Rowid Data Types

Every row stored in the database has an address. Oracle Database uses a ROWID data type to
store the address (rowid) of every row in the database. Rowids fall into the following categories:

Physical rowids store the addresses of rows in heap-organized tables, table clusters, and table and
index partitions.
Logical rowids store the addresses of rows in index-organized tables.
Foreign rowids are identifiers in foreign tables, such as DB2 tables accessed through a gateway.
They are not standard Oracle Database rowids.

What is HIPAA Compliance?

HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, sets the
standard for protecting sensitive patient data. Any company that deals with
protected health information (PHI) must ensure that all the required physical,
network, and process security measures are in place and followed.
This includes covered entities (CE), anyone who provides treatment,
payment and operations in healthcare, and business associates (BA), anyone
with access to patient information and provides support in treatment,
payment or operations. Subcontractors, or business associates of business
associates, must also be in compliance.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule addresses the saving, accessing and sharing of medical and
personal information of any individual, while the HIPAA Security Rule more
specifically outlines national security standards to protect health data created, received,
maintained or transmitted electronically, also known as electronic protected health
information (ePHI).

Oracle General Question &

Answers:
1. What is data?
Data is a collection of raw, facts and figures that is use in different place we can store anything in database
is called data.
2. What is database?
Collection of organized data which can easily managed access, understand, and update.
3. What is database management system?
Any programming environment used to create containers, to manage human data, can be conceptualized
as a Data Management System
4. What is table?
It is a set of elements that is consist of rows and columns in which we can store our data. In any table we
define specified no, of columns and there are many no. of rows are available in table that is use for store
the data row wise.
5. What is column?
Column is a one element of table that is use logically vertical shape in table. We define specified no. of
columns in one table then store data in it.
6. What is row?
Rows are also second element of table that is use for store the data in table as a horizontally shape. We
can enter many rows in one table. In database terms we can say one record to one row in table.
7. What is primary key?
A primary is uniquely identifies a row of the table this key ensure two things one is that null value does not
allow and duplicate value also not allowed in table. A table must always have one and only one primary
key. Primary key value is normally employee code, Driving license code, NIC code etc.
8. What is foreign key?
A foreign key is a references or a link between one table and another. The foreign key can be used to cross
reference tables. A foreign has a link with parent table (that have primary key value). Suppose we have one
table with primary key and w have second table that have foreign key and have a relation with parent table
than we must enter the values in second table that is totally related with parent table.
9. What is unique key?
Unique key does not accept duplicate values but accept null values in oracle. Unique key is very much
related with primary key in primary key we cannot enter NULL value and also duplicate value. But on the
other hand in unique key we can enter NULL value but not duplicate value. For example in employee
database we set Driving license no. unique because one employee have unique license no. and some
employees have not.
10. What is the difference between primary key and unique key?
Unique key does not accept duplicate values but accept null values and primary key does not accept both
two either NULL or duplicate data.
11. What is Null constraint?
The columns that have NULL constraint must fill with some data. A column in a table can be specified not
null. Its not possible to insert a null in such a column we cannot leave any column empty in tables that
have NULL constraint. It should be fill with no matter with duplication of that.
12. What is the maximum no. of column in oracle table?
The maximum no. of columns is 255.
13. Is COMMIT statement can be use in database trigger?
We cannot use any transaction control statement (like commit, rollback, savepoint etc.) into the body of a
trigger. But oracle provides a facility called Autonomous Transactions through which you can achieve this.
You add that piece of the code, which contains commit, in some block and make that block as Autonomous
Transaction and call or use that block into your trigger.
