Oracle Sequence: What is Oracle Sequence in Database?
A sequence is a database object that generates numbers in sequential order. Applications most often use these numbers when they require a unique value in a table such as primary key values. Some database management systems use an “auto number” concept or “auto increment” setting on numeric column types. Both the auto numbering columns and sequences provide a unique number in sequence used for a unique identifier. [Read more…] about Oracle Sequence: What is Oracle Sequence in Database?
What is SQL?
SQL (Standard Query Language) is a language for manipulating databases developed in the 70s by IBM. All data management systems use SQL to access data or to communicate with a data server. RDBMS is the core platform for SQL, and for all other modern database languages such as Oracle, MS SQL Server, IBM DB2, MySQL, and Microsoft Access, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Firebird, and many more. SQL (Standard Query Language) is born as a result of the mathematical work of Codd, who founded the work of relational databases, three types of manipulations on the database: [Read more…] about What is SQL?
