The Data Load card in Database Actions (within ADB’s web interface) simplifies data loading. The false statement is:
You must first manually create your database credentials using DBMS_CLOUD.CREATE_CREDENTIAL before accessing your Oracle Object Storage Bucket (D):This is incorrect. The Data Load card automates credential management for Oracle Object Storage by leveraging the ADB instance’s IAM permissions. When you select an OCI Object Storage bucket in the UI, it uses the instance’s resource principal or user OCI credentials (e.g., from your signed-in OCI session), eliminating the need to manually run DBMS_CLOUD.CREATE_CREDENTIAL. For example, uploading sales.csv from a bucket via the Data Load card requires only bucket selection and file mapping—no PL/SQL credential setup. This automation enhances usability, contrasting with manual methods where CREATE_CREDENTIAL is needed (e.g., in SQL scripts).
The true statements are:
Data formats supported include: text, CSV, JSON, Avro, and Parquet (A):The Data Load card supports these formats, parsing them into tables using DBMS_CLOUD under the hood. E.g., a JSON file { "id": 1, "name": "John" } loads as rows.
Data can be loaded from a local data source (B):You can upload files directly from your local machine (e.g., a CSV on your desktop) via the browser interface, staging them temporarily for loading.
Data can be uploaded from several cloud storage sources including S3, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Object Storage (C):The card supports these external cloud sources, requiring credentials (e.g., AWS keys), alongside native OCI Object Storage integration.
Data can be loaded from a remote database using Database Links (E):DBLinks allow pulling data from another Oracle database (e.g., INSERT INTO local_table SELECT * FROM remote_table@link), supported in the Data Load card.
The automation of credentials in D is a key differentiator for the UI-based Data Load feature.
