    About Database Administrator Security and Privileges

    To perform the administrative tasks of an Oracle Database DBA, you need specific privileges within the database and possibly in the operating system of the server on which the database runs. Ensure that access to a database administrator’s account is tightly controlled.

    • The Database Administrator’s Operating System Account
      To perform many of the administrative duties for a database, you must be able to execute operating system commands.
    • Administrative User Accounts
      Oracle Database provides several administrative user accounts that are associated with administrative privileges.

  • Transaction Management

    Oracle Database is designed as a multiuser database. The database must ensure that multiple users can work concurrently without corrupting one another’s data.

    Transactions

    transaction is a logical, atomic unit of work that contains one or more SQL statements.

    An RDBMS must be able to group SQL statements so that they are either all committed, which means they are applied to the database, or all rolled back, which means they are undone.

    microsoft system center certification training courses malaysia

    An illustration of the need for transactions is a funds transfer from a savings account to a checking account. The transfer consists of the following separate operations:

    1. Decrease the savings account.
    2. Increase the checking account.
    3. Record the transaction in the transaction journal.

    Oracle Database guarantees that all three operations succeed or fail as a unit. For example, if a hardware failure prevents a statement in the transaction from executing, then the other statements must be rolled back.

    Transactions are one feature that set Oracle Database apart from a file system. If you perform an atomic operation that updates several files, and if the system fails halfway through, then the files will not be consistent. In contrast, a transaction moves an Oracle database from one consistent state to another. The basic principle of a transaction is “all or nothing”: an atomic operation succeeds or fails as a whole.

  • About Oracle Database Release Numbers

    Oracle Database releases are categorized by five numeric segments that indicate release information.

    kubernetes training courses malaysia

    Oracle Database releases are released in version and version_full releases.

    jboss training courses malaysia

    The version release is designated in the form major release version.0.0.0.0. The major release version is based on the last two digits of the year in which an Oracle Database version is released for the first time. For example, the Oracle Database version released for the first time in the year 2018 has the major release version of 18, and thus its version release is 18.0.0.0.0.

    juniper networks training courses malaysia

    The version_full release is an update of a version release and is designated based on the major release version, the quarterly release update version (Update), and the quarterly release update revision version (Revision). The version_full releases are categorized by five numeric segments separated by periods as shown in the following example:

    First numeral: This numeral indicates the major release version. It also denotes the last two digits of the year in which the Oracle Database version was released for the first time.

    Second numeral: This numeral indicates the release update version (Update).

    Third numeral: This numeral indicates the release update revision version (Revision).

    Fourth numeral: This numeral indicates the increment version. This nomenclature can apply to updates in future releases.

    Fifth numeral: This numeral is reserved for future use.

  • PL/SQL and Java

    PL/SQL is a procedural extension to Oracle SQL.

    PL/SQL is integrated with Oracle Database, enabling you to use all of the Oracle Database SQL statements, functions, and data types. You can use PL/SQL to control the flow of a SQL program, use variables, and write error-handling procedures.

    iot internet of things training courses malaysia

    A primary benefit of PL/SQL is the ability to store application logic in the database itself. A PL/SQL procedure or function is a schema object that consists of a set of SQL statements and other PL/SQL constructs, grouped together, stored in the database, and run as a unit to solve a specific problem or to perform a set of related tasks. The principal benefit of server-side programming is that built-in functionality can be deployed anywhere.

    ibm websphere training courses malaysia

    Oracle Database can also store program units written in Java. A Java stored procedure is a Java method published to SQL and stored in the database for general use. You can call existing PL/SQL programs from Java and Java programs from PL/SQL.

  • Identifying Your Oracle Database Software Release

    Kubernetes containerization training courses malaysia

    As many as five numbers may be required to fully identify a release.

    cloud computing training courses malaysia

    Because Oracle Database continues to evolve and can require maintenance, Oracle periodically produces new releases. Not all customers initially subscribe to a new release or require specific maintenance for their existing release. As a result, multiple releases of the product exist simultaneously.

    Structured Query Language (SQL)

    SQL is a set-based declarative language that provides an interface to an RDBMS such as Oracle Database.

    Procedural languages such as C describe how things should be done. SQL is nonprocedural and describes what should be done.

    devops training courses malaysia

    SQL is the ANSI standard language for relational databases. All operations on the data in an Oracle database are performed using SQL statements. For example, you use SQL to create tables and query and modify data in tables.

    iot training courses malaysia

    A SQL statement can be thought of as a very simple, but powerful, computer program or instruction. Users specify the result that they want (for example, the names of employees), not how to derive it. A SQL statement is a string of SQL text such as the following:

    CopySELECT first_name, last_name FROM employees;
    

    SQL statements enable you to perform the following tasks:

    • Query data
    • Insert, update, and delete rows in a table
    • Create, replace, alter, and drop objects
    • Control access to the database and its objects
    • Guarantee database consistency and integrity

    SQL unifies the preceding tasks in one consistent language. Oracle SQL is an implementation of the ANSI standard. Oracle SQL supports numerous features that extend beyond standard SQL.

  • About Connecting to the Database with SQL*Plus

    Oracle Database includes the following components: the Oracle Database instance, which is a collection of processes and memory, and a set of disk files that contain user data and system data.

    Veeam certification malaysia

    Each instance has an instance ID, also known as a system ID (SID). Because there can be multiple Oracle instances on a host computer, each with its own set of data files, you must identify the instance to which you want to connect. For a local connection, you identify the instance by setting operating system environment variables. For a remote connection, you identify the instance by specifying a network address and a database service name. For both local and remote connections, you must set environment variables to help the operating system find the SQL*Plus executable and to provide the executable with a path to its support files and scripts.

    Step 1: Open a Command Window

    Take the necessary action on your platform to open a window into which you can enter operating system commands.

    • Open a command window.
    1.3.3.3 Step 2: Set Operating System Environment Variables

    Depending on your platform, you may have to set environment variables before starting SQL*Plus, or at least verify that they are set properly.

    oracle certification malaysia

    For example, on most platforms, ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME must be set. In addition, it is advisable to set the PATH environment variable to include the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory. Some platforms may require additional environment variables:

    • On the UNIX and Linux platforms, set environment variables by entering operating system commands.
    • On the Windows platform, Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) automatically assigns values to ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID in the Windows registry.

    If you did not create a database upon installation, OUI does not set ORACLE_SID in the registry; after you create your database at a later time, you must set the ORACLE_SID environment variable from a command window.

    UNIX and Linux installations come with two scripts, oraenv and coraenv, that you can use to easily set environment variables. For more information, see Administrator’s Reference for UNIX Systems.

    For all platforms, when switching between instances with different Oracle homes, you must change the ORACLE_HOME environment variable. If multiple instances share the same Oracle home, you must change only ORACLE_SID when switching instances.

  • Indexes

    An index is an optional data structure that you can create on one or more columns of a table. Indexes can increase the performance of data retrieval.

    qa testing training courses malaysia

    When processing a request, the database can use available indexes to locate the requested rows efficiently. Indexes are useful when applications often query a specific row or range of rows.

    software development training courses malaysia

    Indexes are logically and physically independent of the data. Thus, you can drop and create indexes with no effect on the tables or other indexes. All applications continue to function after you drop an index.

  • Tables

    A table describes an entity such as employees.

    checkpoint certification malaysia

    You define a table with a table name, such as employees, and set of columns. In general, you give each column a name, a data type, and a width when you create the table.

    cisco certification malaysia

    A table is a set of rows. A column identifies an attribute of the entity described by the table, whereas a row identifies an instance of the entity. For example, attributes of the employees entity correspond to columns for employee ID and last name. A row identifies a specific employee.

    aws certification malaysia

    You can optionally specify a rule, called an integrity constraint, for a column. One example is a NOT NULL integrity constraint. This constraint forces the column to contain a value in every row.
