Answer: A

For very important databases, the want to execute additional proactive checks (possibly daily
During low peak interval periods). You can schedule periodic health checks through the health
Monitor or by using the RMAN VALIDATE command. In general, when a reactive check detects
Failure (s) in a database component, your may want-to-execute a more complete check of the affected
Component.
The RMAN VALIDATE DATABASE command is used-invoke health checks for the database and
Its components . It extends the existing VALIDATE BACKUPSET command.Any problem detected

Failure is detected, it's logged into ADR as a finding. can use the LIST FAILURE command to
View all failures recorded in the repository.
The VALIDATE command supports validationof individual backup sets and data blocks.In a
Physical corruption, the database does not recognize the block at all. In a logical corruption, the
Contents of the block is logically inconsistent. By default, the VALIDATE command checks for
Physical corruption only. You can specify check LOGICAL-to-check for LOGICAL corruption as well.
Block corruptions can divided into interblock corruption and intrablock corruption. In Intrablock
Corruption, the corruption occurs within the block itself and canbe either physical or logical
corruption. In interblock corruption, the corruption occurs between blocks and can is only logical
corruption. The VALIDATE command checks for Intrablock corruptionsonly.
