Oracle is a database management system (DBMS). As such it not only maintains the database tables, but also comes with a number of utilities to use the database. The Oracle DBMS we will be using in this unit is stored on a Unix machine called redstart.
In the labs we will be using an Oracle utility called SQL
Developer. This uses a GUI and connects directly to the database
to execute your queries.
