In addition to a database instance, other structures are also created.<\/p>\n
Examples of these are:<\/p>\n
Data Dictionary:<\/strong> Stores information regarding database objects.<\/p>\n Dynamic Performance Tables:<\/strong> Used to monitor a database and instance information in order to increase its performance.<\/p>\n PL\/SQL Packages:<\/strong> Scripts used to add a variety of functions to a database. The catproc.spl is what’s used to run all required scripts after creating a database.<\/p>\n Database Event Triggers:<\/strong> Procedures that can be activated by user or other events such as dbms operations, changes to a table or a view.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A vital component that is central to the Oracle DBMS. An important resource for database users, application developers and database administrators (dba).<\/p>\n Tables and views are created by reading salts and <\/span>are queried using select statements.<\/p>\n Located in the system tablespace, the data dictionary’s owner is the sys user.<\/p>\n Maintained by the Oracle server.<\/p>\n As Data Definition Language (DDL) <\/strong>statements covering create, alter, drop, rename, truncate syntaxes and Data Manipulation Language (DML)<\/strong> statements covering insert, update, delete, merge syntaxes get executed the server updates the data dictionary<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Base Tables:<\/strong><\/p>\n Contain the definitions of the data dictionary. Can be made using the “create database” (after running the oracle server sql.bsq script).<\/p>\n Normally access to a base table would be limited to Oracle Server, users would rarely have direct access to base tables as the data that it contains is encoded in binary format.<\/p>\n Data Dictionary Views:<\/strong><\/p>\n Data Dictionary views are summaries of base tables. They allow base tables to be used more frequently. After entering the “create database” command, the catalog.sql<\/strong><\/em> script is run to create database views.<\/p>\n catalog.sql<\/em>: Creates frequently used Data Dictionary views and Synonyms (an alternative term for schema objects).<\/p>\n catproq.sql<\/em>: Runs the necessary scripts for servers.<\/p>\n The above files are located in $ORACLE_HOME\/rdbms\/admin. (Further information can be found in the manually creating a database article<\/strong>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Information regarding schema objects.<\/p>\n The logical and physical structure of the database.<\/p>\n Uses of the database fields.<\/p>\n All restrictions.<\/p>\n Users.<\/p>\n Roles.<\/p>\n Permissions.<\/p>\n Audit.<\/p>\n Oracle Server’s data dictionary is used for information about privileged users, schema objecta and storage structures. The data dictionary gets updated as DDL (create, alter, drop, rename, truncate) statements are run.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DBA_xxx:<\/strong> All the objects stored in the database.<\/p>\n ALL_xxx:<\/strong> Access authorisation of connected users and objects belonging to them.<\/p>\n USER_xxx:<\/strong> Objects belonging to a connected user.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Example<\/strong><\/p>\n When connected under the sys account, 50400 objects get retrieved. [\/crayon] Schema Objects:<\/strong> dba_tables; DBA_indexes, dba_tab_columns, dba_constraints<\/p>\n Space Allocation:<\/strong> dba_segments, dba_extents<\/p>\n Database Structure:<\/strong> dba_tablespaces, dba_datafiles,<\/p>\n [crayon]select * from all_catalog where owner=mehmet;<\/p>\n [\/crayon]<\/p>\n dict – an abbreviation of dictionary. Contains the names and descriptions of all the tables in the data dictionary. [\/crayon]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n To display Oracle server’s version<\/strong> [\/crayon]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oracle Server writes all activities to virtual tables which are called Dynamic Performance Views.<\/p>\n This information can be stored using Oracle 10G’s Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) feature. Dynamic Performance Views are especially useful for making comparisons.<\/p>\n Updated information regarding Principal Data Dictionary Views and Dynamic Performance Views listed below can be found on http:\/\/tahiti.oracle.com\/ -> Oracle Database Documentation, 10g Release 2 (10.2).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS : Date\/Time formats, Language and other settings.<\/p>\n GLOBAL_NAME : The database’s global name<\/p>\n ALL_CATALOG : The tables that a user can access (even if they don’t own them).
