In addition, there are several other add-ons as well as less visible but significant
components in the Oracle suite. A brief discussion (overview) of a few of these
components follows.
16.2.1 Oracle Server
The Oracle Server is the central database engine of the Oracle Suite. It hosts a fairly
comprehensive implementation of SQL, supporting all major SQL statements, and with
enhancements of its own.
The developer typically writes SQL statements in an SQL *Plus environment. This
environment provides:
•
Additional commands which can be used along with standard
SQL commands
•
A default editor (notepad), which may also be used to key
in commands
•
A line editor, which may be used to key in commands
