Question

Which is NOT a supported workload type for Oracle Autonomous Database?

A. Data Warehouse.
B. Transaction Processing.
C. JSON.
D. PostgreSQL.

Answer

D. PostgreSQL.

Explanation

Oracle Autonomous Database is specifically built and optimized to run Oracle Database engines and does not support PostgreSQL as a workload type. When deploying an Oracle Autonomous Database, you must choose from distinct, purpose-built workload types tailored for specific application needs. The supported workload types are Data Warehouse (for analytic and decision-support queries), Transaction Processing (for standard OLTP and mixed business applications), JSON Database (for developing NoSQL-style document-centric applications), and APEX (for low-code application development).
