Single Answer Multiple Choice
Which interactive command is used to terminate a data pump job so that it cannot be restarted again?
A. STOP_JOB
B. KILL_JOB
C. TERMINATE_JOB
D. You cannot stop a data pump job.
Answer:
B. KILL_JOB
Tutorial:
The KILL_JOB interactive command is used to terminate a data pump job so that it cannot be restarted later.
The STOP_JOB interactive command can be used to stop a data pump job. The stopped job can be restarted later.
The TERMINATE_JOB interactive command is an invalid interactive command. This command does not exist in Oracle.
The option stating you cannot stop a data pump job is incorrect. A data pump job can be stopped using the STOP_JOB and KILL_JOB interactive commands.
