The Oracle Database (commonly referred to as Oracle RDBMS or simply as Oracle) is a leading enterprise-grade object-relational database management system that offers secure data management and transaction processing. As the RDBMS of choice of many organizations, including DBS, it is important to have a sound understanding of the internal workings and complexities of the database. This knowledge sharing session on Oracle Database Architecture is intended to provide an architectural and conceptual overview of the Oracle database server - it will explain how the Oracle database server functions, describes the important components, the basic data structures that store data and metadata, and provides some performance best practices for designing, creating, and deploying an initial database for performance, manageability, and high availability.
This will cover the following topics:
I. Elements of the Oracle Database
II. Database Instance Structures
III. Database Storage Structures
IV. Multitenant Architecture (12c Version)
