Goals of this Course and Learning Path
Students come from a variety of backgrounds: New to databases
New to Oracle (previous experience with other platforms)
New to Oracle Database 12c
Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) learning path: Oracle Database 12c Fundamentals
Oracle Database 12c Installation and Upgrade
Oracle Database 12c Disaster Recovery and Data Movement
Get familiar with Oracle University (education.oracle.com)
What is Oracle Database 12c?
A database is an organized collection of data that is treated as a unit
A relational database management system (RDBMS) is the infrastructure that supports multi-user database access Secure data storage, quick retrieval by using SQL
Oracle is called an object-relational database
EF “Ted” Codd (1923-2003)
Key terms in relational theory: Relation = table
Attribute = column
Tuple = row
A Bit of Oracle Version History
Oracle v1 written but never officially released in 1978
Oracle 8i released in 1999 (i = Internet)
Oracle 10g released in 2003 (g = grid computing)
Oracle 12c released in 2014 (c = cloud)
Understanding Oracle Client/Server Architecture
Client (not the user): application that communicates either through a middle-tier (middleware) application or directly with Oracle server
Middle tier: Homegrown LOB, Oracle Fusion Applications/Middleware HTTP(S) Web server
Oracle Database itself comprises the “back end” storage tier Although the platform is capable of declarative/procedural logic
Oracle Exadata Database Machine
Database and Instance
Instance: Shared memory area (system global area, or SGA) and background processes
Database: Set of files, located on disk, that store data Data files, ORL files, control files, etc.
Single instance vs. clustered (grid) instance: Cluster involves several instances that access shared storage and a single
database in an active/active configuration
Multitenant Architecture (New in 12c!) Container database (CDB) with multiple pluggable databases (PDBs)
Provides hardware cost reduction, easier management/monitoring
Updates and maintenance can be performed just once on the CDB
Oracle Database 12c Memory Structures
System Global Area (SGA): Group of shared memory structures that store data and manage information for a single database instance
Program Global Area (PGA): Stores data and manages information for a server process or background process
System Global Area (SGA) Components
Database buffer cache: Stores copies of data blocks read from data files and waiting to be written to data files
Redo log buffer: Circular buffer that stores all changes made to the DB (can reconstruct DDL or DML operations)
Shared pool: “Catch all” bucket: Shared SQL, Data Dictionary cache, etc.
Large pool: Stores memory allocations that are larger than the shared pool can handle (overflow)
Java pool: Stores session-specific Java code within the JVM
Streams pool: Used in Oracle Streams database replication
Fixed SGA: Internal housekeeping area (locks, processes, etc.)
Program Global Area (PGA) Components
File clerk/countertop analogy for understanding the server process and the PGA
Session memory: logon information and session-related data
Private SQL area: Query execution work data
Restricting the PGA size (new in 12c!) PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT initialization parameter
Managing Memory in Oracle Database 12c
Automatic Memory Management MEMORY_TARGET initialization parameter
Automatic or Manual Shared Memory Management Pertains to the SGA
Automatic or Manual PGA Memory Management
Summary
Oracle Database is the back-end storage tier in a typical multi-tier client/server application architecture
An Oracle “database” actually consists of two parts: the instance and the database files
An Oracle instance consists of several memory structures and background processes SGA
PGA
The Oracle database, proper, consists of the file system objects Logical vs. physical distinction is a big deal with Oracle products
