Help / Policies & FAQs - Account & Login
Your personal details do not all sit in one place, and saying where each part lives answers this more plainly than any blanket claim could. DBExam itself keeps the email address and the account information you entered at registration, and effectively nothing more. Your card and bank details are never with DBExam at all — they go to the payment gateway that takes the charge, and are settled on that side. So the information the site actually holds about you is short and unsurprising, and the details that most need protecting are simply not among them.
It is worth taking the two sides in turn — what is recorded against your account here, and why the most sensitive detail of a purchase never lands on DBExam at all.
What DBExam Records Against Your Oracle Account
Only a small, predictable set of things is filed against your account, and every one of them came from you: the email you registered with, the username and account details you set at sign-up, and the trail of your own practice — the Oracle exam you are preparing for and the sittings you have taken. That is what the platform needs to do its job — to sign you in, to send a reset link when you ask for one, and to keep your practice and any Premium access attached to the right person. No identity documents are gathered and nothing is collected that has no use; the set is small because the job is small.
Why Your Card Details Never Land on DBExam
The details you would least want kept on a practice site are the ones it never receives. Buying Premium sends your card or bank details to the payment gateway that processes the charge, not to DBExam — the site learns that a payment cleared, never the numbers behind it, and the instruments the gateway accepts are listed under What Payment Methods Are Supported? A database professional will recognise the instinct: the most sensitive column is the one you keep out of the everyday application and leave to a system built to hold it, rather than copying it into your own tables. Card data here is treated exactly that way — it belongs to the gateway, and there is no store of it on DBExam to be lost, because none is kept.
So your information is secure in the way that counts for most: the sensitive part — your card and bank details — is never stored by DBExam at all, and the rest is only the email and account details you chose to give. No security seal or certification mark is claimed here, and none is implied; there is nothing here you must take on trust, only a plain division you can follow. The access side of it — your password and the single live session — belongs to a different answer, Is My Data Secure on DBExam?

The question really holds two, and they have opposite answers. How many devices may you use? As many as you like — DBExam is not tied to one registered machine, and any browser can open your Oracle certification practice. How many may be signed in at the same moment? Just one: only a single session is ever live on your account, so signing in somewhere new closes whichever one was already open. Free to move between devices, then, but one active login at a time.
Those two halves are easily blurred, so take each on its own — first the device side, which is open, then the session side, which is the one real limit.
Any Device with a Browser, No App to Install
You reach DBExam the same way everywhere: through an ordinary web browser, with nothing to download and no native app on any platform. There is no list of approved devices to register and no per-machine limit, so a desktop, a laptop or a tablet all reach the same account, and you move between them as freely as your day requires. Whether a small screen is a comfortable place to sit a full Oracle exam is its own question, and the answer sits on the Can I Use DBExam on Mobile or Tablet? page; here the point is only that the browser, not an installed app, is the door on every device.
Why Only One Oracle Session Stays Live
The limit is on sessions running at once, not on the machines behind them. Your account holds one live session and gives it to your most recent sign-in: begin a new one and the earlier session simply stops being active, so two are never answering under your name together. Sign in on a second machine and the first session ends; come back to the first later and it just asks you to sign in again, with nothing lost in between. That is the concurrency side of the rule; the same single session also does security work, alongside the password on your account, which Is My Data Secure on DBExam? takes up.
So yes, move across as many devices as you like — the account travels with you rather than living on one machine — provided you accept that only the newest sign-in stays live and each fresh one closes the last. A browser on each device is the whole requirement, there is no app to install, and the single-session rule caps how many logins run at once, never the devices you use for your Oracle practice.

If your DBExam password has slipped, the login page can put it right without anyone’s help. It carries a reset option — at /user/password — that sends a link to the email your account runs on; open the link, set a new password, and you are back to your Oracle certification practice. It hinges on the email address alone, so you are not asked to recall any security answers, to ring a helpline, or to raise a support ticket for an ordinary forgotten password.
That email is the one thread the reset hangs on, so the rest comes down to how to run it and what to do in the single case where the email itself is the problem.
Getting Back Into Your Oracle Practice Account
Start at the login page and choose the reset link at /user/password, then enter the email address you registered with. DBExam sends a reset link to that inbox; follow it, choose a new password, and sign in again — the reset touches nothing else, so your saved attempts and any Premium access are exactly where you left them. If the message does not appear within a few minutes, the likeliest reasons are a spam or junk folder catching it, or the address being mistyped on the form, so it is worth checking both before requesting another. Because the exchange runs entirely between you and your own inbox, the only thing to wait for is the message itself.
If You Can No Longer Open the Registered Email
The reset only works while you can still reach the inbox it is sent to, so the one situation it cannot resolve on its own is losing the registered email entirely — a work address you have left behind, or an inbox you can no longer sign in to. That is when to email support@dbexam.com, giving whatever account details you still can, so the team can work out the right way forward. It is the single exception; every other forgotten password is settled by the reset link and never needs a person on the other end.
So a forgotten password is rarely more than a two-minute detour: request the reset at /user/password, follow the link that reaches your inbox, and choose something new. Only a registered email you can no longer open turns it into a support matter — then support@dbexam.com is the way through, and in every other case the reset link settles it alone.

Creating an account is one short form and nothing more: you name the Oracle certification exam you are preparing for, choose a username and password, give an email address, accept the Terms, and clear a reCAPTCHA. Submit it and you are in. There is no confirmation email to chase before the account works, no phone number asked for, and nothing to pay at this point — registering and buying Premium are separate steps, and only the first is needed to reach the free Demo.
It is a small set of fields, and one of them does more than the rest, so here is what the form asks for and why.
What You Enter to Open an Oracle Practice Account
The registration page gathers just a handful of things:
- The Oracle certification exam you have in view — a selection the form insists on, so the account is aimed at the right practice from the first screen, and your Demo and any Premium open against the exam you actually want.
- A username and a password — the name you will sign in with and the secret that protects the account; a password you have not reused from another site is worth the moment it takes.
- An email address — where account messages reach you, and the address a password-reset link is sent to if you ever need one.
- The Terms and a reCAPTCHA — the tick that accepts the site’s terms of use, and the check that must be passed for the registration to go through.
From Sign-Up Straight into Oracle Practice
What the form leaves out matters as much as what it asks. The account does not wait on any email confirmation: submit the form and it is live, ready for the free Demo straight away. No phone number is collected, and no card — paying for Premium happens later, from the exam’s own page, only if and when you decide, as How Do I Purchase a Premium Practice Exam? describes. The only details DBExam holds from sign-up are the ones you see on the form, a point returned to under How Secure Is My Personal Information on This Site?
So one brief form makes the account: your Oracle certification exam, a username and password, an email, the Terms, and a reCAPTCHA — then you are practising. Nothing is charged to open it, no confirmation step stands in the way, and the account keeps only the few details it asked you for.

Yes. DBExam runs everything through a single account — it holds the Oracle exam you are preparing for, your saved attempts, and any Premium you buy — and that account has to exist before anything opens. The free ten-question Demo is no exception: you register and sign in to reach it exactly as you would for paid Premium, with no guest route to either. Setting it up is quick, and the exact form has a page of its own.
The free tier is the part worth being explicit about, so here is why even a no-cost Demo asks you to sign in first.
Why Even the Free Oracle Demo Asks You to Sign In
The Demo costs nothing, but it is still a genuine sitting rather than a preview you click through: its ten questions are marked at the end, and the full review of your answers is kept for you to reopen. A score that is marked, and a review saved for later, has to sit against a named account — hand the same sitting to an anonymous visitor and neither the score nor the review has anywhere to land. So the sign-in is not a barrier put in front of the free practice for its own sake; it is what lets that free practice leave you something to keep. How to reach the Demo once you are signed in is set out under What Is the Demo Practice Exam?
One Login for Every Oracle Exam You Prepare For
Because Oracle is the single vendor here, one account comfortably carries a whole run of preparation: the exam you register with today, and any other — an OCI credential now, a MySQL or DBA one later — that you take up afterwards, each opening from the same login. You do not make a second account for Premium or a third for the next exam; whatever you run in the Demo now and any Premium you go on to buy both belong to the one account you already hold, with nothing to move between them. That single login is also the thing worth protecting, since everything under your name here answers to it.
In short, the account is not optional and not an afterthought: it stands ahead of both tiers, the free Demo included. Set it up once, and one DBExam login then covers every Oracle exam you prepare for, from that first Demo to any Premium — and How Do I Create an Account? walks through the steps for making it.
