Oracle Database Architecture
An Oracle server:
Is a database management system that provides
an open, comprehensive, integrated approach to
information management
Consists of an Oracle instance and an Oracle
database

Process Structures
User process: Is started at the time a database
user requests a connection to the Oracle server
Server process: Connects to the Oracle instance
and is started when a user establishes a session
Background processes: Are started when an
Oracle instance is started

Tablespaces and Data Files
Tablespaces consist of one or more data files.
Data files belong to only one tablespace.
USERS tablespace
Data file 1 Data file 2

SYSTEM and SYSAUX Tablespaces
The SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespaces are
mandatory tablespaces.
They are created at the time of database creation.
They must be online.
The SYSTEM tablespace is used for core
functionality (for example, data dictionary tables).
The auxiliary SYSAUX tablespace is used for
additional database components (such as the
Enterprise Manager Repository).

Segments, Extents, and Blocks
Segments exist within a tablespace.
Segments are made up of a collection of extents.
Extents are a collection of data blocks.
Data blocks are mapped to disk blocks.
