The database server allows many users to access data from a single location. However, this architecture can be extended to allow many users to access data from many databases, and it allows those databases to cooperate in maintaining consistency.
Oracle7 Server provides extensive server functionality. The simplicity of the client-server architecture allows clients to make requests that are routed to the appropriate server. These requests are in the form of transactions. Client transactions can be SQL or PL/SQL procedures and functions that access the individual databases and services.
