A database is a collection of data stored and organized so that it can be easily accessed, managed, and updated. A database management system (DBMS) is software that allows users to create and manage databases. A table is a structure that organizes data into rows and columns. The smallest unit of storage in a database is a block, while a single record in a table represents a set of related data. Data can be retrieved from a database using queries in SQL. A database schema describes the structure of a database, including its tables and their relationships. The Oracle database architecture includes physical structures like data and redo log files as well as logical structures like tablespaces and segments.

Define Architecture of Oracle.


A. The Oracle database architecture includes both logical and physical
structures as follows:
Physical: Control files; Redo Log Files; Data files; Operating System Blocks.
Logical: Table spaces; Segments; Extents; Data Blocks.

What makes SQL a nonprocedural language?


SQL is a very powerful non-procedural language in which you can communicate
tasks to the computer using simple commands. In general, a non-procedural
language (also called a non-procedural language) requires the programmer to
