Question
Which of the following is the correct order of the steps in the database deployment process?
- A. 1. Connect, 2. Install, 3. Configure, 4. Confirm prerequisites, 5. Validate, 6. Test, 7. Release
- B. 1. Configure, 2. Install, 3. Connect, 4. Test, 5. Confirm prerequisites, 6. Validate, 7. Release
- C. 1. Confirm prerequisites, 2. Install, 3. Configure, 4. Connect, 5. Test, 6. Validate, 7. Release Correct
- D. 1. Install, 2. Configure, 3. Confirm prerequisites, 4. Connect, 5. Test, 6. Validate, 7. Release
Explanation
A deployment starts by confirming the prerequisites (hardware, operating system, dependencies and licensing), because the installation can fail or be unsupported without them. The database software is then installed, configured, and connected to the application and network, after which it is tested, validated against the requirements, and finally released to production. The other orders install or connect before the prerequisites are checked, or configure before anything is installed, which cannot work.
