Nested table

A nested table, within the database, is a type of column that contains a set of values. The rows of a nested table are not stored in any specific order in the database. When a nested table is retrieved from the database into a PL/SQL variable, the rows of the nested table are granted with continuous subscripts beginning from 1. A nested table has the following features:
The number of elements is not declared for a nested table.
Nested tables are used when there is no set number of index values.
Elements from an initially dense nested table can be deleted, thus making it sparse.

How table and database names are stored on a storage device and used in MySQL?

The following values are used to determine how table and database names are stored on disk and used in MySQL that is affected by the lower_case_table_names system variable, which can be set while starting mysqld:
lower_case_table_names=0: If the value is set to 0, table and database names are stored on the storage device by using the lettercase that is specified in the CREATE TABLE or CREATE DATABASE statement. Name comparisons are case sensitive. The value of this variable should not be set to 0 if the user is running MySQL on a system that has case-insensitive file names, for example, Windows or Mac OS X. If the user forces this variable to 0 with –lower-case-table-names=0 on a case-insensitive file system and accesses MyISAM tablenames using different lettercases, the index may be corrupted as a result.
lower_case_table_names=1: If the value is set to 1, table names are stored in lowercase on the storage device and comparisons of name are not case sensitive. MySQL is used to convert all table names to lowercase on storage and lookup. It is also applied to database names and table aliases.
lower_case_table_names=2: If the value is set to 2, table and database names are stored on the storage device by using the lettercase that is specified in the CREATE TABLE or CREATE DATABASE statement; however, MySQL is used to convert them to lowercase on lookup. In this value, name comparisons are not case sensitive. It works only on file systems that are not case sensitive.

Ad hoc reports

Ad hoc reports specifically refer to Report Builder reports, and not to reports that can be created using the Report Wizard. An ad hoc report can be created from an existing report model by using Report Builder. Ad hoc reports leverage pre-defined templates and report models to enable information workers to easily and quickly explore business data using data structures and familiar terminology that have been implemented in the report model. Just like other Reporting Services reports, ad hoc reports can be saved and run locally or published to a report server.

The SYSASM privilege

The SYSASM privilege is created in Oracle Database 11g to further facilitate separation of duties within the Oracle environment. Using the SYSASM privilege for ASM administration creates a clearer division of responsibility between ASM administration and database administration. An optional capability is also provided to prevent different databases using the same storage from accidentally overwriting each others files. As with the SYSDBA privilege, one can create a user with the SYSASM privilege for an ASM instance. However, since there is no data dictionary in an ASM instance, the credentials are only stored in the password file. Otherwise, operating system credentials can be used to connect to the ASM instance. The SYSDBA privilege is still available for use in an ASM instance, but is deprecated; a message is written to the ASM instance’s alert log. Using SYSDBA in an ASM instance will be removed in a future release. Note: SYSDBA is for general database and instance maintenance operations, SYSOPER is for startup/shutdown and other restricted tasks, and SYSASM is to specifically manage an ASM instance.

View

A view is a type of virtual table. The data accessible through a view is not stored in the database as a distinct object. Views are created by defining a SELECT statement. The result set of the SELECT statement forms the virtual table. A user can use this virtual table by referencing the view name in SQL statements in the same way a table is referenced. A view does not contain data of its own but derives (or dynamically displays) data from other tables or views on the basis of the query specified for the view. The tables from which a view derives data are known as base tables. Operations on a view affect its base tables. The syntax for creating a view is as follows: CREATE VIEW AS SELECT FROM WHERE
