NCHAR

(length) Unicode-only data type. When you create a table with this type of column, you define the column length in characters.

NVARCHAR2

(size [BYTE|CHAR]) Unicode-only data type. Like NCHAR except that its maximum length is 4,000 bytes and it is not blank-padded.

RAW

(size) Raw binary data of length size bytes. The maximum size is 2,000 bytes. You must specify the size.

PRIMARY Key

Each table in the database can have at most one. The values in the group of one or more columns that are subject to this constraint constitute the unique identifier of the row. Does not allow nulls and no two rows have duplicate values in the column or set of columns

INTEGER

Equivalent to NUMBER (p,0)

CHAR

Fixed-length character data of size bytes or characters.

single-byte

For ________ character sets, columns that are defined in character semantics are basically the same as those defined in byte semantics.

unique indexes

For nondeferrable constraints the primary key and unique key constraints need _________, but if they already have a non-________, that index will be used.

ENABLE VALIDATE

Both new and existing data conform to the constraint. This is the typical and default state of a constraint.

LONG

Character data of variable length of up to 2 GB. This is a deprecated data type. Use LOB instead.

NCLOB

Character large object containing Unicode characters.

CLOB

Character large object containing single-byte or multiple-byte or multibyte characters. Both fixed-width and variable-width character sets are supported and both use the CHAR database character set.

BFILE

Contains a locator to a large binary file stored outside the database. it enables byte stream I/O access to external LOBs residing on the database server. Max size is 4GB

SYSTEM schema

Contains additional tables and views that store administrative information.

same

Deferred constraints are most useful when both the parent and child rows in a foreign key relationship are entered at the ________ time.

automatically

During a complete installation of an Oracle database, sample schemas are installed _________.

LONG RAW

schema objects

logical structures that directly refer to a database's data including structures such as tables, views and indexes.

4000 bytes

maximum size for VARCHAR2.

ENABLE NOVALIDATE

new data conforms to the constraint, but existing data is in an unknown state. Frequently used when it is known that clean and conforming data exists in the table so there is no need for validation. However, new violations are not allowed to enter the system.

constraint violation

occurs when DML is submitted that does not comply with the constraint.

indexes

optional structures associated with tables that can be created to improve the performance of data update and retrieval.

view

representations of queries of data from one or more tables or other things like it.

NOT NULL

requires that a column of a table must contain no no null values.

Check constraints

requires that a specified condition be true or unknown for every row of the table.

UNIQUE Key

requires that every value in a column or set of columns be unique.

Referential integrity constraints

requires that for each row of a table, the value in the foreign key must match a value in a parent key.

interlinked

nondeferrable

A constraint that is defined as ________ cannot be changed to a deferrable constraint.

single

A schema does not necessarily have to be directly related to a _________ tablespace.

owns

A schema has the same name as the user that _______ the schema.

FLOAT

ANSI data type. It is a floating-point number with a binary precision (p). The default precision for this data type is 126 binary or 38 decimal.

Cycle Values

After an ascending sequence reaches its maximum value, it generates its minimum value. After a descending sequence reaches its minimum, it generates its maximum value.

Uniqueness

An attempt is made to have duplicate values in a column that has a unique constraint.

Check violation

An attempt is made to store a value in a column that does not follow the rules defined for that column.

UROWID

Base-64 string representing the logical address of a row of an index-organized table.

ROWID

Base-64 string representing the unique address of a row in the database. This data type is primarly for values returned by the ROWID pseudocolumn.

BLOB

Binary large object

Order Values

Guarantees that sequence numbers are generated in the order of request.

IMMEDIATE

If a DML statement results in the condition of a constraint evaluating to false, the statement is rolled back if the constraint is __________.

DISABLE VALIDATE

If a constrain is in this state, modification of the constrained columns is not allowed because it would be inconsistent to validate the existing data and allow unchecked data to enter the table. Used when existing data must be validated but not modified and when the index is not otherwise needed for performance.

commit time

If constraint violations are detected at ________, the entire transaction is rolled back.

DEFERRED

If the constraint is deferrable and is set to ________ , rollback occurs at commit rather than at DML execution.

caching

If you are not _______ the sequence is in order by default.

2000

Maximum size of CHAR datatype is _______ bytes or characters.

1 byte

Minimum (and default) size of CHAR datatype

DISABLE NOVALIDATE

Often used when the data is from an already validated source and the table is read-only, so no new data is being entered into the table. Used in data warehousing situations where the data has already been cleaned up. No validation is needed, thereby saving time.

a specification for deferrable constraints that specifies that by default the constraint must be enforced only at the end of the transaction.

Nondeferred constraints

also known as immediate constraints are enforced at the end of every DML statement.

Deferred constraints

are constraints that are checked only when a transaction is committed.

non-unique

for deferred constraints, primary key and unique keys need ________ indexes, if the columns already have a unique index on them, constraint creation fails because those indexes cannot be deferred.
