INTRODUCTION TO ORAC"E

C"IENT SERVER COM!UTIN# ARCHITECTURE

It consists of two or more computers designated as client machine running an application program which

communicates with remote computer designated as server machine which serves request from client

machine. In basic model of client server computing, RB!" resides on server machine. #he application

program which resides on client machine interfaces with client software called middleware that are

responsible for communicating request $ results between their application programs and RB!".

C"IENT

#he Client is the front %N application of a database which interacts with the server. #he Client has more

responsibility for accessing the data, it concentrates on the requests. #he processing and presentation ismanaged by the server.

SERVER

#he "erver e&ecutes the 'racle software and these with the function required for simultaneous and shared

data e&cess. #he server receives and processes the "(l and )*+"(* declaration and that originates in the

client application.

#here are two types of Client "erver !odel are

#hree tier client "erver !odel

#wo tier Client "erver !odel: It improves the scalability by allowing upto --s of user and is very

fle&ible for data sharing. Client requests services whereas the server it provides its services. #here is one

limitation of this tier i.e. the design of this architecture scales up. #here are three components of client of

this tier:

atabase !anagement

#hree #ier Client "erver !odel: 0hen the less software is on the client, there is less worry about

security. "ince the importance software is on a server and in a more controlled environment. #he support

and installation cost of maintaining the software on a single server is much less than trying to maintain

the same software on --s of )Cs.

ADVANTA#ES O& C"IENT SERVER MODE"

It allows the user to wor1 in e&tensible form.

It can wor1 on any type of operating system eg. /NI2, *IN/2, 0in 34.

It provides the facility to establish the lin1 between remote databases.

It provides the facility of fast accessing of information and processing of data.

Better application performance and networ1 usage i.e. it reduces the networ1 time.

It is multiplatform and centrali5ed.

istributed computing as the servers act as a focal point for data management.

)rovides fle&ibility and full utili5ation of all resources.

#he same database is shared by different clients.

DISADVANTA#ES O& C"IENT SERVER MODE"

Bottlenec1: If a significant portion of application layer is moved to a server, the server may

become a bottle nec1 in the processing and distribution of data to the client

CREATE TA-"E/ 9 table is basic unit of storage. It is composed of rows and columns. #o create a

table we will name the table and the columns of the table. 0e follow the rules to name tables and

columns:

It must begin with a letter and can be up to ;- characters long.

It must not be duplicate and not any reserved word.

ORDER -Y C"AUSE /Eou can sort the results of query ina specific order using order by clause. It

allows sorting of query results by one or more columns. It can be done either in ascending or descending.

9 view is very commonly used database ob7ect that is derived at runtime. 9 view contains data of its

own. Its contents are derived from another table. #he command for creating view is CR%9#% I%0

command. %diting in the tables are automatically reflected in the views. It is virtual table $ does not have

any data of its own. "ynta& to create a view isCR%9#% G'R R%)*9C%H I%0 view name 9" sub query

#ypes of views are as follows:

Ve/$ It is defined as view that has more than one table specified in from clause and does not

contain following clauses i.e. distinct, aggregation, group by. #his type of view allows update, insert and

delete command to change data in table. "ynta& is

Ie Ve/$'racle also offers an inline view that is very handy and inline view is part of "(*

statements. It allows you in body of "(* statement to define "(* for view that "(* statement will use to

resolve its query.

M7ered Ve/$"napshot also called materiali5ed view. It is defined as copy of part of table orentire table. It reflects the current status of table that is being copied. #he original status table is also

called master table. #wo types are Read only and update. Readonly does not allow changes to be made in

view. It simply publishes and subscribes the replications. It allows changes in local copy which

periodically updates master table.

Se9:e;e2 /

'racle provides an ob7ect called a "equence that can generate numeric values. #he value generated can

have a ma&imum of ;4 digits. 9 sequence can be defined to

generate numbers in ascending or descending order.

provide intervals between numbers.

Caching of sequence numbers in memory.

9 sequence is a database ob7ect used to generate unique integers for use as primary 1eys. "ynta& is

Inde& is a way to store and search records in the table. #hese are used to improve the speed with which

records can be located and retrieved from the table. 'racle retrieves rows in table in one of two ways are:

By R'0I

By full table scan

#he creation and dropping of inde& doesnt affect the storage of data in the underlying tables.

Inde&es are primarily used for 6 reasons are:

#o ensure the uniqueness of the inde&ed columns values.

#o enhance performance.

#RANTIN# AND REVOKIN# !ERMISSIONS

#RANT / #he Drant statement provides various types of access to database

ob7ects such as tables, views and sequences. 9 privilege is consent to e&ecute an action or to access

another user ob7ect. #hese consents can be given by grant statement."ynta& is

#' username G0I#? DR9N# ')#I'NH

#he 0I#? DR9N# ')#I'N allows the grantee to in turn grant ob7ect privileges to other users.

O=>e;7 ?r@ee2

%ach ob7ect privileges that is granted authori5es the grantee to )erform some operation on the ob7ect. #he

user can grant all the privileges or grant only specific ob7ect privileges.

A"TER allows the grantee to change the table definition with the.

9*#%R #9B*% command.

DE"ETE allows the grantee to remove the records from the table with the %*%#% command.

INDEX allows the grantee to create an inde& on the table with the CR%9#% IN%2 command.

INSERT allows the grantee to add records to the table with the IN"%R# Command.

SE"ECT allows the grantee to query the table with the "%*%C# Command.

U!DATE allows the grantee to modify the records in the tables with the /)9#% command.

%&ample to grant select $ insert privileges on table item to user named as mohit.

REVOKE /

)rivileges once given can be denied to a user using the R%'J% command. #he ob7ect owner can revo1e

privileges granted to another user. 9 user of an ob7ect who is not the owner, but has been granted the

DR9N# privilege, has the power to R%'J% the privileges from a grantee. #he R%'J% statement is

used to deny the grant given on an ob7ect.

!ATTERN MATCHIN#

"(* includes string matching operator *IJ% for comparison on character string using patterns. #he

"IKEpredicate allows for a comparison of one string with another string value, which is not identical.

#his is achieved by using wildcard characters. #he patterns are case sensitive and that is uppercase letters

do not match lower case characters. #he 1eyword N'# *IJ% is used to select those rows that do not

match the specified pattern of characters.

CONSTRAINT

Constraints are the rules that restrict the data values inserted in columns of a table. It helps in

maintaining integrity of table at database level instead of application level. 9ll application can ta1e

advantage of these global constraints, rather than building similar logic in individual application.

Constraints can constrain single column or group of columns in a table. Constraints can be specified astwo types:

Column level constraint

#able level constraint

Column level constraint : Column constraints are specified as part of column definition to constrain single

column.

#able level constraint : #able constraints is specified at end of create table statement to constraint more

than one column.

8ollowing are the constraints used in tables are

NU""+NOT NU"" / "pecifies if the column must contain value or might not contain any. By default all

columns in a table allows nulls, ie. 9bsence of a value in a column. N'# N/** specifies that all rows in

the table to have value for specified column. 9ll N'# N/** columns are mandatory fields.
