ORACLE INTRODUCTION
Oracle Corporation ( Nasdaq : ORCL ) is the world's leading supplier of software for information management, and the world's second largest independent software company.
Oracle is the only company capable of implementing complete global e-business solutions that extend from front office customer relationship management to back office operational applications to platform infrastructure.

 Oracle software runs on PCs, workstations, minicomputers, mainframes, as well as on personal digital assistants and set-top devices. As more and more companies transform themselves into e-businesses, Oracle's Internetenabled solutions provide a cost-effective way to expand market opportunities, improve business process efficiencies, and attract and retain customers. It is the only software company to offer a full suite of e-business products.

workings
Oracle employs more than 41,000 people in more than 150 countries around the world. Headquartered in Redwood

Shores,

California.
Oracle proves to be effective and efficient.

verticals
Oracle provides vertical solns with a full-line of products aimed at unique requirements of major industries. These include automotives, aviation, aerospace and defense, communication, education, financial services, public sectors and utilities, etc.

Taken over
Oracle has majorly taken over s/w companies like Baan, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, SSA (System S/W Associates), QAD.

SAP has managed to escape and till date it proves to be competitively strong for Oracle.

The beginnings.
When CEO Lawrence J. Ellison and a few associates formed Oracle in 1977, they were out to prove wrong the prevailing theory that relationship databases could not be commercially viable.

Larry Ellison, Bob Miner and Ed Oates found Software Development Laboratories.

 Inspired by a research paper written in 1970 by an IBM researcher titled " A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks", the three decide to build a new type of database called a relational database system.
Their original project is for the government and is titled Oracle. The founders believe that Oracle, meaning source of wisdom, would be an appropriate name for their project and receive permission from the CIA to use it.

PRODUCT & TECH NOLOGY

Client/Server Architecture
This part defines distributed processing and how the Oracle Server and database applications work in a distributed processing environment.

This material applies to almost every type of Oracle

database system environment. This part includes: 1. The oracle client/server architecture 2. SQL *Net

1. The Oracle Client/Server Architecture

In the Oracle client/server architecture, the database application and the database are separated into two parts: a front-end or client portion, and a back-end or server portion. The client executes the database application that accesses database information and interacts with a user through the keyboard, screen, and pointing device such as a mouse.
The server executes the Oracle software and handles the functions required for concurrent,

shared data access to an Oracle database.

 Although the client application and Oracle can be executed on the same computer, it may be more efficient and effective when the client portion(s) and server portion(s) are executed by different computers connected via a network.

Client server architecture

Db server

n/w
Client 1 Client 2

The client and server are located on different computers; these computers are connected via a network.

Distributed Processing

Client 1

Client 2

A single computer has more than one processor, and different processors separate the execution of the client application from Oracle

Benefits of the Oracle client/server architecture in a distributed processing environment include Client applications are not responsible for performing any data processing. Client applications can concentrate on requesting input from users, requesting desired data from the server, and then analyzing and presenting this data using the display capabilities of the client workstation(using graphics or spreadsheets). Oracle exploits multitasking and shared-memory facilities by O.S., thus delivers highest degree of concurrency, data integrity, and performance to its client applications.

Client workstations or terminals can be optimized for the presentation of data (by providing graphics and mouse support) and the server can be optimized for the processing and storage of data (by having large amounts of memory and disk space). If necessary, Oracle can be scaled. It can be horizontally scaled by adding multiple servers and can be vertically scaled if needed to replace it on less powerful pcs. In either case, all data and applications are maintained with little or no modification, since Oracle is portable between systems.

In networked environments, shared data is stored on the servers, rather than on all computers in the system. This makes it easier and more efficient to manage concurrent access. In networked environments, inexpensive, low-end client workstations can be used to access the remote data of the server effectively. In networked environments, client applications submit database requests to the server using SQL statements. Once received, the SQL statement is processed by the server, and the results are returned to the client application. The n/w traffic is kept minimum as only requests and results are shipped over the n/w.

2. SQL*Net
SQL*Net is the Oracle network interface that allows Oracle

tools running on network workstations and servers to access, modify, share, and store data on other servers.
SQL*Net is considered part of the program interface in

network communications.
Communication protocols define the way that data is

transmitted and received on a network. In a networked environment, an Oracle server communicates with client workstations.

SQL*Net uses the communication protocols or application programmatic interfaces (APIs) supported by a wide range of networks to provide a distributed database and distributed processing for Oracle. A communications protocol is a set of standards. An API is a set of subroutines.

How SQL*Net Works ???

SQL*Net drivers provide an interface between the Oracle

processes running on database server and user processes of Oracle tools running on other computers of the network.
SQL*Net drivers take SQL statements from the interface of

Oracle tools and package them for transmission to Oracle via one of the supported industry-standard higher level protocols or programmatic interfaces.
Drivers take replies from Oracle and package them for

transmission to the tools via the same higher level communications mechanism.
