ORACLE THEORY

Oracle is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that allows users to store and retrieve data using a defined relational model, which consists of structural, integrity, and manipulation components. Data is organized in tables, ensuring integrity through unique attributes and integrity constraints, while SQL is used for data manipulation. Additionally, triggers in PL/SQL can automate actions in response to data changes in specific tables.

INTRODUCTION:

ORACLE is an RDBMS. RDBMS stands for Relational Data Base Management System. An RDBMS is a
computer program, which provides the user the facility to store and retrieve data in a manner consistent
with a defined model, called the Relational model.

INTRODUCTION TO RDBMS:
An RDBMS is a computer program, which provides the user the facility to store and retrieve data in a
manner consistent with a defined model, called the Relational model. It has three components:

1. Structural component to build the model-


 Relation(Table)
 Attributes(Columns)
 Tuples(Rows)
2. Integrity component, which defines the operational rules of the data, model.
3. Manipulation component, which is the component to manipulate the structure.

DATA STRUCTURE:
The fundamental rule of the relational model is that the data is seen as tables. A table is formally
referred to as a relation. Every relation has the same structure-i.e. the same number of columns and
rows. Each column which represents a attribute of the relation must be unique. Example:

ROLL NO NAME COURSE JOIN_DATE


1 SACHIN CCA 1-AUG-99
2 VIRAT DIA 2-JUL-98
3 KAPIL TALLY 12-MAY-99
4 SUNIL PGDCA 23-APR-2000

DATA INTEGRITY:
The relational model also provides data integrity, which means that the data is accepted based on
certain rules and therefore, data is valid. Example: ORACLE will ensure that roll numbers of the students
in the file is unique. Data integrity is maintained using a set of rules referred to as integrity constraints.

DATA MANIPULATION:
In order to create tables and manipulate the data within tables, Oracle provides the database access
language, called SQL. SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is a database language to help users
to extract information from a database easily. Oracle supports distributed databases which means that
many physically separate databases can appear to the users as a single database.
TRIGGERS:
Triggers are blocks of PL/SQL code written by users for a specific table. This code is triggered(or fired or
executed) when any INSERT,DELETE or UPDATE operation is performed on the table. It also helps in
performing complex security checking.
