Which two statements are true about the RMAN validate database command?
A.
It checks the database for intrablock corruptions.
B.
It can detect corrupt pfiles.
C.
It can detect corrupt spfiles.
D.
It checks the database for interblock corruptions.
E.
It can detect corrupt block change tracking files.
Explanation:
Block corruptions can be divided Into Interblock corruption and intrablock corruption. In intrab- lock corruption.
th« corruption occurs within the block itself and can be either physical or logical corruption. In interblock
corruption, the corruption occurs between blocks and can only be logi- cal corruption.
(key word) * The VALIDATE command checks for intrablock corruptions only. Only DBVE- RIFY and the
ANALYZE statement detect Interblock corruption.
VALIDATE Command Output ··> List of Control File and SPFILE.
File TYPE >»» SPFILE or Control File.
Status >»» OK if no corruption, or FAILED If block corruption is found. Blocks Failing »»» The number of blocks

Oracle Database supports different techniques for detecting, repairing, and monitoring block corruption. The technique depends on whether the corruption is interblock corruption or intrablock corruption. In intrablock corruption, the corruption occurs within the block itself. This corruption can be either physical or logical. In an interblock corruption, the corruption occurs between blocks and can only be logical.
All database utilities detect intrablock corruption, including RMAN (for example, the BACKUP command) and the DBVERIFY utility. If a database process can encounter the ORA-1578 error, then it can detect the corruption and monitor it.
