IBM 000-612 Exam: Your Questions, Answered
Head to the vendor's official registration channels:
One detail worth checking at booking: the 000-612 exam runs Onsite at Pearson VUE test centers, so choose the format you are most comfortable with.
The vendor officially recommends:
Take the courses for the theory, then switch to measurement: the 000-612 practice questions from PracticeVCE — with auto-graded mock tests — show you what is actually sticking.
You're looking at 63 - 67 questions in 90 minutes. Do the math early, not in the exam room: decide your per-question pace, practice skipping hard items without panic, and finish at least two full timed mock tests — the PracticeVCE engine grades them automatically in about a minute, so you get instant feedback on where your time goes.
Delivery is the easy part: pay, click the email link that arrives within a minute, and the 000-612 files download in about a minute — no extra software, no installation limits. If 2 hours pass with nothing, our support team will fix it. The refund side runs on clear rules: take the corresponding 000-612 exam within 60 days of purchase, and if you fail, submit a scanned enrollment slip plus the official Score Report PDF within 2 days of the exam for a 100% refund, processed within 7 days. Exams sat within 3 days of purchase don't qualify, candidate and payer names must match, and free or expired products are excluded. Prefer an exchange? Take two equal-value exam products free of charge and keep your original updates.
You need 59% - 60% to pass, and registration costs 200 USD at the official rate. One uncomfortable truth: the fee is per attempt, so a fail means paying it again. Candidates who self-test first — with auto-graded mock exams built from the 134 questions at PracticeVCE — tend to pay that fee exactly once.
The vendor's blueprint for the IBM Certified Database Administrator - DB2 10 for z/OS has 4 domains, led by Backup, Recovery and Utilities (22%), Performance and Availability (28%), Database Design and Implementation (30%). The weighting is a study plan in disguise — heavy domains deserve heavy hours. You'll find every domain and subtopic in the complete outline above.

- D. SYSCTRL
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
What must be done in order to audit read access to a table?
- A. AUDIT ALLmust be set on the table and an audit trace must be started.
- B. An EDITPROC must be defined on the table and an audit trace must be started.
- C. A security label column should be defined on the table within a trusted context.
- D. DATA CAPTURE CHANGES must be set on the table and the DB2 log must be captured.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
When defining a foreign key on a table, which statement is true?
- A. It is not mandatory to have anindex on the foreign key columns but it can help to avoid locking problems.
- B. There is no need to define an index on the foreign key columns as DB2 cannot use an index for foreign key checking.
- C. You must define an index on the foreign key columns where the index columns are the same as the foreign key columns to guarantee uniqueness of the foreign key.
- D. It is not mandatory to have an index on the foreign key columns but it can help performance when you insert rows into this table.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
Your current backup strategy is to run COPY SHRLEVEL CHANGE for all your table spaces each night. You create FULL image copies once a week and INCREMENTAL copies during the rest of the days. After migrating to DB2 10, you plan to create the FULL image copies using FLASHCOPY YES and COPYDDN, that is you create a flash copy image copy (FCIC) andadditionally a sequential copy. What happens to the incremental copies that you continue to create on all other days?
- A. If DSNZPARM FLASHCOPY_COPY is set to YES, the incremental copies will automatically be incremental FLASHCOPY copies.
- B. The first image copy utility execution after the FULL FCIC and sequential copy created from the FCIC will end up as FULL copy although you specify the FULL NO statement on theCOPY utility control statement.
- C. The COPY utilities with FULL NO option will not run. If there are entries in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY that indicate thatFCICs exist for a give page set, INCREMENTAL copies cannot be taken anymore.
- D. Nothing special. The only difference is that the FULL copy, which is the basis for the subsequent incremental copies has now been generated from the FCIC.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
If a ROWID column is defined on a table as GENERATED BY DEFAULT, what must also be done?
- A. A unique index must be defined on the ROWID column.
- B. An identity column must also be created to control uniqueness.
- C. Extra space must be allocated for an overflow area in the table space.
- D. Nothing because DB2 will control the values.
