  1. Week 1 Lecture 1 Oracle Architecture Overview

  2. Learning Objectives • Learn about Oracle9i architecture and key Oracle9i software components • Discover differences between Oracle9i client and server installation options • Examine how to use OFA (Optimal Flexible Architecture)

  3. Oracle9i Architecture: Key Components The core Oracle9i RDBMS software includes a suite of over 200 components. Key components are: • Oracle9i database & Oracle Net • Java/Web components • Oracle Enterprise Manager & Mgt. Packs • SQL*Plus • Utilities, Precompilers, and add-ons

  4. Oracle9i Architecture: Running the Database The Oracle9i database server has 3 parts: • Database: data files, control files, and redo log files • Software: database executable files • Instance: background processes and memory

  5. Oracle9i Architecture: A Typical Server

  6. Oracle9i Architecture: Server Configurations

  7. 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

  8. Oracle9i Installation Options: N-tier

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. Oracle Universal Installer The user-friendly installation tool: • Installs any Oracle tool available to you • Capable of managing two releases of Oracle products on the same computer using Oracle Home • Able to run installations without human intervention with the Silent Install option

  12. 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

  13. OFA: Directory Structure Standards ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME define the root directory structures

  14. 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

  15. Lecture Summary • Oracle9i 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

  16. Lecture Summary • Multi-tier architecture provides greater flexibility and independence of software components • Oracle Universal Installer features an Oracle Home selector and Silent Install option • Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) defines standards for directory structure and file names
