Actual exam question for Oracle's 1Z0-084 exam
Question #: 9
Topic #: 8
Multiple sessions are inserting data concurrently into a table that has an LOB column.
At some point in time, one of the sessions cannot find available space in the LOB segment and needs to allocate a new extent.
Which wait event will be raised in the other sessions that need space in the LOB column?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

When sessions concurrently insert data into a table with an LOB column and one session needs to allocate a new extent because it cannot find available space, the wait event associated with this contention is "enq: HW - contention". The HW stands for High Water Mark which is related to space allocation in the database segment. When a session needs to allocate a new extent, it may raise this wait event in other sessions that are also attempting to allocate space in the same LOB segment.
