. The Oracle Database (commonly referred to as
Oracle RDBMS or simply as Oracle) is an object-
relational database management system produced and
marketed by Oracle Corporation.

Larry Ellison and his friends and former co-workers


Bob Miner and Ed Oates started Software
Development Laboratories (SDL) in 1977. The name
Oracle comes from the code-name of a CIA(central
intelligence agency).

Oracle Corporation is an American multinational
computer technology corporation that specializes in
developing and marketing hardware systems and
enterprise software products – particularly database
management systems.

Oracle is written in C. There's a set of tables that start


with X$ which are actually exposed C structures that
you can, with the right privileges query
Object-relational database
management system

ORDBMS, is a database management system (DBMS)
similar to a relational database, but with an object-
oriented database model: objects, classes and inheritance
are directly supported in database schemas and in the
query language.

In object-relational databases, the approach is essentially


that of relational databases: the data resides in the
database and is manipulated collectively with queries in a
query language.

Oracle DBA

Oracle dba is a database ,in which you have study about
sql ,creating database ,analyzing and performance tuning
and data recovery

DBA's job is to manage the server related activities. with


everything SQL & PL/SQL

(DNS), which enables global communications
between all connected computing devices.

Grid computing is a term referring to the combination of
computer resources from multiple administrative domains
to reach a common goal. The grid can be thought of as a
distributed system with non-interactive workloads that
involve a large number of files

10g is Oracle's grid computing product group including
(among other things) a database management system
(DBMS) and an application server. In addition to
supporting grid computing features such as resource
sharing and automatic load balancing, 10g products
automate many database management tasks. The Real
Application Cluster (RAC) component makes it possible
to install a database over multiple servers.

Oracle Certification

All Oracle exams are either proctored or non-proctored:
Proctored exams are considered high-stakes
exams and are therefore only delivered with a proctor. All
exams, except Oracle Database OCM exams.

Non-proctored exams are available online without a proctor.


There are currently three types of non-proctored exams:
online exams, master assignments and free practice
questions.

Online Exams –
Oracle also offers several exams online without a
proctor, which provides a more accessible way to get
started on a certification path. Online exams, also referred
to as non-proctored exams do not require preregistration
or an appointment, and are available on-demand 24 hours
a day, seven days a week.
Oracle Architecture

The Oracle database has a logical layer and a physical layer.
The physical layer consists of the files that reside on the
disk; the components of the logical layer map the data to
these physical components.

The Physical Layer
One or more data files- One or more table
spaces.- Data files store the information contained in the
database. You can have as few as one data file or as many
as hundreds of data files
Two or more redo log files--Redo log files hold
information used for recovery in the event of a system
failure.

The Logical Layer
The database schema, which consists of items
such as tables, clusters, indexes, views, stored
procedures, database triggers, sequences, and so on.

Table spaces and Data files


The database is divided into one or more logical
pieces known as table spaces. A table space is used to
logically group data together.


As part of the process of creating the database,
Oracle automatically creates the SYSTEM table space for
you. Although a small database can fit within the
SYSTEM table space, it's recommended that you create a
separate table space for user data.
