01Oracle Data Platform Foundations
This domain tests how Oracle’s cloud data services fit together: the converged database, Autonomous Database workload choices, lakehouse access to object storage, integration services, and the security model that governs them. Expect scenario questions that ask you to choose the right service or architecture rather than recite product names. Converged database: one engine handles relational, JSON, XML, spatial, graph, text, and in-database machine learning. The exam favors reducing separate silos over adding a new database per data type.
