- 23. ORACLE vs MySQL Programming Abstractions Virtual SQL language structures as views and synonyms. Assessment Product Grade MySQL Poor Oracle Very good 3-Sep-12 23
- 24. ORACLE vs MySQL Programming Abstractions Views: A view is a tailored presentation of the data contained in one or more tables (or other views). A view takes the output of a query and treats it as a table; therefore, a view can be thought of as a "stored query" or a "virtual table". It should be possible to use views in 3-Sep-12 24
- 25. ORACLE vs MySQL Programming Abstractions Updateable views: Updateable view is a view which can be used in DML (Data Manipulation Language) statements for modification of the data. MySQL :No.But updateable VIEWs based on single table or other updateable VIEWs available from MySql 5.0.1 release. 3-Sep-12 25
- 26. ORACLE vs MySQL Programming Abstractions Synonyms A synonym is an alias for any table, view or other object in database. MySQL :No. Oracle :Yes. 3-Sep-12 26
- 27. ORACLE vs MySQL Default Values For Columns: • In MySQL, for a column that does not allow NULL value and for which no data is provided for the column when data is inserted into the table, MySQL determines a default value for the column. • This default value is the implicit default value for the column data type. 3-Sep-12 27
- 28. ORACLE vs MySQL Default Values For Columns: • In Oracle, when data is inserted into a table, data must be provided for all columns that do not allow NULL value. • Oracle does not generate a default value for columns that have the NOT NULL constraint. 3-Sep-12 28
- 29. ORACLE vs MySQL Triggers: • Triggers are stored procedures that automatically execute when a database event occurs or a table event occurs. • Database events that fire triggers include system startup and shutdown, object creation, and user logins and logouts. • Table events: insertion, update, or 3-Sep-12 29
- 30. ORACLE vs MySQL Triggers: • Oracle fires triggers for both database-level and table-level events. • MySQL does not support stored procedures, it also does not support triggers. 3-Sep-12 30
- 31. ORACLE vs MySQL Triggers: • Missing trigger capability is a major shortcoming of MySQL. • Database administrators rely heavily on database-level triggers to monitor database events. • Application developers utilize table-level triggers extensively to ensure that data meets the business requirements. 3-Sep-12 31
- 32. ORACLE vs MySQL Security: • Database security is a very important aspect of any database management system to protect access to the database operations and the data. 3-Sep-12 32
- 33. ORACLE vs MySQL Security: • Oracle implements security for both users and roles. • Roles provide a method of granting privileges to many users with a single GRANT statement, or revoking privileges from many users with a single REVOKE statement. 3-Sep-12 33
- 34. ORACLE vs MySQL Security: • MySQL uses the user name and host to lookup the user’s privileges in the system tables. • The user table stores database- level privileges to the user, and other tables maintain object-level privileges. • An administrator creates users by issuing GRANT statements, or by 3-Sep-12 34
- 35. ORACLE vs MySQL Security: • MySQL does not use roles or groups to grant and revoke privileges to multiple users in individual statements. • The absence of database roles is another major drawback of MySQL. • Without the ability to group users into roles, the database administrator will have do on 3-Sep-12 35
- 36. ORACLE vs MySQL Replication: • Replicating data is the process of copying data, synchronously or asynchronously, from one database into another database. • Oracle supports two-way replication whereas MySQL supports only one-way replication from the master to the replica by applying transaction log files to 3-Sep-12 36
- 37. ORACLE vs MySQL Auditing: • Oracle provides an auditing facility to track individual users, database statements, and object statements. • MySQL does not provide auditing capabilities. 3-Sep-12 37
- 38. ORACLE vs MySQL Administration: • Oracle provides for both hot and cold backups, and includes the Recovery Manager (RMAN) utility to facilitate the backup process. • Since MySQL stores data in operating system files, administrators perform cold backups by simply copying the files. 3-Sep-12 38
- 39. CONCLUSION • Oracle and MySQL perform at similar levels in tests of response times and throughput. • But Oracle provides database clustering to achieve improved scalability and throughput, and MySQL does not provide clustering. 3-Sep-12 39
Editor's Notes
- #30: Triggers firing before the operation can modify the values specified in the insert or update statement.In addition, triggers can fire once for every row affected, or only one time to process all rows affected by the insert, update, or delete statement.
