Does DBExam Keep My Attempt History?
Yes — every sitting you finish is logged, and the one thing that ever takes an attempt off the list is its own 65-day clock reaching zero, at which point the system clears it automatically. Short of that the record is left untouched: no older run is dropped to make space and no attempt is cut short of its window, so on the Demo and on Premium alike the full set of your sittings stays there to reopen.
What one of those entries actually holds is the first thing to pin down; exactly how long it survives is the second, and that one has a firm, single answer.
What Your Oracle Attempt History Records
Each entry is one completed sitting, and it stays openable: you can bring any of them back for its score and another walk through the review. You can tell the sittings apart at a glance — a full-length run reads differently from a mini, and both from a Demo — and read the score each earned alongside whether it came out Passed or Failed once measured against the exam’s standard. It is a running log rather than a curated best-of: an Oracle Data Guard full from a fortnight ago sits in the same list as a SQL mini from this morning, the shaky attempts kept with the rest, because the point of the record is the sequence and not a highlight.
How Long Each Oracle Attempt Survives
The figure is a flat 65 days for every attempt, counted from the sitting itself. Each one carries its own expiry from the day you sat it, so records drop off singly, each on the day its own clock runs out, instead of the list emptying all at once. When an attempt reaches its 65th day the system takes it out — not you, and with no prompt beforehand — and it does not return. Inside that window nothing is thinned to make space, so whatever you have sat in the period is there in full to reopen. The one thing you cannot do is clear an attempt ahead of that schedule by hand, which is a limitation with a page of its own.
All told, DBExam does keep your Oracle history — every completed sitting, its score, its verdict and a way back into the review — for 65 days apiece, then clears each attempt automatically as it ages past the window, with nothing pruned early and nothing left for you to tidy.
