Summary
• The Oracle Database is one of the relational databases supported by the SAP applica-
tion. A list of all supported databases can be obtained from the product availability
matrix.
• The Oracle Database consists primarily of a passive database and an Oracle instance.
• The database consists of logical data units referred to as tablespaces.
• Each tablespace has one or more physical datafiles.
• Datafiles permanently store the committed data from database operations.
• Redo log files store redo information. They are useful when instance recovery is
needed after a power failure or network issue.
• The control file has the exact structure of the physical database. It is read at instance
start.
• The Oracle instance consists of the memory structures and background processes.
