Database Administrator Utilities

Several utilities are available to help you maintain and control the Oracle7 Server.

The following topics are included in this section:

Server Manager

Server Manager allows you to monitor and control an Oracle7 database. All administrative operations discussed in this book are executed using Server Manager. Server Manager has both GUI (Graphical User Interface) and line mode interfaces.

Server Manager uses a superset of ANSI/ISO standard SQL commands. The most common administrative commands are available in the menus of Server Manager/GUI. Commands used less frequently can be typed into a Server Manager SQL Worksheet and executed.

SQL*Loader

SQL*Loader is used by both database administrators and users of Oracle7. It loads data from standard operating system files (files in text or C data format) into Oracle7 database tables.

Export and Import

The Export and Import utilities allow you to move existing data in Oracle7 format to and from Oracle7 databases. For example, export files can archive database data, or move data among different Oracle7 databases that run on the same or different operating systems.
