Description:
Welcome to the comprehensive guide on Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) concepts, tailored for final year B.Sc. Computer Science students affiliated with Alagappa University. This document covers fundamental principles and advanced topics in RDBMS, offering a structured approach to understanding databases in the context of modern computing. PDF content is prepared from the text book Learn Oracle 8I by JOSE A RAMALHO.
Key Topics Covered:
Main Topic : USERS, Roles and Privileges
In Oracle databases, users are individuals or applications that interact with the database. Each user is assigned specific roles, which are collections of privileges that define their access levels and capabilities. Privileges are permissions granted to users or roles, allowing actions like creating tables, executing procedures, or querying data. Properly managing users, roles, and privileges is essential for maintaining security and ensuring that users have appropriate access to database resources, thus supporting effective data management and integrity within the Oracle environment.
Sub-Topic :
Definition of User, User Creation Commands, Grant Command, Deleting a user, Privileges, System privileges and object privileges, Grant Object Privileges, Viewing a users, Revoke Object Privileges, Creation of Role, Granting privileges and roles to role, View the roles of a user , Deleting a role
Target Audience:
Final year B.Sc. Computer Science students at Alagappa University seeking a solid foundation in RDBMS principles for academic and practical applications.

Editor's Notes
Hacks: The Better Way
-Life hacks show people the more efficient, smarter way to handle everyday tasks
-Library Hacks will show you several ways to enhance your library experience and make you a savvier user of everything the library has to offer
(Several examples of common life hacks users may find online. Insert a few of your personal favorites here!)
-Physical Resources vs. Electronic Resources
-For physical or e-materials: Catalog Search Functions (Basic, Advanced, Summon [or other discovery tool])
-For electronic resources/databases: Options and access points
For finding different physical sources or e-books there are three options for searching:
-Basic Search: Allows the user to specify keywords or strings of keywords and a descriptor for that search (title, author, etc.).
-Advanced Search: Provides the user three fields for keyword/descriptor searches linked with Boolean search terms (and, or, not).
-Summon: This discovery tool allows users to search not only physical holdings, but also within all databases to which FSU subscribes.
Which should I choose?
-Basic and advanced only search physical holdings or e-book resources within the catalog.
-Summon pulls from a MUCH larger pool of resources linked through the electronic subscription databases.
Does it make a difference which is used?
-Each search function operates a different way and offers a variety of results--smart searching will make research far more efficient!
Basic search is located on the homepage of the Allen Music Library (music.fsu.edu/library).
-Even simple searches can be narrowed down by including keyword strings as opposed to very general, single-word searches.
-”Beethoven sonata moonlight” provides far more clarity than simply “Beethoven.”
-Getting too specific can be problematic, but it is definitely helpful.
