The Oracle Database Sample Schemas are a set of interlinked schemas. This set of schemas is
aimed at providing a layered approach to complexity:
A simple schema (Human Resources, HR) for introducing basic topics.
A second schema (Order Entry, OE) for dealing with matters of intermediate complexity. A
multitude of data types is available in this schema.
The Online Catalog (OC) subschema is a collection of object-relational database objects
built inside the OE schema.
A schema dedicated to multimedia data types (Product Media, PM)
A set of schemas gathered under the main schema name QS (Queued Shipping) to
demonstrate Oracle Advanced Queuing capabilities.

Human Resources (HR)

The company also tracks information about jobs within the organization. Each job has an
identification number, job title, and a minimum and maximum salary range for the job. Some
employees have been with the company for a long time and have held different jobs within the
company. When an employee switches jobs, the company records the start date and end date of
the former job, the job identification number, and the department.
The sample company is regionally diverse, so it tracks the locations of not only its warehouses
but also of its departments. Each of the companys employees is assigned to a department. Each
department is identified by a unique department code and a short name. Each department is
associated with one location. Each location has a full address that includes the street address,
postal code, city, state or province, and country code.
For each country where it has facilities, the company records the country name, currency
symbol, currency name and the region in which the county resides geographically.

In the companys human resource records, each employee has a unique identification number,
e-mail address, job identification number, salary, and manager. Some employees earn a
commission in addition to their salary, which is also tracked. When an employee switches jobs,
the company records the start date and end date of the former job, the job identification number,
and department.

Order Entry (OE)

Inventory information is also recorded for all products, including the warehouse where the
product is available and the quantity on hand. Because products are sold worldwide, the
company maintains the names of the products and their descriptions in several different
languages.
The company maintains warehouses in several locations to facilitate filling customer orders.
Each warehouse has a warehouse identification number, name, and location identification
number.
Customer information is tracked in some detail. Each customer is assigned an identification
number. Customer records include name, street address, city or province, country, phone
numbers (up to five phone numbers for each customer), and postal code. Some customers order
through the Internet, so e-mail addresses are also recorded. Because of language differences
among customers, the company records the NLS language and territory of each customer. The
company places a credit limit on its customers to limit the amount they can purchase at one
time. Some customers have account managers, whom we monitor. We keep track of a
customer's phone numbers. In this day, we never know how many phone numbers a customer
might have, but we try to keep track of all of them. Because of the language differences of our
customers, we identify the language and territory of each customer.
When a customer places an order, the company tracks the date of the order, the mode of the
order, status, shipping mode, total amount of the order, and the sales representative who helped
place the order. This may be the same individual as the account manager for a customer, it may
be different, or, in the case of an order over the Internet, the sales representative is not recorded.
In addition to the order information, we also track the number of items ordered, the unit price,
and the products ordered.
For each country in which it does business, the company records the country name, currency
symbol, currency name, and the region in which the county resides geographically. This data is
useful for tracking customers living in different geographic regions around the world.
Product Media (PM)
The company stores multimedia and print information about its products in the database.
Examples of such information are:
Promotional audio and video clips
Product images and thumbnails for web publishing
Press release texts
Print media ads
Other promotion texts and translations

The company sells several categories of products, including computer hardware and software,
music, clothing, and tools. The company maintains product information that includes product
identification numbers, the category into which the product falls, the weight group (for shipping
purposes), the warranty period if applicable, the supplier, the status of the product, a list price, a
minimum price at which a product will be sold, and a URL address for manufacturer
information.

Queued Shipping (QS)

Eventually, the company intends to expand beyond its current in-house distribution system to a
system that will allow other businesses to provide the shipping. Therefore, the messages sent
between the businesses must also travel over HTTP and be in a self-contained format. XML is
the perfect format for the message, and both the Advanced Queuing Servlet and Oracle Internet
Directory provide the appropriate routing between the queues.
After the orders are either shipped or back ordered, a message needs to be sent back to
appropriate employees to inform them of the order's status and to initiate the billing cycle. It is
critical that the message be delivered only once and that there be a system for tracking and
reviewing messages to facilitate resolution of any discrepancies with the order.
For the purpose of this test application, the company utilizes a single database server and a
single application server. The application provides a mechanism for examining the XML
messages as well as looking at the queues. To demonstrate connectivity from outside the
firewall, both the generation of a new order and customer service reporting are performed using
queues. The new order application directly enqueues a queue, while the customer service
queries require XML messaging to dequeue a queue.
The users associated with this application are:
QS (Queue Shipping)
QS_ES (Eastern Shipping)
QS_WS (Western Shipping)
QS_OS (Overseas Shipping)
QS_CB (Customer Billing)
QS_CS (Customer Service)
QS_ADM (Administration), and
QS_CBADM (Customer Billing Administration)

The sample company has decided to test the use of messaging to manage its proposed B2B
applications. The plan calls for a small test that will allow a user from outside the firewall to
place an order and track its status. The order must be booked into the main system. Then,
depending on the location of the customer, the order is routed to the nearest region for shipping.
