  1. Oracle Architecture Overview

  2. Objectives • Learn about Oracle architecture and key Oracle software components • Look at the ORACLASS database • Discover differences between Oracle client and server installation options • Examine why to use OFA (Optimal Flexible Architecture)

  3. OracleArchitecture: Key Components The core Oracle RDBMS software includes a suite of over 200 components. Key components are: • Oracle database & Oracle Net • Java/Web components • Oracle Enterprise Manager & Mgt. Packs • SQL*Plus • Utilities, Precompilers, and add-ons

  4. Oracle database & Oracle Net • Oracle database • contains a number of preset features that speed up its use. • Includes PL/SQL engine • Oracle Net • Provides the network link between the Oracle database and most applications that communicate with the database • Is a gateway into the database

  5. Java/Web components • Provides a way to access the Oracledatabase via Java ports • Tools installed with Oracle database • Apache web server • Precomplier for SQLJ Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  6. Oracle Enterprise Manager & Mgt. Packs • Oracle Enterprise Manager • Windows-like database administrator tool in a single interface • Management packages • Sets of related tools aded to Enterprise Manager console

  7. SQL*Plus • Allows users to run SQL satements

  8. Utilities, Precompilers, and add-ons • Backup, migration, recovery, and transporting data • Precompilors (Pro*C)

  9. OracleArchitecture: Running the Database The Oracle database server has 3 parts: • Database (the files): a collection of files such as data files, control files, and redo log files • Database Software: database executable files such as Oracle Net, Enterprise manager, and the RDBMS components • Instance: background processes and memory • Handles user interaction with databases • Manages memory, integrity, and I/O for db files

  10. OracleArchitecture: A Typical Server Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  11. Oracle9i Architecture: Server Configurations Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  12. Oracle9i Architecture: Optional Additions Some important optional additions are: • Oracle Data Mining: queries on data warehouses • Oracle Advanced Security: industry standard security encryption and password validation • Enterprise Manager packs: additions for tuning, change management, and diagnostics Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  13. Oracle9i Installation Options: N-tier Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  14. Oracle9i Installation Options: Server-side Choose from: • Enterprise Edition: best for many users and high-volume data • Standard Edition: best for small groups of users, smaller volume data • Personal Edition: best for individual use Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  15. Oracle9i Installation Options: Client-side Choose from: • Administrator: provides Enterprise Manager and other tools for remote database administration • Runtime: provides connectivity from local applications to a remote database Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  16. Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) Set of standards for directory structure and file names. Advantages include: • Spreading I/O across devices to reduce bottlenecks • Separating products into distinct directories and/or devices to improve performance • Providing standard names for file types to speed up administrative tasks Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  17. OFA: Directory Structure Standards ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME define the root directory structures Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  18. OFA: File Naming Standards Patterns for naming files are: • Control files: controlNN.ctl (example: control01.ctl) • Redo log files: redoNN.log (example: redo03.log) • Data files: XXXXNN.dbf (example: SYSTEM01.dbf) • NN = sequential numbers starting with 01. • XXXX = name of the tablespace Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  19. Chapter Summary • Oracle RDBMS software contains many basic components and even more optional add-ons • The database server contains the software, the database files, and the instance (made up of memory allocation and background processes) • Oracle Enterprise Edition is the most robust of the three installation options for the server Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration

  20. Chapter Summary • Multi-tier architecture provides greater flexibility and independence of software components • Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) defines standards for directory structure and file names Oracle9i Database Administrator: Implementation and Administration
