INTRODUCTION TO ORAC"E
C"IENT SERVER COM!UTIN# ARCHITECTURE
It consists of two or more computers designated as client machine running an application program which
communicates with remote computer designated as server machine which serves request from client
machine. In basic model of client server computing, RB!" resides on server machine. #he application
program which resides on client machine interfaces with client software called middleware that are
responsible for communicating request $ results between their application programs and RB!".
C"IENT
#he Client is the front %N application of a database which interacts with the server. #he Client has more
responsibility for accessing the data, it concentrates on the requests. #he processing and presentation ismanaged by the server.
SERVER
#he "erver e&ecutes the 'racle software and these with the function required for simultaneous and shared
data e&cess. #he server receives and processes the "(l and )*+"(* declaration and that originates in the
client application.

#here are two types of Client "erver !odel are
#wo tier Client "erver !odel
#hree tier client "erver !odel
#wo tier Client "erver !odel: It improves the scalability by allowing upto --s of user and is very
fle&ible for data sharing. Client requests services whereas the server it provides its services. #here is one
limitation of this tier i.e. the design of this architecture scales up. #here are three components of client of
this tier:
/ser "ystem interface
)rocessing !anagement
atabase !anagement
#hree #ier Client "erver !odel: 0hen the less software is on the client, there is less worry about
security. "ince the importance software is on a server and in a more controlled environment. #he support
and installation cost of maintaining the software on a single server is much less than trying to maintain
the same software on --s of )Cs.
ADVANTA#ES O& C"IENT SERVER MODE"
It allows the user to wor1 in e&tensible form.
It can wor1 on any type of operating system eg. /NI2, *IN/2, 0in 34.
It provides the facility to establish the lin1 between remote databases.
It provides the facility of fast accessing of information and processing of data.
Better application performance and networ1 usage i.e. it reduces the networ1 time.
It is multiplatform and centrali5ed.
istributed computing as the servers act as a focal point for data management.
)rovides fle&ibility and full utili5ation of all resources.
#he same database is shared by different clients.
DISADVANTA#ES O& C"IENT SERVER MODE"
Bottlenec1: If a significant portion of application layer is moved to a server, the server may
become a bottle nec1 in the processing and distribution of data to the client

resolve its query.

called master table. #wo types are Read only and update. Readonly does not allow changes to be made in
view. It simply publishes and subscribes the replications. It allows changes in local copy which
periodically updates master table.

Inde& is a way to store and search records in the table. #hese are used to improve the speed with which
records can be located and retrieved from the table. 'racle retrieves rows in table in one of two ways are:
By R'0I
By full table scan
#he creation and dropping of inde& doesnt affect the storage of data in the underlying tables.
Inde&es are primarily used for 6 reasons are:
#o ensure the uniqueness of the inde&ed columns values.
#o enhance performance.

9*#%R #9B*% command.

CONSTRAINT
Constraints are the rules that restrict the data values inserted in columns of a table. It helps in
maintaining integrity of table at database level instead of application level. 9ll application can ta1e
advantage of these global constraints, rather than building similar logic in individual application.
Constraints can constrain single column or group of columns in a table. Constraints can be specified astwo types:
Column level constraint
#able level constraint
Column level constraint : Column constraints are specified as part of column definition to constrain single
column.
#able level constraint : #able constraints is specified at end of create table statement to constraint more
than one column.
8ollowing are the constraints used in tables are
NU""+NOT NU"" / "pecifies if the column must contain value or might not contain any. By default all
columns in a table allows nulls, ie. 9bsence of a value in a column. N'# N/** specifies that all rows in
the table to have value for specified column. 9ll N'# N/** columns are mandatory fields.
