Oracle SQL & PL/SQL

  DBA_OBJECTS is an Oracle data dictionary view that lists every object in the entire database — tables, views, indexes, sequences, procedures, packages, triggers, synonyms, etc. — across all schemas and all these were managed by DBA. Core Oracle database objects Object                                       Purpose      1> Table                               Stores application data in rows and columns 2> Index                             Improves query performance by providing faster access paths 3> View                               Virtual table based on a SQL query 4> Materialized View   Stores the re...

  A database schema is like a blueprint that defines how data is organized and stored in a database . It describes the structure of tables, columns, data types, relationships, constraints, and indexes, providing a clear framework for how different pieces of data are stored and connected. 🔑 Key Points Schema = Structure → Defines tables, columns, and rules. Ensures consistency → Data must follow the schema (e.g., a column defined as INT cannot store text). Relationships → Specifies how tables connect (foreign keys, primary keys). Constraints → Rules like NOT NULL , UNIQUE , CHECK .

SQL databases are relational and structured, making them ideal for applications that require well-defined relationships, data consistency, and reliable transactions. NoSQL databases , on the other hand, are non-relational and offer greater flexibility, making them well-suited for handling large volumes of rapidly changing, semi-structured, or unstructured data. In simple terms: Choose SQL when data relationships, accuracy, and transactional integrity are critical. Choose NoSQL when you need flexibility, high scalability, and fast performance for large or evolving datasets.  📌 When to Use SQL Transactional systems : Banking, e-commerce checkout, payroll. Complex queries & reporting : Business intelligence, analytics dashboards. Stable schema : Customer records, inventory management. Strong consistency required : Financial transactions, compliance-heavy industries. 📌 When to Use NoSQL High scalability needs : Social media feeds, IoT sensor data, gaming leaderboards. Unstru...
