Exam Preparation: Advanced Database Administration

The uploaded document, "Architecture et Administration des Bases de Données," covers advanced

database concepts with a focus on Oracle Database management. Here's a summary and key

points to help with your exam preparation:

Key Topics

1. Basics of Databases and SGBD

- Definitions and objectives of databases.

- SGBD functionalities: data definition (DDL), manipulation (DML), and access control (DCL).

- Examples: Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL.

2. Oracle Tools and Architecture

- Administration tools: Oracle Enterprise Manager, SQL*Plus, etc.

- Development tools: Oracle Developer, SQL*Forms, Reports.

- Functional architecture: SQL and PL/SQL.

3. Database Administration

- Creating users, tables, and views.

- Assigning roles and privileges.

- Types of privileges: system-level (e.g., CREATE TABLE) and object-level (e.g., SELECT on a

table).

4. Views and Sequences

- Views: logical tables for data abstraction and security.

- Sequences: generate primary key values.


5. Database Links and Synonyms

- Database links: enable access to remote databases.

- Synonyms: alias for database objects for simplified access.

6. PL/SQL

- Structured programming within the database.

- Includes blocks, procedures, functions, and triggers.

7. Tablespaces and Clusters

- Tablespaces: manage storage.

- Clusters: optimize query performance.

8. Replication and Distributed Databases

- Replication techniques: snapshots, materialized views.

- Architectures: centralized, distributed, fragmented.

Key Points for Exam

1. Core SQL Commands:

- Create tables: CREATE TABLE ...

- Modify tables: ALTER TABLE ...

- Grant privileges: GRANT SELECT ON ... TO ...

- Revoke privileges: REVOKE SELECT ON ... FROM ...

2. PL/SQL Blocks:

- Structure: DECLARE, BEGIN, EXCEPTION, END.

- Example: Cursors and triggers.


3. Roles and Privileges:

- Assign roles: GRANT <role> TO <user>;

- Create custom roles: CREATE ROLE <role>;

4. Views and Synonyms:

- Create view: CREATE VIEW ... AS SELECT ...

- Create synonym: CREATE SYNONYM <name> FOR <object>;

5. Database Management Tasks:

- User creation: CREATE USER <name> IDENTIFIED BY <password>;

- Storage management using tablespaces.

6. Advanced Features:

- Data replication: snapshots and materialized views.

- Distributed database architectures: shared-memory, shared-disk, shared-nothing.
