| What Is an Oracle Relational Database
This website describes a database, and its fields and records.It
illustrates the layout of an Oracle database table and it explains how
primary keys keep the records unique. It also explains the concepts of a
relational database and a foreign key. |
| Some faculties and departments are already using Oracle applications in their day-to-day operations. As time goes by, more and more information users will be working with an application based on Oracle database technology. If anyone gets the opportunity to be a member of an application development team, he or she will become familiar with the workings of Oracle and relational databases. Other users may have to learn about this database management system through their own experience. This website is for readers who, as of yet, have no access to Oracle databases but have a yearning for learning what they're all about.

| What Is an Oracle Relational Database?
This site gives a great example about how an RDBMS is used. While the
author made use of the names from the cartoon ""The Flintstones, it was
not only simple to compare how the two tables were provided and linked but
it was a bit entertaining. I recommend that anyone studying how RDBMS
works should visit this site. It's a short example and therefore easy on
the eyes and brain. |

| This website is focused on databases for Linux. It has good information about SQL databases and it is interesting to read the author's comments about the SQL problems. |
| This site has information about relational database systems, primarily dealing with those database systems available under Linux.
|
| THis website provides enough information to the starters.The main falvour of this web site is that it dela swith RDBMS in Linux environment. |
| It is benificial |
| This is a very good cite explaining about the basic RDBMS information.It gives many web referneces for to know and also mentions about few books to be followed. |

http://www.palslib.com/Fundamentals/Introductions.html |
| It is very comprehensive online information library with original research papers from the first RDMS originator (and from others in the field) about the orgin and evolution of RDMS and other database sytems. Various aspects of databases' structure, architecture, languages, fundamentals and rules about RDMS and other databases are diescussed. It also gives information about different platforms and interfaces for various dbms languages and discusses the future development of object oriented RDMS. |

| I recommend this website not only for quiz review, but also as a great way to start of with using SQL commands. Here you have examples of how to use the commands, a brief description of what they do and out puts they produce. One of the most important things to do before starting is to make a diagram of what your database will look like. It is also important to know that in order to fill up the database with information it is very important that you create an adequate table. This website will guide you step by step on how to construct your table. Creating any table is not that easy because you have to figure out your datatype, how many character you will need (size, or syntax), and how to insert primary and foreign keys. After you have created your table, then you can begin to fill it in with data. Other feasible information include instructions on how to insert data into a table, delete records, drop a table from a database, and how to select data from a database. |

| I enjoyed visiting this site. It is directed towards to Linux rather than given a general overview about RDMS. Which based on previous information and class discussion, most RDBMS are somewhat similiar. This website is very informative. It provides a littel bit more that class lectures. |

| I do recommend this site to all my fellow classmates. Apart from providing the RDMS basics, the essay provides the reader with the challenges and advantages of this approach. Possible alternatives to the RDMS technology are also provided in the essay in addition to references.
|
| The web site is an informative resource which explains not only the basics of RDBMS, but also various complex issues associated with it. It uses a number of flow charts and diagrams to visualize the concepts and provides worked out examples to demonstrate RDBMS tools and their usage.

http://oracle.oreilly.com/news/oraclenet8_1200.html |
| This web site helps introduce the idea of dynamic web sites. Of course this talks only about oracle, but I think what is important of this article is the fact of being able to use a central database for link definition in web pages and have all pages of a corporation refer to this information to reflect the link. This allows for easy update throught out the entire site and easy link organization. After all, isnt'it annoying to have a web site with a broken link? |
