■1979: Larry Ellison and friends founded Software Development Laboratories.
■1979: SDL changed its company-name to "Relational Software, Inc." (RSI) and introduced its product Oracle V2 as an early commercially-available relational database system. The version did not support transactions, but implemented the basic SQL functionality of queries and joins. (RSI never released a version 1 - instead calling the first version version 2 as a marketing gimmick.)[23]
■1982: RSI in its turn changed its name, becoming known as "Oracle Corporation",[24] to align itself more closely with its flagship product.
■1983: The company released Oracle version 3, which it had re-written using the C programming language and which supported COMMIT and ROLLBACK functionality for transactions. Version 3 extended platform support from the existing Digital VAX/VMS systems to include Unix environments.[24]
■1984: Oracle Corporation released Oracle version 4, which supported read-consistency.
■1985: Oracle Corporation released Oracle version 5, which supported the client-server model — a sign of networks becoming more widely available in the mid-1980s.
■1986: Oracle version 5.1 started supporting distributed queries.
■1988: Oracle RDBMS version 6 came out with support for PL/SQL embedded within Oracle Forms v3 (version 6 could not store PL/SQL in the database proper), row-level locking and hot backups.[25]
■1989: Oracle Corporation entered the application products market and developed its ERP product, (later to become part of the Oracle E-Business Suite), based on the Oracle relational database.
■1990: the release of Oracle Applications release 8[24]
■1992: Oracle version 7 appeared with support for referential integrity, stored procedures and triggers.
■1997: Oracle Corporation released version 8, which supported object-

记得以前上OCP课程的时候那个老师教我们使用PROFILE来限制用户的一些操作，那个时候估计是老师偷懒吧，所有实验都是通过OEM的形式来操作，根本不会涉及到命令行。
平时在学习ORACLE的过程中好像也很少碰到关于PROFILE的问题，今天逛一个朋友的BLOG的时候发现这篇文章，觉得挺好的，内容不多，简洁明了，好歹也算是个命令行 ......
如何定义游标类型
TYPE ref_type_name IS REF CURSOR [RETURN return_type];
声明游标变量
cursor_name ref_type_name;
从技术底层看，两者是相同的。普通plsql cursor在定义时是“静态”的。而Ref cursors可以动态打开。
例如下面例子：
Declare
type rc is ref cursor;
cursor c is select * from dual ......
Oracle Process Structure
Oracle takes advantage of various types of processes:
—User process: Started at the time a database user requests connection to the Oracle server
—Server process: Connects to the Oracle instance and is started when a user establishes a session

第九章节 :触发器编码
触发器是存储在数据库存中隐式的运行或者被触发的一段程序，当某些事件发生。通常情况下，触发器中支持可执行的一段pl/sql代码块，当一个insert,update,或者delete命名发生在一个表或者视图上的时候。其也支持系统和数据库或者方案事件.oracle数据库也支持触发器中含� ......
在Oracle中可以创建组合索引，即同时包含两个或两个以上列的索引。在组合索引的使用方面，Oracle有以下特点：
1、 当使用基于规则的优化器（RBO）时，只有当组合索引的前导列出现在SQL语句的where子句中时，才会使用到该索引；
2、 在使用Oracle9i之前的基于成本的优化器（CBO）时 ......
