Exam 1z0-064 topic 1 question 23 discussion

Your database supports an OLTP system.
Examine the parameter values configured in your database:
sga_max_size = 480M
sga_target = 480M
pga_aggregate_target = 160M
The CUSTOMERS table contains 8,000 rows. The CUST_ID column is the primary key and the COUNTRY_ID column contains only three possible values: 1111,
2222, and 3333.
You execute the commands:
SQL> EXECUTE DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS(SH,CUSTOMERS);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> CREATE INDEX COUNTRY_IDX ON CUSTOMERS (COUNTRY_ID);
Index created.
You then perform a series of INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations on the table.
View the Exhibit to examine the query and its execution plan.

Which two options can improve the performance of the query without significantly slowing down the DML operations? (Choose two.)
