Which statements about PHP stack traces in TYPO3 are correct?

The system extension “EXT:debug” must be installed to generate stack traces in TYPO3

The most recent function call appears at the bottom of the stack trace

TYPO3 automatically writes all stack traces to the database table sys_log

A stack trace includes information such as function names, file names, class names, line numbers, etc.

Stack traces possibly contain sensitive information and should not be shown in production environments

Systems such as “Sentry” can be used to receive exceptions and track errors including stack traces

TYPO3 is more robust and fault tolerant if stack traces are enabled

Which statement about PHP exceptions and the error handling in TYPO3 is correct?

PHP exceptions indicate fatal errors and always immediately terminate the request which means that TYPO3 can’t handle PHP exceptions at all

TYPO3 does not provide an error handler that can deal with PHP exceptions but developers can implement a custom handler in their extensions if required

PHP exceptions can be logged if an appropriate error handler is configured in TYPO3

Developers can only catch PHP exceptions in classes that implement the LoggerAwareInterface

TYPO3 features a database abstraction layer (DBAL). What does this mean?

Due to the DBAL used by TYPO3, the system is limited to a maximum of 100,000 records per database table

The DBAL acts as an interface between the TYPO3 Core and the database server or engine

TYPO3 uses the PHP-based “Doctrine” DBAL to abstract the access to the concrete database

The DBAL used by TYPO3 requires a Java SDK installed on the server

The abstraction layer implements the permission concept for backend users in TYPO3

TYPO3 can connect to more than one database through the DBAL.
