 A client/server system: consists of a client and a server that are

linked through a networks.

 Client :requests the server for a given service through a special

software.

Oracle Forms:Forms is an application development tool for building client-server database applications. Three components are employed while building applications for Oracle : a) Oracle Form Designer:- Set of visual tools that create objects, set their properties and let you write codes for your applications. b) Oracle Forms Generate:- Compiles the application file with all of its code objects and creates an .fmx runfile. c) Oracle Forms Run form:- Form operators use this runform to run ready Oracle Forms applications. Apart from the above components, there exist three types of modules, which are forms, menus and libraries. By the integration of these modules, complete applications could be built.

Graphs: A graph is a form of information representation, which can

visually display lot of information in a compact form. A graph is a mechanism that allows organization staff to visually analyze information on-line. Using graphs data can be retrieved from a variety of sources and displayed using charts, line drawing, bitmapped images etc.

Query: A query is a set of instructions that you can use for working with

data. We run a query to perform these instructions such as create, copy, delete, or change data etc.
 To query data from tables in a database, we use the SELECT

statement.
 The SELECT statement has many options that one can use to

retrieve the data according to the requirements.

SQL: The full form of the SQL is Structured Query Language.  SQL is the standard command set that allows the users to interact

with the relational database management systems.

 All task related to relational database management such creating

tables, querying the database for information, modifying the data in the database, deleting them, granting access to users and so on can be easily performed using SQL.

SQL statements can broadly be classified into the following categories:
 Data Definition Language (DDL)  Data Manipulation Language (DML)  Data Control Language (DCL)

Data Definition Language (DDL) : DDL supports the definition or declaration of database object.  The definition includes the creation, alteration and deletion of

objects like tables and views.

 In creating tables the column definitions and constraints on the

table column are defined while in creating views a query is attached with views definition.
 DDL statements are generally used by DBA or DBA staff

members.

Data Manipulation Language (DML) : DML supports the manipulation or processing of database object.  DML commands are used to directly change values in the data

tables.
 For manipulating the contents of database three simple commands

are provided in SQL : INSERT is used to place rows in the database; DELETE to remove them; and UPDATE to change the values in rows that already exist in the database.
 With INSERT, queries can be used to put the entire set of rows

into a table at once from some other table.

Data Control Language (DCL): The DCL commands control the user access to the database

objects.
 Thus, DCL is mainly related to the security issues, that is,

determining who has access to the database objects and what operations they can perform on them.
 The DCL is responsible for preventing unauthorized access to

data.
 The DBA has the authority to give and take the privileges to a

specific user.

Blocks and Items:There are two different types of Oracle Forms objects: blocks and items. Items are through which users interact with your application. They are the interface objects. Sample objects for items could be listed as buttons, check boxes, radio groups, list items, text items, display items, image items etc. Items belong to blocks, which are the containers and logical grouping of items. There are also set of properties associated with blocks and these properties control how the user interacts with the application. The relationship between forms, blocks and items is that a form can contain any number of blocks and a block can contain any number of items.
