index Range Scan” and will result in 0 or 1 number of records.

c) A statement such as: SELECT * FROM ZVBAP WHERE MANDT = ‘001’ AND POSNR = ‘0001’ is of type “Index Range Scan”. However it is inefficient leading to the reading of many index blocks that do not contain the requested data.

d) A statement such as: SELECT MANDT, VBELN, POSNR FROM ZVBAP WHERE MANDT = ‘001’ AND POSNR = ‘0001’ will return the data from the index blocks. In this case data blocks do not need to be read resulting in less buffer gets.

e) A statement such as: SELECT * FROM ZVBAP WHERE MANDT = ‘001’ AND MATNR = ‘00815’ is of type unselective “Index Range Scan”. This may lead to reading a very large fraction of index blocks. In such kind of selects maximum Gets/Execution could be = Number of table rows + number of index blocks.

20)Which of the following is true about “Full Table Scan”?a) No index is used during a full table scan.b) Each data block is read once.c) Maximum Gets/Execution could be = Number of table blocks + number of

index blocks

21)Which of the following statements are true?a) If table statistics exist, the Oracle cost based optimizer is used and the

estimated cost for the selected access path is > 0.b) If rule based optimizer is used than either ‘estimated costs = 0’ or no

estimated costs at all displayed in the explain output.c) In a query if the options used are not supported by rule based optimizer, the

cost based optimizer is used, although no statistics exist.d) None of the above.

22)Which of the following Oracle parameter control cost calculation functions?a) control_costb) db_file_multi_block_read_countc) eventsd) optimizer_index_cost_adje) cost_pool_size

23)What is SAP recommended value for db_file_multi_block_read_count?a) 16b) 8c) 10d) 24

24)Which of the following R/3 parameters control cost calculation functions?a) rsdb/max_blocking_factorb) dbs/ora/use_hints

25)What is SAP recommended value for rsdb/max_blocking_factor?a) 10b) 5c) 15d) 8

26)Which of the following statements about creating indexes are correct?a) Use only selective fields if possible.b) Use as few fields as possible. Thumb rule: Max 5.c) Create as many indexes per table as possible. There is no limit.d) You are free to change the index created by SAP.

27)Which of the following steps one can take before resorting to creating an index for a table in order to optimize an expensive SQL statement?a) Check for the missing index in DB02 and recreate them.b) Run update statistics.c) Change the code so that existing index can be used.d) Change SAP index without SAP approval.

28)Which of the following statements are true about “Similar Statements”?a) They use the same access path.b) Have the same or similar WHERE clause.c) Have different entries in the Shared SQL area.d) May not be individually expensive, but the sum of similar statements can be

expensive.e) None of the above.

29)Are the following statements similar:SELECT * FROM V_MARA WHERE MANDT = ‘001’ AND KOSTL IN (A, B)SELECT * FROM V_MARA WHERE MANDT = ‘001’ AND KOSTL IN (A, B, C)SELECT * FROM V_MARA WHERE MANDT = ‘001’ AND KOSTL IN (A, B, C, …, Z)a) Yesb) No

30)The Shared SQL Area treats statements as “different” if the character string is different.a) Falseb) True

31)How can you avoid similar statements?a) Change the ABAP code so that statements match exactly.b) Use the ABAP command FOR ALL ENTRIES instead of IN conditions.c) Write the statements once in upper case and once in lower case when you are

using third party tools.d) All of the above.

32)Which of the following statements are possible optimization methods for expensive statements with suitable access path?a) Pull the statement out of the loop or nested select if the where clause of the

driven statement does not change.b) Do no think of join or view instead of the nested select as join could be very

expensive.c) Process only those records that are required.d) None of the above.
