2. Even if you decide to use hashing; a table cannot still separate indexes on any columns, including the cluster key?

3. Single-table hash cluster, provides fast access to rows in a table and this table must be the only table in the hash cluster. Essentially, there must be which mapping between hash keys and data rows?

While migrating the data, you want to have minimal impact on the database performance and optimize the data load operation. Which method would you use to load data into Oracle database?

8. SORT_AREA SIZE and HASH_AREA_SIZE parameters are ignored in some of the user sessions. What could be the reason?

9. When estimating the size of cluster indexes remember that the index is on each cluster key, not the actual rows. Therefore, each key appears only once in the index?
