Oracle MySQL 5.7 Database Administrator 1z0-888 Exam Dumps: Updated Questions & Answers (October 2025)

Question # 1

The ‘applicationdb’ is using InnoDB and consuming a large amount of file system space. You have a /backup partition available on NFS where backups are stored.

You investigate and gather this information:

Three tables are stored in the InnoDB shared tablespace and the details are as follows:

    The table data_current has 1,000,000 rows.

    The table data_reports has 1,500,000 rows.

    The table data_archive has 4,500,000 rows.

You attempt to free space from ibdata1 by taking a mysqldump of the data_archive table and storing it on your backup partition.

Unfortunately, this action does not free any actual disk space back to the file system and the server disk space is running out.

Which set of actions will allow you to free disk space back to the file system?

A.

Enable compression on the table, causing InnoDB to release unused pages on disk to the file system:

B.

Execute OPTIMIZE TABLE so that the InnoDB engine frees unused pages on disk back to the file system:

C.

Set the server to use its own tablespace, and then alter the table so that data is moved from the shared tablespace to its own:

D.

Take a backup, stop the server, remove the data files, and restore the backup:

Question # 2

The MySQL user ‘adam’ currently has USAGE permissions to the database.

The football database is transactional and has non-stop updates from application users. The ‘adam’ user needs to be able to take consistent backups of the football database by using the –-single-transaction option.

Which extra GRANT permissions are required for adam to take mysqldump backups?

A.

The ‘adam’ user must also have SINGLE TRANSACTION global grant to take a consistent backup.

B.

The ‘adam’ user needs the PROCESS privilege to be able to take a consistent backup while other users are connected.

C.

The ‘adam’ user must have the SUPER privilege in order to take data backups.

D.

The ‘adam’ user must also have SELECT on the football database for backup to work.

Question # 3

A MySQL server was initialized with separate UNDO tablespaces. Users complain that when they roll back large transactions, the time to process the request takes too long. The DBA would like to move the MySQL InnoDB UNDO tablespace to a solid-state drive (SSD) for better performance. Is this possible and how?

A.

Yes. Shut down the mysqld process, enable the transportable_tablespace option, and move the UNDO directory to the SSD.

B.

Yes. Shut down, copy the UNDO tablespaces to the new location, and change the innodb_undo_directory value in your my.cnf.

C.

No. The UNDO tablespaces must remain on the same file system as the system tablespaces.

D.

No. The sequential write pattern of the UNDO tablespaces is not supported on modern SSD block devices.

Question # 4

To satisfy a security requirement, you have created or altered some user accounts to include REQUIRE X509.

Which additional task needs to be performed for those user accounts to fulfill the requirement to use X509?

A.

Install the X509 plug-in on the server.

B.

Set the X509 option in the [client] section of the MySQL server’s configuration file.

C.

Restart the server with the --require-x509 option.

D.

Distribute client digital certificates to the client computers being used to log in by the user accounts.

E.

Provide users access to the server’s private key.

Question # 5

You are receiving complaints from your application administrators that they are seeing periodic stalls in database response (no queries to any table are returning results for several seconds or longer). You monitor your system and notice that the durations of those stalls correspond to peaks in disk I/O.

Which 2 things should you investigate?

A.

Check the rate of change in the status value Aborted_connects and compare to the rate of change in Connections.

B.

Check the difference between the InnoDB status values “Log Sequence number” and “Last Checkpoint” positions then compare that to the total size of the redo log.

C.

Check the rate of change in the status value Select_scan and compare to the rate of change in Com_select.

D.

Check the difference between the InooDB status values “Trx id counter” and “Purge done for” and compare to the state substatus of the main “Main thread”

E.

Check the rate of change in the statis value Qcache_hits and compare that to the rate of change of Qcache_not_cached.

Question # 6

You have installed the validate_password plug-in and set the validate_password_policy variable.

Which validation is affected by the validate_password_policy setting?

A.

whether a new password is rejected if it contains a word found in a dictionary file.

B.

whether a new password is rejected if it contains the current user’s username.

C.

the amount of delay after an incorrect password is entered

D.

the length of time before a newly created password expires

Question # 7

Which two methods will provide the total number of partitions on a table? (Choose two.)

A.

Query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS table

B.

Use the command: SHOW TABLE STATUS

C.

Query the performance_schema.objects_summary_global_by_type table

D.

Query the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES table for the partition_count

E.

Question # 8

Which two statements are true about InnoDB auto-increment locking? (Choose two.)

B.

InnoDB always protects auto-increment updates with a table-level lock

C.

InnoDB does not use locks to enforce auto-increment uniqueness.

D.

The auto-increment lock can be a table-level lock.

E.

Some settings for innodb_autoinc_lock_mode can help reduce locking.

Question # 9

You are no longer able to log in to an existing MySQL Server because the root password credentials not working. You need to reset the root password to complete various administrative tasks. What are the two major methods that will achieve this? (Choose two.)

A.

Start the MySQL Server in --safe-mode, which only loads the privilege system for changes as data is inaccessible.

B.

Start the MySQL Server with reset-root-password in my.cnf, which will prompt you to enter a new root user password.

C.

Start the MySQL Server with --init-file pointing to SQL that executes an ALTER USER statement to change the root user password.

D.

Start the MySQL Server with --skip-grant-tables and execute SQL, which will update the root password.

E.

Start the MySQL Server with –initialize-insecure to force a password reset procedure on the command line.
