In brief

Oracle Database in brief

Oracle Database is a relationales Datenbanksystem for transaktionale Anwendungen, analytische Abfragen, Sicherheit and Hochverfügbarkeit.

Where does it come from?

Oracle Database was aus Larry Ellisons, Bob Miners and Ed Oates' Relational Software hervorgebracht; die erste kommerzielle Version erschien 1979. Die Entwicklung folgte dem Bedarf, relationale Daten über SQL zuverlässig zu speichern und gleichzeitig für große Unternehmenslasten zu skalieren.

The mental model

Tabellen, Indizes and Constraints bilden das Datenmodell; SQL liest and verändert Daten, Transaktionen sichern Konsistenz, and der Optimizer wählt Ausführungspläne. Instanzen, Speicherstrukturen, Recovery and Optionen bestimmen den Betriebsrahmen.
