EXP I. INTRODUCTION
Oracle has many tools such as SQL * PLUS, Oracle Forms, Oracle Report Writer, Oracle Graphics etc.
 SQL * PLUS: The SQL * PLUS tool is made up of two distinct parts. These
are
 Interactive SQL: Interactive SQL is designed for create, access
and manipulate data structures like tables and indexes.
 PL/SQL: PL/SQL can be used to developed programs for different
applications.
 Oracle Forms: This tool allows you to create a data entry screen along
with the suitable menu objects. Thus it is the oracle forms tool that
handles data gathering and data validation in a commercial application.
 Report Writer: Report writer allows programmers to prepare innovative
reports using data from the oracle structures like tables, views etc. It is
the report writer tool that handles the reporting section of commercial
application.
 Oracle Graphics: Some of the data can be better represented in the
form of pictures. The oracle graphics tool allows programmers to prepare
graphs using data from oracle structures like tables, views etc.
SQL (Structured Query Language):
Structured Query Language is a database computer language designed for
managing data in relational database management systems(RDBMS), and
originally based upon Relational Algebra. Its scope includes data query and
update, schema creation and modification, and data access control. SQL was
one of the first languages for Edgar F. Codd's relational model in his influential
1970 paper, "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks"[3] and
became the most widely used language for relational databases.
 IBM developed SQL in mid of 1970’s.
 Oracle incorporated in the year 1979.
 SQL used by IBM/DB2 and DS Database Systems.
 SQL adopted as standard language for RDBS by ASNI in 1989.

DATA TYPES:
CHAR (Size): This data type is used to store character strings values of fixed
length. The size in brackets determines the number of characters the cell can
hold. The maximum number of character is 255 characters.
1. VARCHAR (Size) / VERCHAR2 (Size): This data type is used to store
variable length alphanumeric data. The maximum character can hold is
2000 character.
2. NUMBER (P, S): The NUMBER data type is used to store number (fixed or
floating point). Number of virtually any magnitude may be stored up to 38
digits of precision. Number as large as 9.99 * 10 124. The precision (p)

determines the number of places to the right of the decimal. If scale is
omitted then the default is zero. If precision is omitted, values are stored
with their original precision up to the maximum of 38 digits.
3. DATE: This data type is used to represent date and time. The standard
format is DD-MM-YY as in 17-SEP-2009. To enter dates other than the
standard format, use the appropriate functions. Date time stores date in
the 24-Hours format. By default the time in a date field is 12:00:00 am, if
no time portion is specified. The default date for a date field is the first day
the current month.
4. LONG: This data type is used to store variable length character strings
containing up to 2GB. Long data can be used to store arrays of binary data
in ASCII format. LONG values cannot be indexed, and the normal character
functions such as SUBSTR cannot be applied.
5. RAW: The RAW data type is used to store binary data, such as digitized
picture or image. Data loaded into columns of these data types are stored
without any further conversion. RAW data type can have a maximum
length of 255 bytes. LONG RAW data type can contain up to 2GB.
interactive SQL:
Syntax : VERB(Parameter_1,Parameter_2,Parameter_3,........Parameter_n);
SQL language is sub-divided into several language elements, including:
 Clauses, which are in some cases optional, constituent components of statements and queries.
 Expressions, which can produce either scalar values or tables consisting of columns and rows of data.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
 Predicates which specify conditions that can be evaluated to SQL three-valued logic (3VL) Boolean
truth values and which are used to limit the effects of statements and queries, or to change program
flow.
 Queries which retrieve data based on specific criteria.
 Statements which may have a persistent effect on schemas and data, or which may control
transactions, program flow, connections, sessions, or diagnostics.
 SQL statements also include the semicolon (";") statement terminator. Though not required on every
platform, it is defined as a standard part of the SQL grammar.
 Insignificant white space is generally ignored in SQL statements and queries, making it easier to
format SQL code for readability.
There are five types of SQL statements. They are:
1. DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE (DDL)
2. DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE (DML)
3. DATA RETRIEVAL LANGUAGE (DRL)
4. TRANSATIONAL CONTROL LANGUAGE (TCL)
5. DATA CONTROL LANGUAGE (DCL)
1. DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE (DDL): The Data Definition Language (DDL) is used to
create and destroy databases and database objects. These commands will primarily be used by database
administrators during the setup and removal phases of a database project. Let's take a look at the structure
and usage of four basic DDL commands:
1. CREATE 2. ALTER 3. DROP 4. RENAME
1. CREATE:
(a)CREATE TABLE: This is used to create a new relation and the
corresponding
Syntax: CREATE TABLE relation_name
(field_1 data_type(Size),field_2 data_type(Size), .. . );
Example:
SQL>CREATE TABLE Student (sno NUMBER(3),sname CHAR(10),class
CHAR(5));
(b)CREATE TABLE..AS SELECT....: This is used to create the structure of a
new relation from the structure of an existing relation.
Syntax: CREATE TABLE (relation_name_1, field_1,field_2,.....field_n) AS
SELECT field_1,field_2,...........field_n FROM relation_name_2;

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Example: SQL>CREATE TABLE std(rno,sname) AS SELECT sno,sname FROM

student;
2. ALTER:
(a)ALTER TABLE ...ADD...: This is used to add some extra fields into existing
relation.
Syntax: ALTER TABLE relation_name ADD(new field_1 data_type(size), new
field_2 data_type(size),..);
Example : SQL>ALTER TABLE std ADD(Address CHAR(10));
(b)ALTER TABLE...MODIFY...: This is used to change the width as well as

data type of fields of existing relations.
Syntax: ALTER TABLE relation_name MODIFY (field_1 newdata_type(Size),
field_2 newdata_type(Size),....field_newdata_type(Size));
Example:SQL>ALTER TABLE student MODIFY(sname VARCHAR(10),class
VARCHAR(5));
3. DROP TABLE: This is used to delete the structure of a relation. It
permanently deletes the records in the table.
Syntax: DROP TABLE relation_name;
Example: SQL>DROP TABLE std;
4. RENAME: It is used to modify the name of the existing database object.

Syntax: RENAME TABLE old_relation_name TO new_relation_name;
Example: SQL>RENAME TABLE std TO std1;
5. TRUNCATE: This command will remove the data permanently. But structure
will not be removed.
Syntax: TRUNCATE TABLE <Table name>
Example TRUNCATE TABLE student;
Difference between Truncate & Delete: -

 By using truncate command data will be removed permanently & will not
get back where as by using delete command data will be removed
temporally & get back by using roll back command.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
 By using delete command data will be removed based on the condition

where as by using truncate command there is no condition.
 Truncate is a DDL command & delete is a DML command.
2. DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE (DML): The Data Manipulation Language (DML) is

used to retrieve, insert and modify database information. These commands will be used by all database
users during the routine operation of the database. Let's take a brief look at the basic DML commands:
1. INSERT 2. UPDATE 3. DELETE
1. INSERT INTO: This is used to add records into a relation. These are three
type of INSERT INTO queries which are as
a) Inserting a single record
Syntax: INSERT INTO relationname(field_1,field_2,.field_n)VALUES
(data_1,data_2,........data_n);
Example: SQL>INSERT INTO student(sno,sname,class,address)VALUES
(1,’Ravi’,’M.Tech’,’Palakol’);
b) Inserting all records from another relation
Syntax: INSERT INTO relation_name_1 SELECT Field_1,field_2,field_n
FROM relation_name_2 WHERE field_x=data;
Example: SQL>INSERT INTO std SELECT sno,sname FROM student
WHERE name = ‘Ramu‘;
c) Inserting multiple records
Syntax: INSERT INTO relation_name field_1,field_2,.....field_n) VALUES
(&data_1,&data_2,........&data_n);
Example: SQL>INSERT INTO student(sno,sname,class,address)
VALUES(&sno,’&sname’,’&class’,’&address’);
Enter value for sno: 101
Enter value for name: Ravi
Enter value for class: M.Tech
Enter value for name: Palakol
2. UPDATE-SET-WHERE: This is used to update the content of a record in a
relation.
Syntax: SQL>UPDATE relation name SET
Field_name1=data,field_name2=data,

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
WHERE field_name=data;
Example: SQL>UPDATE student SET sname = ‘kumar’ WHERE sno=1;
3. DELETE-FROM: This is used to delete all the records of a relation but it will
retain the structure of that relation.
a) DELETE-FROM: This is used to delete all the records of relation.
Syntax: SQL>DELETE FROM relation_name;
Example: SQL>DELETE FROM std;
b) DELETE -FROM-WHERE: This is used to delete a selected record from a
relation.
Syntax: SQL>DELETE FROM relation_name WHERE condition;
Example: SQL>DELETE FROM student WHERE sno = 2;
3. DRL(DATA RETRIEVAL LANGUAGE): Retrieves data from one or more tables.
1. SELECT FROM: To display all fields for all records.
Syntax : SELECT * FROM relation_name;
Example : SQL> select * from dept;
DEPTNO DNAME LOC

set of fields from two relations by matching a common field in them in an
ordered manner based on some fields.
Syntax: SELECT a set of fields from both relations FROM relation_1,
relation_2 WHERE relation_1.field_x = relation_2.field_y ORDER BY field_z;

lOMoARcPSD|18949579

FROM relation_2 WHERE(Conditon);

SQL> SELECT * FROM student MINUS SELECT * FROM std;
SNO SNAME
---- -------
2 RAVI
3 RAMU
3. TRANSATIONAL CONTROL LANGUAGE (T.C.L):
A transaction is a logical unit of work. All changes made to the database
can be referred to as a transaction. Transaction changes can be mode
permanent to the database only if they are committed a transaction begins
with an executable SQL statement & ends explicitly with either role back or
commit statement.
1. COMMIT: This command is used to end a transaction only with the help of
the commit command transaction changes can be made permanent to the
database.
Syntax: SQL>COMMIT;
Example: SQL>COMMIT;
2. SAVE POINT: Save points are like marks to divide a very lengthy
transaction to smaller once. They are used to identify a point in a transaction to
which we can latter role back. Thus, save point is used in conjunction with role
back.
Syntax: SQL>SAVE POINT ID;

Example: SQL>SAVE POINT xyz;
3. ROLE BACK: A role back command is used to undo the current transactions.
We can role back the entire transaction so that all changes made by SQL
statements are undo (or) role back a transaction to a save point so that the
SQL statements after the save point are role back.
Syntax: ROLE BACK( current transaction can be role back)
ROLE BACK to save point ID;

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Example: SQL>ROLE BACK;

SQL>ROLE BACK TO SAVE POINT xyz;
4. DATA CONTROL LANGUAGE (D.C.L):
DCL provides uses with privilege commands the owner of database
objects (tables), has the soul authority ollas them. The owner (data base
administrators) can allow other data base uses to access the objects as per
their requirement
1. GRANT: The GRANT command allows granting various privileges to other
users and allowing them to perform operations with in their privileges
For Example, if a uses is granted as ‘SELECT’ privilege then he/she can only
view data but cannot perform any other DML operations on the data base
object GRANTED privileges can also be withdrawn by the DBA at any time
Syntax: SQL>GRANT PRIVILEGES on object_name To user_name;
Example: SQL>GRANT SELECT, UPDATE on emp To hemanth;
2. REVOKE: To with draw the privileges that has been GRANTED to a uses, we
use the REVOKE command
Syntax: SQL>REVOKE PRIVILEGES ON object-name FROM user_name;

Example: SQL>REVOKE SELECT, UPDATE ON emp FROM ravi;
1. Creation, altering and dropping of tables and inserting rows into a
table (use constraints while creating tables) examples using SELECT
command.
1. CREATE:
(a)CREATE TABLE: This is used to create a new relation
Example:
SQL>CREATE TABLE Student (sno NUMBER(3) PRIMARY KEY ,sname
CHAR(10),class CHAR(5));
2. ALTER:
relation.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579

Example: SQL>ALTER TABLE student MODIFY(sname VARCHAR(10),class
VARCHAR(5));
4. INSERT:
Syntax: INSERT INTO relation_name field_1,field_2,.....field_n) VALUES
(&data_1,&data_2,........&data_n);
Example: SQL>INSERT INTO student(sno,sname,class,address)
VALUES(&sno,’&sname’,’&class’,’&address’);
Enter value for sno: 101
Enter value for name: SIRISHA
Enter value for class: CSE
Enter value for address: Palakol
5. SELECT FROM: To display all fields for all records.

Syntax : SELECT * FROM relation_name;
Example : SQL> select * from student;
SNO SNAME CLASS ADDRESS
---- -------- ------ ----- 101 SIRISHA CSE
PALAKOL
102 DEVAKI CSE NARSAPUR
103 KUMAR CAD BHIMAVARAM
104 RAVI VLSI PALAKOL
2. SELECT FROM: To display a set of fields for all records of relation.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Syntax: SELECT a set of fields FROM relation_name;

Example: SQL> select sno, sname from student;
SNO SNAME
---- --------
101 SIRISHA
102 DEVAKI
103 KUMAR
104 RAVI
3. SELECT - FROM -WHERE: This query is used to display a selected set of
fields for a selected set of records of a relation.
Syntax: SELECT a set of fields FROM relation_name WHERE condition;
Example: SQL> select * FROM student WHERE class=’CSE’;
SNO SNAME CLASS ADDRESS
---- -------- ------ -------
101 SIRISHA CSE PALAKOL
102 DEVAKI CSE NARSAPUR
There are 5 constraints available in ORACLE:
1. NOT NULL: When a column is defined as NOTNULL, then that column
becomes a mandatory column. It implies that a value must be entered into the
column if the record is to be accepted for storage in the table.
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE Table_Name(column_name data_type(size) NOT NULL, );
Example:
CREATE TABLE student (sno NUMBER(3)NOT NULL, name CHAR(10));
2. UNIQUE: The purpose of a unique key is to ensure that information in the
column(s) is unique i.e. a value entered in column(s) defined in the unique
constraint must not be repeated across the column(s). A table may have many
unique keys.
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE Table_Name(column_name data_type(size) UNIQUE, ….);
Example:
CREATE TABLE student (sno NUMBER(3) UNIQUE, name CHAR(10));

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
3. CHECK: Specifies a condition that each row in the table must satisfy. To
satisfy the constraint, each row in the table must make the condition either
TRUE or unknown (due to a null).
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE Table_Name(column_name data_type(size) CHECK(logical
expression), ….);
Example: CREATE TABLE student (sno NUMBER (3), name CHAR(10),class
CHAR(5),CHECK(class IN(‘CSE’,’CAD’,’VLSI’));
4. PRIMARY KEY: A field which is used to identify a record uniquely. A column
or combination of columns can be created as primary key, which can be used
as a reference from other tables. A table contains primary key is known as
Master Table.
 It must uniquely identify each record in a table.
 It must contain unique values.
 It cannot be a null field.
 It cannot be multi port field.
 It should contain a minimum no. of fields necessary to be called unique.
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE Table_Name(column_name data_type(size) PRIMARY KEY,
….);
Example:
CREATE TABLE faculty (fcode NUMBER(3) PRIMARY KEY, fname
CHAR(10));
5. FOREIGN KEY: It is a table level constraint. We cannot add this at column
level. To reference any primary key column from other table this constraint can
be used. The table in which the foreign key is defined is called a detail table.
The table that defines the primary key and is referenced by the foreign key is
called the master table.
Syntax: CREATE TABLE Table_Name(column_name data_type(size)
FOREIGN KEY(column_name) REFERENCES table_name);
Example:
CREATE TABLE subject (scode NUMBER (3) PRIMARY KEY,
subname CHAR(10),fcode NUMBER(3),

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
FOREIGN KEY(fcode) REFERENCE faculty );

Defining integrity constraints in the alter table command:
Syntax: ALTER TABLE Table_Name ADD PRIMARY KEY (column_name);
Example: ALTER TABLE student ADD PRIMARY KEY (sno);
(Or)
Syntax: ALTER TABLE table_name ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name
PRIMARY KEY(colname)
Example: ALTER TABLE student ADD CONSTRAINT SN PRIMARY KEY(SNO)
Dropping integrity constraints in the alter table command:
Syntax: ALTER TABLE Table_Name DROP constraint_name;
Example: ALTER TABLE student DROP PRIMARY KEY;
(or)
Syntax: ALTER TABLE student DROP CONSTRAINT constraint_name;
Example: ALTER TABLE student DROP CONSTRAINT SN;
3) Queries using Aggregate functions (COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX and

MIN), GROUP BY, HAVING and Creation and dropping of Views.
Aggregative operators: In addition to simply retrieving data, we often want

to perform some computation or summarization. SQL allows the use of
arithmetic expressions. We now consider a powerful class of constructs for
computing aggregate values such as MIN and SUM.
1. Count: COUNT following by a column name returns the count of tuple in
that column. If DISTINCT keyword is used then it will return only the count of
unique tuple in the column. Otherwise, it will return count of all the tuples
(including duplicates) count (*) indicates all the tuples of the column.
Syntax: COUNT (Column name)
Example: SELECT COUNT (Sal) FROM emp;
2. SUM: SUM followed by a column name returns the sum of all the values in
that column.
Syntax: SUM (Column name)
Example: SELECT SUM (Sal) From emp;

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
3. AVG: AVG followed by a column name returns the average value of that
column values.
Syntax: AVG (n1,n2..)
Example: Select AVG(10, 15, 30) FROM DUAL;
4. MAX: MAX followed by a column name returns the maximum value of that
column.
Syntax: MAX (Column name)
Example: SELECT MAX (Sal) FROM emp;
SQL> select deptno,max(sal) from emp group by deptno;
DEPTNO MAX(SAL)
------ --------
10 5000
20 3000
30 2850
SQL> select deptno,max(sal) from emp group by deptno having
max(sal)<3000;
DEPTNO MAX(SAL)
----- --------
30 2850
5. MIN: MIN followed by column name returns the minimum value of that
column.
Syntax: MIN (Column name)
Example: SELECT MIN (Sal) FROM emp;
SQL>select deptno,min(sal) from emp group by deptno having min(sal)>1000;
DEPTNO MIN(SAL)
----- --------
10 1300
VIEW: In SQL, a view is a virtual table based on the result-set of an SQL
statement.
A view contains rows and columns, just like a real table. The fields in a
view are fields from one or more real tables in the database.
You can add SQL functions, WHERE, and JOIN statements to a view and
present the data as if the data were coming from one single table.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
A view is a virtual table, which consists of a set of columns from one or

more tables. It is similar to a table but it doest not store in the database. View
is a query stored as an object.
Syntax: CREATE VIEW view_name AS SELECT set of fields FROM
relation_name WHERE (Condition)
1. Example:
SQL>CREATE VIEW employee AS SELECT empno,ename,job FROM EMP
WHERE job = ‘clerk’;
View created.
SQL> SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE;
EMPNO ENAME JOB
---- ------ -------
7369 SMITH CLERK
7876 ADAMS CLERK
7900 JAMES CLERK
7934 MILLER CLERK
2.Example:
CREATE VIEW [Current Product List] AS
SELECT ProductID,ProductName
FROM Products
WHERE Discontinued=No
DROP VIEW: This query is used to delete a view , which has been already
created.
Syntax: DROP VIEW View_name;
Example : SQL> DROP VIEW EMPLOYEE;
View dropped
4. Queries using Conversion functions (to_char, to_number and
to_date), string functions (Concatenation, lpad, rpad, ltrim, rtrim,
lower, upper, initcap, length, substr and instr), date functions
(Sysdate, next_day, add_months, last_day, months_between, least,
greatest, trunc, round, to_char, to_date)

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
1. Conversion functions:
To_char: TO_CHAR (number) converts n to a value of VARCHAR2 data type,
using the optional number format fmt. The value n can be of
type NUMBER, BINARY_FLOAT, or BINARY_DOUBLE.
SQL>select to_char(65,'RN')from dual;
LXV
To_number : TO_NUMBER converts expr to a value of NUMBER data type.
SQL> Select to_number('1234.64') from Dual;
1234.64
To_date: TO_DATE converts char of CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR,
or NVARCHAR2 data type to a value of DATE data type.
SQL>SELECT TO_DATE('January 15, 1989, 11:00 A.M.')FROM DUAL;
TO_DATE('
---------
15-JAN-89
2. String functions:
Concat: CONCAT returns char1 concatenated with char2.
Both char1 and char2 can be any of the datatypes
SQL>SELECT CONCAT(‘ORACLE’,’CORPORATION’)FROM DUAL;
ORACLECORPORATION
Lpad: LPAD returns expr1, left-padded to length n characters with the
sequence of characters in expr2.
SQL>SELECT LPAD(‘ORACLE’,15,’*’)FROM DUAL;
*********ORACLE
Rpad: RPAD returns expr1, right-padded to length n characters with expr2,
replicated as many times as necessary.

expression, excluding trailing blanks.
SQL>SELECT LENGTH(‘DATABASE’)FROM DUAL;
8
Substr: Returns part of a character, binary, text, or image expression.
SQL>SELECT SUBSTR(‘ABCDEFGHIJ’3,4)FROM DUAL;
CDEF
Instr: The INSTR functions search string for substring. The function returns an
integer indicating the position of the character in string that is the first
character of this occurrence.

EXP-VI DDL & TCL Commands
DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE (DDL): The Data Definition Language (DDL) is used to create
and destroy databases and database objects. These commands will primarily be used by database
administrators during the setup and removal phases of a database project. Let's take a look at the structure
and usage of four basic DDL commands:
1. CREATE 2. ALTER 3. DROP 4. RENAME
1. CREATE:
(a)CREATE TABLE: This is used to create a new relation and the
corresponding
Example:
SQL>CREATE TABLE Student (sno NUMBER(3),sname CHAR(10),class
CHAR(5));
(b)CREATE TABLE..AS SELECT....: This is used to create the structure of a

new relation from the structure of an existing relation.
Syntax: CREATE TABLE (relation_name_1, field_1,field_2,.....field_n) AS
SELECT field_1,field_2,...........field_n FROM relation_name_2;

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Example: SQL>CREATE TABLE std(rno,sname) AS SELECT sno,sname FROM

student;
2. ALTER:
relation.

Example:SQL>ALTER TABLE student MODIFY(sname VARCHAR(10),class
VARCHAR(5));
4. RENAME: It is used to modify the name of the existing database object.

Syntax: RENAME TABLE old_relation_name TO new_relation_name;
Example: SQL>RENAME TABLE std TO std1;
5. TRUNCATE: This command will remove the data permanently. But structure
will not be removed.
Syntax: TRUNCATE TABLE <Table name>
Example TRUNCATE TABLE student;
Difference between Truncate & Delete: -

(A) By using truncate command data will be removed permanently & will not
get back where as by using delete command data will be removed temporally
& get back by using roll back command.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
(B) By using delete command data will be removed based on the condition
where as by using truncate command there is no condition.
(C) Truncate is a DDL command & delete is a DML command.
TRANSATIONAL CONTROL LANGUAGE (T.C.L):

A transaction is a logical unit of work. All changes made to the database
can be referred to as a transaction. Transaction changes can be mode
permanent to the database only if they are committed a transaction begins
with an executable SQL statement & ends explicitly with either role back or
commit statement.
1. COMMIT: This command is used to end a transaction only with the help of
the commit command transaction changes can be made permanent to the
database.
Syntax: SQL>COMMIT;
Example: SQL>COMMIT;
2. SAVE POINT: Save points are like marks to divide a very lengthy
transaction to smaller once. They are used to identify a point in a transaction to
which we can latter role back. Thus, save point is used in conjunction with role
back.
Syntax: SQL>SAVE POINT ID;

Example: SQL>SAVE POINT xyz;
3. ROLE BACK: A role back command is used to undo the current transactions.
We can role back the entire transaction so that all changes made by SQL
statements are undo (or) role back a transaction to a save point so that the
SQL statements after the save point are role back.
Syntax: ROLE BACK( current transaction can be role back)

ROLE BACK to save point ID;

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Example: SQL>ROLE BACK;

SQL>ROLE BACK TO SAVE POINT xyz;
GRAND & REVOKE(DCL)
GRANT: The GRANT command allows granting various privileges to other users
and allowing them to perform operations with in their privileges
For Example, if a uses is granted as ‘SELECT’ privilege then he/she can only
view data but cannot perform any other DML operations on the data base
object GRANTED privileges can also be withdrawn by the DBA at any time
Syntax: SQL>GRANT PRIVILEGES on object_name To user_name;

Example: SQL>GRANT SELECT, UPDATE on emp To hemanth;
2. REVOKE: To with draw the privileges that has been GRANTED to a uses, we
use the REVOKE command
Syntax: SQL>REVOKE PRIVILEGES ON object-name FROM user_name;

Example: SQL>REVOKE SELECT, UPDATE ON emp FROM ravi;
VIEW: In SQL, a view is a virtual table based on the result-set of an SQL

statement.
A view contains rows and columns, just like a real table. The fields in a
view are fields from one or more real tables in the database.
You can add SQL functions, WHERE, and JOIN statements to a view and
present the data as if the data were coming from one single table.
A view is a virtual table, which consists of a set of columns from one or
more tables. It is similar to a table but it doest not store in the database. View
is a query stored as an object.
Syntax: CREATE VIEW view_name AS SELECT set of fields FROM
relation_name WHERE (Condition)
1. Example:
SQL>CREATE VIEW employee AS SELECT empno,ename,job FROM EMP
WHERE job = ‘clerk’;

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
View created.
SQL> SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE;
EMPNO ENAME JOB
---- ------ -------
7369 SMITH CLERK
7876 ADAMS CLERK
7900 JAMES CLERK
7934 MILLER CLERK
2.Example:
CREATE VIEW [Current Product List] AS
SELECT ProductID,ProductName
FROM Products
WHERE Discontinued=No
DROP VIEW: This query is used to delete a view , which has been already
created.
Syntax: DROP VIEW View_name;
Example : SQL> DROP VIEW EMPLOYEE;
View dropped
EXP-VII PL/SQL INTRODUCTION
PL/SQL stands for Procedural Language extension of SQL. PL/SQL is a combination of SQL
along with the procedural features of programming languages. It was developed by Oracle Corporation in the
early 90’s to enhance the capabilities of SQL.
Oracle uses a PL/SQL engine to processes the PL/SQL statements. A PL/SQL code can be stored in
the client system (client-side) or in the database (server-side).
Advantages of PL/SQL:

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
 Block Structures: PL SQL consists of blocks of code, which can be nested within each other. Each
block forms a unit of a task or a logical module. PL/SQL Blocks can be stored in the database and
reused.
 Procedural Language Capability: PL SQL consists of procedural language constructs such as
conditional statements (if else statements) and loops like (FOR loops).
 Better Performance: PL SQL engine processes multiple SQL statements simultaneously as a single
block, thereby reducing network traffic.
 Error Handling: PL/SQL handles errors or exceptions effectively during the execution of a PL/SQL
program. Once an exception is caught, specific actions can be taken depending upon the type of the
exception or it can be displayed to the user with a message.
Syntax of PL/SQL program:
Declare
Variable declaration;
Begin
Executable statements;
end;
Conditional Statements in PL/SQL
As the name implies, PL/SQL supports programming language features like conditional statements,
iterative statements.
The programming constructs are similar to how you use in programming languages like Java and C+
+. In this section I will provide you syntax of how to use conditional statements in PL/SQL programming.
IF THEN ELSE STATEMENT:
1) IF condition THEN
Statement 1;
ELSE
Statement 2;
END IF;
2) IF condition 1 THEN
Statement 1;
Statement 2;
ELSIF condtion2 THEN
Statement 3;
ELSE
Statement 4;
END IF
Loops in PL/SQL
There are three types of loops in PL/SQL:
1. Simple Loop
2. While Loop

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
3. For Loop
1. Simple Loop: A Simple Loop is used when a set of statements is to be executed at least once before the
loop terminates. An EXIT condition must be specified in the loop, otherwise the loop will get into an infinite
number of iterations. When the EXIT condition is satisfied the process exits from the loop.
Syntax: LOOP
Statements;
EXIT;
{or EXIT WHEN condition ;}
END LOOP;
2. While Loop: A WHILE LOOP is used when a set of statements has to be executed as long as a condition is
true. The condition is evaluated at the beginning of each iteration. The iteration continues until the
condition becomes false.
Syntax: WHILE <condition>
LOOP statements;
END LOOP;
3. FOR Loop: A FOR LOOP is used to execute a set of statements for a predetermined number of times.
Iteration occurs between the start and end integer values given. The counter is always incremented by 1.
The loop exits when the counter reaches the value of the end integer.
Syntax:
FOR counter IN val1..val2
LOOP statements;
END LOOP;

4. What are responsibilities of a DBA?
Ans.
1. Installing and upgrading the Oracle Server and application tools
2. Allocating system storage and planning future storage requirements for the
database system
3. Creating primary database storage structures (tablespaces) after application

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
developers have designed an application
4. Creating primary objects (tables, views, indexes) once application developers have
designed an application
5. Modifying the database structure, as necessary, from information given by
application developers
6. Enrolling users and maintaining system security
7. Controlling and monitoring user access to the database
8. Monitoring and optimizing the performance of the database
9. Planning for backup and recovery of database information
10.Maintaining archived data on tape
11.Backing up and restoring the database
5. What is SGA?
Ans.System Global Area or Shared Global Area is a group of shared memory structures
that contain data and control information for one instance. If multiple users are
concurrently connected to the same instance, the data in the instance's SGA is
"shared" among the users.
6. What is instance?
Ans.The combination of the SGA and the Oracle processes (Background Process) is
called an Oracle database instance. Instance will start in NOMOUNT stage.
7. What is DB buffer cache?
Ans.The database buffer cache is a portion of the SGA that holds copies of the data blocks
read from data files. It will maintain two list Least-Recently-Used list (LRU) and
Most-Recently-Used list (MRU).
8. What is Redo log buffer?
Ans.The redo log buffer is a circular buffer in the SGA that holds information about
changes made to the database. This information is stored in redo entries.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
9. What is shared pool area?
Ans.The shared pool is an area in the SGA that contains three major areas: library cache,
dictionary cache, and control structures.
10. What are parameters will affect the SGA?
Ans.DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS, DB_BLOCK_SIZE, SHARED_POOL_SIZE, and
LOG_BUFFERS
11. What will be there in Private SQL area?
Ans.A private SQL area is a memory area that contains data such as bind information and
runtime buffers. A private SQL area has a persistent area and a runtime area.
12. What is data dictionary?
Ans.The data dictionary is a collection of database tables and views containing reference
information about the database, its structures, and its users. It will maintain the
following information
a). Names of all tables and views in the database
b) Names and data types of columns in database tables
c) Privileges of all Oracle users
13. What is time out?
Ans.User has waited too long for a resource.
14. What are DBWR, LGWR, PMON, SMON, RECO, CKPT, Dnnn and ARCH?
Ans.DBWR - Database Writer process or Dirty Buffer Writer (DBWR) writes DB
buffers to datafiles
LGWR - Log Writer process (LGWR) writes the redo log buffer to a redo log file
on disk
PMON – Process Monitor (PMON) performs process recovery when a user process
fails. PMON is responsible for cleaning up the cache and freeing resources (Lock)
SMON - System Monitor process (SMON) performs instance recovery at instance

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
start up. SMON is also responsible for cleaning up temporary segments; it also
coalesces contiguous free extents to make larger blocks. In a Parallel Server
environment, SMON performs instance recovery for a failed CPU or instance.
RECO - Recoverer process (RECO) is a process used with the distributed option that
Automatically resolves failures involving distributed transactions and resolves indoubt
transactions also.
CKPT - When a checkpoint occurs, Oracle must update the header of all data files to
highest SCN to indicate the checkpoint.
Dnnn - Dispatcher processes allow user processes to share a limited number of server
processes.
ARCH - Archiver process (ARCH) copies online redo log files to a designated storage
device once they become full. ARCH is present only when the redo log is used in
ARCHIVELOG mode and automatic archiving is enabled.
15. What is checkpoint?
Ans.When a checkpoint occurs, Oracle must update the headers of all datafiles to indicate
the checkpoint. If you are not enabled CKPT using CHECKPOINT_PROCESS, this
job is performed by LGWR, in oracle 8 CKPT by default enabled.
16. Is checkpoint optional? Then which one will take care of ckpt is not present?
Ans.Yes. Checkpoint is optional. If you are not enabled CKPT using
CHECKPOINT_PROCESS=TRUE, this job is performed by LGWR
17. Which background process you can have more than in an instance?
Ans.Dnnn. You can create multiple dispatcher processes for a single database instance.
18. When the data buffer will be flushed into respective files?
Ans.1. When ever dirty list gets filled.
2. When ever checkpoint is taking place.
19. What is parameter file?

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Ans.The parameter file is a text file that contains a list of parameters and a value for each
parameter. This file will read in the NOMOUNT stage. The default parameter file
name is INITORCL.ORA (ORCL is SID).
20. Which parameter can’t be changed after the init file has been set?
Ans.DB_BLOCK_SIZE. If you want change the block size you have to recreate the
database.
21. Explain the steps involved in creating new database?
Ans.a) Create the parameter file say INITTEST.ORA made the needful changes
b) Set SID say oracle_sid = TEST
c) Create a password file using ORAPWD utility.
d) Go to SVRMGR tool startup the database in NOMOUNT stage
e) Execute the script CREATE DATABASE… which already prepared by DBA.
f) After created the database, run two scripts CATALOG.SQL and CATPROC.sql to
create data dictionary views and PL/sql packages.
22. What is the physical layout of the database?
Ans.One or More Data files, Two or more Log files and one or more Control files.
23. What is the logical layout of the database?
Ans.Tablespaces (Collection of Segments called Tablespace.)
Segments (Collection of may or may not contiguous Extents called
Segments.)
Extents (Collection of contiguous Blocks called Extents.)
Blocks (Collection of one or more row pieces called Blocks.)
24. What is content of control file?
Ans.Datafile and logfile information (v$datafile & v$log)
Database and Instance information (v$instance & v$database)
Checkpoint information

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Loghistory, Tablespace and Archive information.(V$log_history, dba_tablespaces &
v$archive)
25. What is PGA?
Ans.Program Global Area (PGA) is a memory buffer that contains data and control
information for a server process. A PGA is created by Oracle when a server process is
started.
26. What is tablespace and how to create it?
Ans. A database is divided into one or more logical storage units called tablespaces.
A database administrator can create new tablespaces, add and remove datafiles from
tablespaces, set and alter default segment storage settings for segments created in a
tablespace, make a tablespace read-only or writeable, make a tablespace temporary or
permanent, and drop tablespaces.
Syntax to create tablespce:
SVRMGR> CREATE TABLESPACE <TS.NAME> DATAFILE ‘DATA FILE
NAME WITH PATH’ SIZE 100M;(size can be in terms of kb,mb,gb and etc).
27. What are the different types of segments?
Ans.a) Data segments (tables and cluster)
b) Index segments(Index)
c) Rollback segments
d) Temporary segments
e) Bootstrap segments.
28. How to create rollback segment?
Ans.SVRMGR>CREATE ROLLBACK SEGMENT <RBS NAME> TABLESPACE <TS
NAME> STORAGE
(INITIAL 2
MINEXTENTS 121
MAXEXTENTS 10240

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
NEXT 10240
PCT_INCREASE 0);
29. What is OPTIMAL parameter and SHRINK?
Ans.Shrink:
Using this parameter, you can manually decrease the size of a rollback
segment in Alter statement
Eg.
The following statement shrinks rollback segment RBS1 to 100K:
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT rbs1 SHRINK TO 100K;
Optimal:
Using this parameter, you can decrease the size of a rollback segment
Automatically. This parameter you can specify either Create or Alter statement for
rollback segments.
Eg.
The following statement shrinks rollback segment RBS1 to 50K
automatically whenever free extents coming down less than 50k:
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT rbs1 storage (OPTIMAL 100K);
30. Explain the functionality of rollback segments?
Ans.1. Rolling back Old Values
2. Providing read consistency and
3. Instance recovery
31. Why temporary segment?
Ans.When processing queries with ORDER BY, DISTINCT, GROUP BY, UNION, and
INTERSECT clause and creating index, oracle requires temporary workspace for
intermediate stages of SQL statement processing. Oracle automatically allocates this
disk space called a temporary segment.
32. When to bring the rollback segment offline?

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Ans.i) When you want to take a tablespace offline and the tablespace contains
rollback segments. You cannot take a tablespace offline if it contains rollback
segments that transactions are currently using. To prevent associated rollback
segments from being used, you can take them offline before taking the tablespace
offline.
ii). You want to drop a rollback segment, but cannot because transactions are
currently using it. To prevent the rollback segment from being used, you can take it
offline before dropping it.
Syntax.
ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT user_rs_2 OFFLINE;
Note: You cannot take the SYSTEM rollback segment offline.
33. What is deferred rollback segment?
Ans.Deferred rollback segments are rollback segments that were created to hold
rollback entries for tablespaces taken offline until the tablespaces are brought back
online.
34. What is pending offline?
Ans.If you try to take a rollback segment offline that contains rollback data for active
transactions (local, remote, or distributed), Oracle makes the rollback segment
unavailable to future transactions and the rollback segment's status in the
view V$ROLLSTAT is PENDING OFFLINE.
35. What is private and public rollback segments?
Ans. A private rollback segment is acquired explicitly by an instance when the
instance opens the database.
A Public rollback segments form a pool of rollback segments that any instance
requiring a rollback segment can use.
36. What is rollback and rolling forward?
Ans.Rollback :

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Undo the uncommitted transactions.
Rolling forward:
While performing Instance recovery rolling forward will take place for
making rollback segments with committed and uncommitted transactions.
37. When system tablespace and system rollback segment will be made offline?
Ans.System tablespace and system rollback segments can’t make offline. Because system
transactions and data dictionary views will take place in the system rollback segments
and system tablespaces.
38. How the extents will grow?
Ans.The extents will grow based on the storage parameters like next and pctincrease i.e.
Next (next*(pctincrease/100)).
39. What is the default value of the growth of tablespace?
Ans.10+(10*(50/100)) k because default value of next=10k,pctincrease=50%
40. What is row migration and row chaining?
Ans.Row migration is, If a row in a data block is updated, so that the overall row length
increases and the block's free space has been completely filled, the data for the entire
row is migrated to a new data block, assuming the entire row can fit in a new block.
Row chaining is Oracle stores the data for the row in a chain of data blocks (one or
more) reserved for that segment. Row chaining most often occurs with large rows.
41. What is pctused and pctfree?
Ans.PCTUSED - After a data block becomes full, as determined by PCTFREE, Oracle
does not consider the block for the insertion of new rows until the percentage of the
block being used falls below the parameter PCTUSED.
PCTFREE parameter is used to set the percentage of a block to be reserved (kept
free) for possible updates to rows that already are contained in that block.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
42. What is freelist?
Ans.Specifies the number of free lists for each of the free list groups for the table,
cluster, or index. The default and minimum value for this parameter is 1, meaning that
each free list group contains one free list.
43. What are maxdatafiles, maxlogfiles and maxloghistory?
Ans.Maxdatafiles - Specifies the maximum number of data files that can ever be created
for the database.
Maxlogfiles - Specifies the maximum number of redo log file groups that can ever
be created for the database.
Maxloghistory - Specifies the maximum number of archived redo log files for
automatic media recovery.
44. What is log sequence number?
Ans.Oracle assigns new log sequence number every time that a log switch occurs and
LGWR begins writing to it.
45. What is SCN?
Ans.Whenever a transaction is committed, LGWR writes the transaction's redo entries
from the redo log buffer of the SGA to an online redo log file, and a system change
number (SCN) is assigned to identify the redo entries for each committed transaction.
46. What is log switch and when it will happen?
Ans.The point at which Oracle ends writing to one online redo log file and begins writing
to another is called a log switch.
A log switch always occurs when the current online redoes log file is completely
filled and writing must continue to the next online redo log file.
47. How to switch logfile manually?
Ans.SVRMGR>ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
48. What is mirroring?
Ans.Oracle provides the capability to mirroring an instance's online redo log files to
safeguard against damage to its online redo log files. With mirroring online redo log
files, LGWR concurrently writes the same redo log information to multiple identical
online redo log files.
49. What is paging and swapping?
Ans.Paging: Moving part of the program out of memory.
Swapping: Moving complete program out of memory.
50. What is snapshot?
Ans.A snapshot is a table that contains the results of a query of one or more tables or
views, often located on a remote database. Simply you can say Image of table.
51. What is snapshot refresh?
Ans.Because a snapshot's master tables can be modified, the data in a snapshot must
occasionally be updated to ensure that the snapshot accurately reflects the data
currently in its master tables. The process of updating a snapshot for this purpose
is called snapshot refresh.
You can use the FAST or COMPLETE options of the REFRESH clause to specify the
refresh mode.
52. What is the error no ORA-1555?
Ans.Snapshot tool old. (Rollback segment too small)
53. When do you get the error ORA-1555?
Ans.This can happen when the database has many transactions that are changing data, then
committing or rolling back. The rollback data can be overwritten if the rollback
segments are too small for the number and size of the changes being made.
54. What are the different kinds of locks?

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Ans.General types are exclusive locks and share locks. But further classifications are
row level and table level.
55. What is dead lock?
Ans.A deadlock is a situation that can occur in multi-user systems that prevents some
transactions from continuing work. A deadlock can occur when two or more users are
waiting for data locked by each other.
56. What is two phase commit?
Ans.Prepare phase and commit phase.
The prepare/commit mechanism guarantees that the nodes participating in a
distributed transaction either all commit or all roll back the transaction, thus
maintaining the integrity of the global database.
57. What is striping of database?
Ans.Striping" is the practice of dividing a large table's data into small portions and
storing these portions in separate datafiles on separate disks. This permits multiple
processes to access different portions of the table concurrently without disk
contention.
58. How to create user?
Ans.SVRMGR> CREATE USER <uname>
IDENTIFIED BY <p.word>
DEFAULT TABLESPACE cases_ts
QUOTA 10M ON cases_ts;
59. Explain the role of connect, resource and dba privileges.
Ans.Connect, resource and dba are default roles which are created by oracle automatically.
Connect role having privileges : ALTER SESSION
CREATE CLUSTER
CREATE DATABASE LINK

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE SESSION
CREATE SYNONYM
CREATE TABLE and
CREATE VIEW
Recourse role’s privileges : CREATE CLUSTER
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE TABLE and CREATE TRIGGER
Dba role’s privileges. : All systems privileges WITH ADMIN OPTION .
60. What are the types of privileges?
Ans.Object privileges and System privileges.
61. What is role and how to create a role
Ans.A role is a set of privileges that can be granted to users or to other roles.
Syntax.
SVRMGR> CREATE ROLE <R.NAME> IDENTIFIED BY <P.WORD>;
62. On what privileges, with admin option can’t be given.
Ans.Object privileges. Because with admin option only for system privileges.
63. What is cascading effect?
Ans.If you revoke an object privilege from a user who has granted the privilege to
other users or roles, Oracle7 also revokes the privilege from the grantees.
64. What is auditing?
Ans.Auditing keeps track of operations performed by database users. Audit record
containing this information like user performing the operation, type of operation,
object involved in the operation, date and time of the operation.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
65. What is object audit, how to enable it and where will you see the result?
Ans.To audit all successful and unsuccessful DELETE statements on the EMP table,
BY SESSION (the default value), enter the following statement:
AUDIT DELETE ON emp;
SELECT * FROM sys.dba_obj_audit_opts;
66. What is statement audit, how to enable it and where will you see the result?
Ans.To audit all successful and unsuccessful connections to and disconnection
from the database BY SESSION (the default and only value for this option), enter the
following statement:
AUDIT SESSION BY Scott, lori;
SELECT * FROM sys.dba_stmt_audit_opts;
67. What is privilege audit, how to enable it and where will you see the result?
Ans.To audit all unsuccessful SELECT, INSERT, and DELETE statements on all
tables and unsuccessful uses of the EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE system privilege,
by all database users, BY ACCESS, enter the following statement:
AUDIT SELECT TABLE, INSERT TABLE, DELETE TABLE,
EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE BY ACCESS WHENEVER NOT SUCCESSFUL;
SELECT * FROM sys.dba_priv_audit_opts;
68. What is the initparameter to be enabled before auditing?
Ans.Audit_trail=true
69. Where all the audit information will be stored?
Ans.AUD$ table
70. What is the function of archivelog?
Ans.When you run a database in ARCHIVELOG mode, the archiving of the online
redo log is enabled. Information in a database control file indicates that a group of
filled online redo log files cannot be used by LGWR until the group is archived.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
71. How to change from noarchivelog to archivelog? Explain all the steps.
Ans.ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;

h. Open the database;
73. How to enable automatic archiving?
Ans.To enable automatic archiving of filled groups each time an instance is started,
include the LOG_ARCHIVE_START parameter, set to TRUE, in the database's
parameter file:
LOG_ARCHIVE_START=TRUE
74. How to view the status of archivelog?
Ans.ARCHIVE LOG LIST;
75. What is startup nomount and mount?
Ans.STARTUP NOMOUNT - You might want to start an instance without mounting a
database; this is usually the case only during database creation.
STARTUP MOUNT - You might want to start an instance and mount a database,
but not open the database because you want to perform renaming datafiles, Adding
, dropping, or renaming redo log files, enabling and disabling redo log archiving

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
options, performing full database recovery operations.
76. What is startup restricted?
Ans.You might want to start an instance, and mount and open a database in restricted
mode so that the database is available only to administrative personnel who are
all having restricted session privilege (not general database users).
77. What is startup force?
Ans.You can usually solve the problem by starting a new instance (and optionally
mounting and opening the database) using startup force. A database instance should
not be forced to start unless you are faced instance startup problem.
78. How to open the database after mounting is over?
Ans.SVRMGR> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
79. What is normal shutdown?
Ans.SVRMGR>SHUTDOWN;
Normal database shutdown proceeds with the following conditions:
a). No new connections are allowed after the statement is issued.
b). Before the database is shut down, Oracle7 waits for all currently connected
Users to disconnect from the database.
c). The next startup of the database will not require any instance recovery
Procedures.
80. What is shutdown immediate?
Ans.SVRMGR>SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
Immediate database shutdown proceeds with the following conditions:
a). Current client SQL statements being processed by Oracle7 are terminated
Immediately.
b). Any uncommitted transactions are rolled back.
c). Oracle7 does not wait for users currently connected to the database to

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Disconnect; Oracle7 implicitly rolls back active transactions and
Disconnects all connected users.
81. What is shutdown abort?
Ans.Aborting an instance shuts down a database and yields the following results:
a). Current client SQL statements being processed by Oracle7 are immediately
Terminated.
b). Uncommitted transactions are not rolled back.
c). Oracle7 does not wait for users currently connected to the database to
Disconnect; Oracle7 implicitly disconnects all connected users.
d). It’s require instance recovery when restart the database.
82. What is user_dump_dest?
Ans.The pathname for a directory where the server will write debugging user trace
files on behalf of a user process.
83. What is dedicated architecture and MTS?
Ans.Dedicated server - The separate server process created on behalf of each user is a
dedicated server process
MTS - The multi-threaded server configuration eliminates the need for a dedicated
server process for each connection. A single server process may provide service to
more than one connections.
84. What is SQL*NET?
Ans.SQL*Net is Oracle Corporation's latest remote data access software. It enables both
client-server and server-server communications across any network. With SQL*Net,
databases and their applications can reside on different computers and communicate
as peer applications.
85. What are MRU and LRU?
Ans.MRU - Most Recently used list

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
LRU - Least Recently used list
86. What cache hit and cache miss?
Ans.Fetching data block data buffer cache – cache hit
Fetching data from physical disk – cache miss
87. What is Rowid?
Ans.ROWID is a pseudocolumn that returns a row's address. ROWID values
contain Information necessary to locate a row:
Which data block in the data file?
Which row in the data block (first row is 0)
Which data file (first file is 1)
ROWID value uniquely identifies a row in the database. However, rows in
different tables that are stored together in the same cluster can have the same
ROWID.
88. What is the importance of backup?
Ans.Backups of the database's datafiles and control files are absolutely necessary as
part of the strategy to safeguard data against potential media failures that can damage
these files.
89. What are the kinds of backups?
Ans.Physical backup – Online backup (Hot) and Offline (Cold) backup
Logical backup - Complete, cumulative and incremental backup using export utility.
90. How do you take the backup of control file. Why do you have to take that?
Ans.SVRMGR> ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROL FILE TO TRACE;
Because a control file keeps track of the associated database's physical file
structure, a backup of a database's control file should be made every time a
structural change is made to the database.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
91. What is meant by logical backup?
Ans.If you use Export to backup, all data must be exported in a logically consistent
way so that the backup reflects a single point in time. No one should make changes to
the database while the Export takes place. Ideally, you should run the database in
restricted mode while you export the data, so no regular users can access the data.
92. What is online and offline backups?
Ans.Online Backup:
Online backups are taken while the database is Open. Before you make an
online backup, you must do begin and end backup of tablespace. Online backups
allow you to back up all or part of the database while it is running.
Offline Backup:
Offline backups are taken while the database is shut down. Before you make
an offline backup, you must therefore shutdown server.
93. What is hot backup, when do you take it and how do you take it? Explain the steps.
Ans.Online or HOT backups allow you to back up all or part of the database while it is
running.
Syntax
ALTER TABLESPACE <Tablespace name> BEGIN BACKUP;
.... Operating system commands to copy datafiles...
.... Copy completed...
ALTER TABLESPACE < Tablespace name>END BACKUP;
94. What is cold backup, when do you take it and how do you take it? Explain the steps.
Ans.Offline or COLD backups are taken while the database is shut down. Before you
make an offline backup, you must therefore shutdown server.
Steps.
SVRMGR> Shutdown
SVRMGR> ! (goto o/s level)
C:\……….> Copy all the files

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
C:\……….>exit (back to svrmgr tool)
SVRMGR>startup
95. What is export? Where it will be stored?
Ans.Using EXP tool extract the object definitions and table data from an Oracle
database and store them in an Oracle-binary format export file that is located typically
on tape or on disk. Export files can be used to transfer data between databases that are
on machines not connected via a network or as backups in addition to normal backup
procedures. Default export file name is EXPDAT.DMP
96. What are the kinds of export?
Ans.Database, User and Table
97. What is import and how do you import?
Ans.Import extracts the objects from an Export file and puts them into a Database.
Using IMP tool in o/s level.
98. What is import option Ignore and Destroy?
Ans.Ignore: Specifies how object creation errors should be handled. Specifying
IGNORE=Y causes Import to overlook object creation errors when attempting to
create database objects.
Destroy: Specifies whether the existing data files making up the database should be
reused. That is, the DESTROY option specifies that IMPORT should include the
reuse option in the datafile clause of the CREATE TABLESPACE command.
99. What happens when you issue begin backup and end backup?
Ans.When you say begin backup, checkpoint will take place to update the highest
SCN in the respective Tablespace’s datafile header after that datafile header will be
frozen.
When you say end backup, datafile header frozen will be released.
Checkpoint will not take place.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
100.What is recovery?
Ans.If hardware, software, network, process, or system failure affects the
operation of a database system, you must usually recover the databases and return to
normal operations as quickly as possible.
101.What are the types of recovery?
Ans.Complete media recovery, Incomplete media recovery and Instance
Recovery.
102.What is point in time recovery?
Ans.Recovering the database to the particular point in time using this syntax.
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME;
Statement to begin time-based recovery. The time is always specified using the
following format, delimited by single quotation marks: 'YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS'.
103.What is media recovery?
Ans.Media recovery restores a database's datafiles to the most recent point-in-time
before disk failure, and includes the committed data in memory that was lost due to
failure
104.What is complete and incomplete media recovery?
Ans.Complete: Complete media recovery recovers all lost changes; no work is lost.
Complete media recovery is possible only if all necessary redo logs (online and archived)
are available.
Different types of complete media recovery are available, depending on the files
that are damaged and the availability of the database that is required during recovery
operations.
i. Closed Database Recovery
j. Open Database-Offline Tablespace Recovery
k. Open Database-Offline Tablespace-Individual Datafile Recovery
In complete: In complete media recovery is performed to reconstruct the

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
damaged database to a transaction consistent state before the media failure or user error.
There are different types of incomplete media recovery that might be used,
depending on the situation that requires incomplete media recovery:
i. cancel-based
j. time-based
k. Change-based incomplete recovery.
105.What is tablespace recovery and how do you that?
Ans.TABLESPACE recovery performs media recovery on all datafiles in the
tablespaces listed. To translate the tablespace names into datafile names, the database
must be mounted and open. The tablespaces must be offline to perform the recovery.
Syntax. : SVRMGR> RECOVER TABLESPACE <name>;
106.What is database recovery and how do you that?
Ans.DATABASE recovery performs media recovery on all online datafiles that require
redo to be applied. If all instances were cleanly shutdown, and no backups were restored,
RECOVER DATABASE indicates a no recovery required error.
Syntax : SVRMGR>Recover database;(In mount stage)
107.Why should you tune the system?
Ans.To achieve performance targets of response time, throughput, and constraints
you must tune analysis, design, and implementation.
108.What are the levels of tuning?
Ans.a) Design Level
b) Application level
c) Memory Level
d) I/O level
e) Contention level
109.What is optimizer and it’s types?

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
Ans.The optimizer's behavior when choosing an optimization approach and goal
for a SQL statement is affected by these factors:
The OPTIMIZER_MODE initialization parameter
Statistics in the data dictionary
The OPTIMIZER_GOAL parameter of the ALTER SESSION command
Hints in the statement
Types : CHOOSE, COST and RULE.
110.When will you create index? Up to what extend it is worth to index.
Ans.As a general guideline, you should create indexes on tables that are often queried
for less than 2% or 4% of the table's rows. This value may be higher in situations where
all data can be retrieved from an index, or where the indexed columns can be used for
joining to other tables.
111.What is cluster and how do you create it?
Ans.Clusters are an optional method of storing table data. A cluster is a group of
tables that share the same data blocks because they share common columns and are often
used together.
Syntax.
CREATE CLUSTER <name>(dno NUMBER(2) );
table is similar in
112.What is Normalization?
Ans.Normalization is basic to designing a high-performance system. It is the process
of breaking down all items to their lowest level, making sure that each piece of data can
be uniquely identified and is not duplicated.
113.What is De-normalization?
Ans.In the real world, a world in which performance may be more important than
abstract perfection, you may find that you need to compromise your commitment to
normalize and be flexible about dealing with real data, for that you may need to embrace

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
the necessary evil of denormalization.
114.When do de-normalize?
Ans.There are number of situations in which you may improve performance by
denormalizing your data. If you find that your application is performing repetitive SQL
table joins and sort/merges on large tables, you may be able to avoid reducing the need
for these operations if you denormalize some part of your database.
115.What are database triggers?
Ans.A database trigger is a stored PL/SQL block that is associated with a table. Oracle
automatically executes a trigger when a specified SQL statement is issued against the
table.
116.How many database triggers available in oracle V7.x and V8.x?
Ans.In oracle 7.x only 12 types of triggers, but in oracle 8.x 14 types of triggers i.e. 12
database triggers plus two instead of triggers.
117.In one table how many database triggers can be invoked in V7.x and V8.x?
Ans.In oracle 7.x a table can have 12 triggers maximum, but in oracle 8.x any number of
triggers can in be invoked to a table.
118.What is parallel server?
Ans.A database can be access through more than one instance. Parallel processing
divides a large task into many smaller tasks, and executes the smaller tasks concurrently
on several nodes. As a result, the larger task completes more quickly.
119.What is disk array?
Ans.Redundant arrays of inexpensive disks (RAID) can offer significant advantages in
their failure resilience features. They also permit striping to be quite easily achieved, but
do not appear to provide any significant performance advantage.

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
120.What is parallel query?
Ans.With the parallel query feature, multiple processes can work together
simultaneously to process a single SQL statement. This capability is called parallel query
processing. By dividing the work necessary to process a statement among multiple server
processes, the Oracle Server can process the statement more quickly than if only a single
server process processed it.
121.What is Sql*loader?
Ans.SQL*Loader moves data from external files into tables in an Oracle database.
SQL*Loader loads data in a variety of formats, performs filtering and loads multiple
tables simultaneously.
SQL*Loader can:
. Load data from multiple datafiles of different file types
. Handle fixed-format, delimited-format, and variable-length records
. Manipulate data fields with SQL functions before inserting the data into
database columns
. Load multiple tables during the same run, loading selected rows into each table
. Load data from disk or tape
. Provide thorough error reporting capabilities, so you can easily adjust and load
all records
122.What is remote transaction?
Ans.A remote transaction is a transaction that contains one or more remote statements,
all of which reference the same remote node.
123.What is DDBMS?
Ans.Distributed Database Management Systems:
A distributed database system appears to a user as a single server but is, in fact, a
set of two or more servers. The data on each server can be simultaneously accessed and
modified via a network. Each server in the distributed system is controlled by its local
database administrator (DBA), and each server cooperates to maintain the consistency of

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
the global database.
124.What is SQL?
Ans.Structured Query Language (SQL), pronounced "sequel," is the set of commands
that all programs and users must use to access data within the Oracle database.
125.What are DDL, DML, TCL and DCL?
Ans.
DDL – Data Definition Language; Create, Alter, Drop and Truncate.
DML – Data Manipulation Language; Insert, Update and Delete.
TCL - Transaction Control Language; Commit, Rollback and Savepoint
DCL - Data Control Language; Grant and Revoke.
126.What is Savepoint?
Ans.To identify a point in a transaction to which you can later roll back.
127.What is truncate command?
Ans.To remove all rows from a table or cluster and reset the STORAGE parameters to
the values when the table or cluster was created.
128.What is PL/sql?
Ans.PL/SQL (Procedural Language/SQL) is set of procedural capabilities that extend
the power of traditional SQL. PL/sql statements can be combined with traditional SQL in
variety of SQL products to increase the ease of application programming, and
considerably overall system performance.
Block Structure:
Declare
<Local declaration>
Begin
<Statements>
Exception
<Error handler>

lOMoARcPSD|18949579
End;
129.What is ODBC?
Ans.Open Database Connectivity.
A standard protocol for accessing Relational Database around sql.
130.What is referential integrity constraint?
Ans.A referential integrity constraint designates a column or combination of columns
as a foreign key and establishes a relationship between that foreign key and a specified
primary or unique key, called the referenced key. In this relationship, the table containing
the foreign key is called the child table and the table containing the referenced key is
called the parent table.
131.What is stand by database?
Ans.A standby database maintains a duplicate, or standby copy of your primary
database and provides continued primary database availability in the event of a disaster
(when all media is destroyed at your production site).
A standby database is constantly in recovery mode. If a disaster occurs, you can
take the standby database out of recovery mode and activate it for online use. Once you
activate your standby database, you cannot return it to standby recovery mode unless you
re-create it as another standby database.
