Oracle Server Technology Interview Questions and Answers

Updated 2 Dec 2015

7 Interview questions

A Server Technology was asked
Q. What is the difference between mutexes and semaphores?
Ans. 

Mutex and semaphores are synchronization mechanisms used in multi-threaded environments.

  • Mutex is used to provide mutual exclusion, allowing only one thread to access a shared resource at a time.

  • Semaphore is used to control access to a shared resource by multiple threads, allowing a specified number of threads to access it simultaneously.

  • Mutex is binary, meaning it has only two states: locked or unlocked.

  • Semaphore ...

A Server Technology was asked
Q. How do you find the nth node in a linked list?
Ans. 

To find the nth node in a linked list, iterate through the list until reaching the nth node.

  • Start at the head of the linked list

  • Iterate through the list, moving to the next node each time

  • Stop when reaching the nth node

A Server Technology was asked
Q. Design a data structure for the efficient implementation of cache-level memory.
Ans. 

The data structure for efficient implementation of cache level memory is a multi-level cache hierarchy.

  • Use a multi-level cache hierarchy with different levels of cache (L1, L2, L3, etc.)

  • Each cache level should have a smaller size and faster access time compared to the previous level

  • Implement a cache coherence protocol to ensure consistency between different cache levels

  • Use a replacement policy (e.g., LRU - Least R...

A Server Technology was asked
Q. How can question 1 be solved with O(n) and O(log n) time complexity?
Ans. 

To solve question 1 with O(n) time complexity, iterate through the array once. To solve with O(logn) time complexity, use binary search.

  • For O(n) time complexity, iterate through the array once and perform the required operations.

  • For O(logn) time complexity, use binary search to find the desired element or perform the required operations.

  • O(n) time complexity is generally faster than O(logn) time complexity for smal...

A Server Technology was asked
Q. Given a binary search tree (BST), perform a pre-order traversal iteratively (without recursion).
Ans. 

Pre-order traversal of a BST iteratively

  • Create an empty stack and push the root node onto it

  • While the stack is not empty, pop the top node and print its value

  • Push the right child onto the stack if it exists

  • Push the left child onto the stack if it exists

A Server Technology was asked
Q. Memory Management Scheme in UNIX OS
Ans. 

UNIX OS uses a dynamic memory management scheme to allocate and deallocate memory efficiently.

  • UNIX OS uses virtual memory to provide each process with its own address space.

  • The memory management scheme includes techniques like paging and segmentation.

  • Paging divides memory into fixed-size pages and maps them to physical memory.

  • Segmentation divides memory into logical segments of varying sizes.

  • UNIX OS uses demand pa...

A Server Technology was asked
Q. ACID properties
Ans. 

ACID properties are a set of characteristics that ensure reliability and consistency in database transactions.

  • ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability.

  • Atomicity ensures that a transaction is treated as a single, indivisible unit of work.

  • Consistency ensures that a transaction brings the database from one valid state to another.

  • Isolation ensures that concurrent transactions do not interfere ...

Round: Test
Experience: Aptitude Round (general for all oracle sections like systems, gcs, AD, ST).Followed by technical and HR round.

General Tips: Great experience with interview panel. I was suffering from severe throat infection and voice was not coming out properly. They dint care about all that and checked my skills and selected me. And also they have invited us for breakfast in Taaj the very next day. Feel its awesome company and great work culture.
Programming : Tree, Btree, Tries ..
Operating System: Memory Management
Networks: OSI model
DBMS : basics. they dint ask me any.
showcase your interest in big data, servers and passion for technology.
Skill Tips: Don't expect direct questions from geeksforgeeks. To me they asked my favourite subject but from other friends i got to know that whatever you say they will come to Operating System, Virtualisation, C programming. My advice is to cover Operating System in depth and have idea about virtualization.
