Privileges
Database security: System security Data security
System privileges: Gaining access to the database Object privileges: Manipulating the content of the
database objects Schemas: Collection of objects such as tables,
views, and sequences
1-5 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
System Privileges
More than 100 privileges are available. The database administrator has high-level system
privileges for tasks such as: Creating new users Removing users Removing tables Backing up tables
1-6 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating Users
The DBA creates users with the CREATE USERstatement.
CREATE USER HRIDENTIFIED BY HR;User created.
CREATE USER userIDENTIFIED BY password;
1-7 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
User System Privileges
After a user is created, the DBA can grant specific system privileges to that user.
An application developer, for example, may have the following system privileges: CREATE SESSION CREATE TABLE CREATE SEQUENCE CREATE VIEW CREATE PROCEDURE
GRANT privilege [, privilege...]TO user [, user| role, PUBLIC...];
1-8 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Granting System Privileges
The DBA can grant specific system privileges to a user.GRANT create session, create table,
create sequence, create viewTO hr;Grant succeeded.

Revoking Object Privileges
You use the REVOKE statement to revoke privileges granted to other users.
Privileges granted to others through the WITH GRANT OPTION clause are also revoked.
REVOKE {privilege [, privilege...]|ALL}ON objectFROM {user[, user...]|role|PUBLIC}[CASCADE CONSTRAINTS];
1-19 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Revoking Object Privileges
As user Alice, revoke the SELECT and INSERTprivileges given to user Scott on the DEPARTMENTStable.REVOKE select, insertON departmentsFROM scott;Revoke succeeded.

Summary
In this lesson, you should have learned about statements that control access to the database and database objects.
Statement ActionCREATE USER Creates a user (usually performed by a DBA)GRANT Gives other users privileges to access the
objectsCREATE ROLE Creates a collection of privileges (usually
performed by a DBA)ALTER USER Changes a users passwordREVOKE Removes privileges on an object from users
1-21 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Practice 1: Overview
This practice covers the following topics: Granting other users privileges to your table Modifying another users table through the
privileges granted to you Creating a synonym Querying the data dictionary views related to
privileges
Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Using DDL Statementsto Create and Manage Tables
1-23 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Objectives
After completing this lesson, you should be able to do the following: Categorize the main database objects Review the table structure List the data types that are available for columns Create a simple table Understand how constraints are created at the
time of table creation Describe how schema objects work
1-24 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Database Objects
Object DescriptionTable Basic unit of storage; composed of rows View Logically represents subsets of data from
one or more tables Sequence Generates numeric valuesIndex Improves the performance of some
queriesSynonym Gives alternative names to objects
1-25 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Naming Rules
Table names and column names: Must begin with a letter Must be 130 characters long Must contain only AZ, az, 09, _, $, and # Must not duplicate the name of another object
owned by the same user Must not be an Oracle server reserved word
1-26 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
You must have: CREATE TABLE privilege A storage area
You specify: Table name Column name, column data type, and column size
CREATE TABLE Statement
CREATE TABLE [schema.]table(column datatype [DEFAULT expr][, ...]);
1-27 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Referencing Another Users Tables
Tables belonging to other users are not in the users schema.
You should use the owners name as a prefix to those tables.
USERBUSERASELECT * FROM userB.employees;
SELECT * FROM userA.employees;
1-28 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Specify a default value for a column during an insert.
Literal values, expressions, or SQL functions are legal values.
Another columns name or a pseudocolumn are illegal values.
The default data type must match the column data type.
DEFAULT Option
... hire_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE, ...
CREATE TABLE hire_dates(id NUMBER(8),hire_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE);
Table created.
1-29 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating Tables
Create the table.
Confirm table creation.DESCRIBE dept
CREATE TABLE dept(deptno NUMBER(2),dname VARCHAR2(14),loc VARCHAR2(13),create_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE);
Table created.
1-30 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Data Types
Data Type DescriptionVARCHAR2(size) Variable-length character dataCHAR(size) Fixed-length character dataNUMBER(p,s) Variable-length numeric dataDATE Date and time valuesLONG Variable-length character data (up to 2 GB)CLOB Character data (up to 4 GB)RAW and LONG RAW
Raw binary data
BLOB Binary data (up to 4 GB)BFILE Binary data stored in an external file (up to 4 GB)ROWID A base-64 number system representing the unique
address of a row in its table
1-31 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Datetime Data Types
You can use several datetime data types:Data Type DescriptionTIMESTAMP Date with fractional secondsINTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
Stored as an interval of yearsand months
INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND
Stored as an interval of days, hours, minutes, and seconds
1-32 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Datetime Data Types
The TIMESTAMP data type is an extension of the DATE data type.
It stores the year, month, and day of the DATE data type plus hour, minute, and second values as well as the fractional second value.
You can optionally specify the time zone.TIMESTAMP[(fractional_seconds_precision)]
TIMESTAMP[(fractional_seconds_precision)]WITH TIME ZONE
TIMESTAMP[(fractional_seconds_precision)]WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE
1-33 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Datetime Data Types
The INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH data type stores a period of time using the YEAR and MONTH datetime fields:
The INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND data type stores a period of time in terms of days, hours, minutes, and seconds:
INTERVAL YEAR [(year_precision)] TO MONTH
INTERVAL DAY [(day_precision)] TO SECOND [(fractional_seconds_precision)]
1-34 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND Data Type
INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND stores a period of time in terms of days, hours, minutes, and seconds.INTERVAL '4 5:12:10.222' DAY TO SECOND(3)Indicates 4 days, 5 hours, 12 minutes, 10 seconds, and 222 thousandths of a second.
INTERVAL '4 5:12' DAY TO MINUTEIndicates 4 days, 5 hours and 12 minutes.
INTERVAL '400 5' DAY(3) TO HOURIndicates 400 days 5 hours.
INTERVAL '11:12:10.2222222' HOUR TO SECOND(7)indicates 11 hours, 12 minutes, and 10.2222222 seconds.

Including Constraints
Constraints enforce rules at the table level. Constraints prevent the deletion of a table if there
are dependencies. The following constraint types are valid:
NOT NULL UNIQUE PRIMARY KEY FOREIGN KEY CHECK
1-36 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Constraint Guidelines
You can name a constraint, or the Oracle server generates a name by using the SYS_Cn format.
Create a constraint at either of the following times: At the same time as the table is created After the table has been created
Define a constraint at the column or table level. View a constraint in the data dictionary.
1-37 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Defining Constraints
Syntax:
Column-level constraint:
Table-level constraint:
CREATE TABLE [schema.]table(column datatype [DEFAULT expr][column_constraint],...[table_constraint][,...]);
column,...[CONSTRAINT constraint_name] constraint_type(column, ...),
column [CONSTRAINT constraint_name] constraint_type,
1-38 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Defining Constraints
Column-level constraint:
Table-level constraint:
CREATE TABLE employees(employee_id NUMBER(6)CONSTRAINT emp_emp_id_pk PRIMARY KEY,
first_name VARCHAR2(20),...);
CREATE TABLE employees(employee_id NUMBER(6),first_name VARCHAR2(20),...job_id VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,CONSTRAINT emp_emp_id_pk PRIMARY KEY (EMPLOYEE_ID));

Table created.
Creating a Tableby Using a Subquery
DESCRIBE dept80
1-52 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
ALTER TABLE Statement
Use the ALTER TABLE statement to: Add a new column Modify an existing column Define a default value for the new column Drop a column
1-53 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Dropping a Table
All data and structure in the table are deleted. Any pending transactions are committed. All indexes are dropped. All constraints are dropped. You cannot roll back the DROP TABLE statement.DROP TABLE dept80;Table dropped.
1-54 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Summary
In this lesson, you should have learned how to use the CREATE TABLE statement to create a table and include constraints. Categorize the main database objects Review the table structure List the data types that are available for columns Create a simple table Understand how constraints are created at the
time of table creation Describe how schema objects work
1-55 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Practice 9: Overview
This practice covers the following topics: Creating new tables Creating a new table by using the CREATE TABLE
AS syntax Verifying that tables exist Dropping tables
Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Manage Schema Objects
1-57 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Objectives
After completing this lesson, you should be able to do the following: Add constraints Create indexes Create and manage indexes Creating function-based indexes Drop columns and set column UNUSED Perform FLASHBACK operations Create and use external tables
1-58 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
The ALTER TABLE Statement
Use the ALTER TABLE statement to: Add a new column Modify an existing column Define a default value for the new column Drop a column
1-59 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
The ALTER TABLE Statement
Use the ALTER TABLE statement to add, modify, or drop columns.ALTER TABLE tableADD (column datatype [DEFAULT expr]
[, column datatype]...);
ALTER TABLE tableMODIFY (column datatype [DEFAULT expr]
[, column datatype]...);
ALTER TABLE tableDROP (column);
1-60 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Adding a Column
You use the ADD clause to add columns.
The new column becomes the last column.
ALTER TABLE dept80ADD (job_id VARCHAR2(9));Table altered.
1-61 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Modifying a Column
You can change a columns data type, size, and default value.
A change to the default value affects only subsequent insertions to the table.
ALTER TABLE dept80MODIFY (last_name VARCHAR2(30));Table altered.
1-62 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Dropping a Column
Use the DROP COLUMN clause to drop columns you no longer need from the table.ALTER TABLE dept80DROP COLUMN job_id; Table altered.
1-63 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
ALTER TABLE SET UNUSED();
ALTER TABLE SET UNUSED COLUMN ;
The SET UNUSED Option
You use the SET UNUSED option to mark one or more columns as unused.
You use the DROP UNUSED COLUMNS option to remove the columns that are marked as unused.
OR
ALTER TABLE DROP UNUSED COLUMNS;
1-64 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Adding a Constraint Syntax
Use the ALTER TABLE statement to: Add or drop a constraint, but not modify its
structure Enable or disable constraints Add a NOT NULL constraint by using the MODIFY
clauseALTER TABLE ADD [CONSTRAINT ] type ();
1-65 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
ALTER TABLE emp2modify employee_id Primary Key;Table altered.
Adding a Constraint
Add a FOREIGN KEY constraint to the EMP2 table indicating that a manager must already exist as a valid employee in the EMP2 table.
ALTER TABLE emp2ADD CONSTRAINT emp_mgr_fk FOREIGN KEY(manager_id) REFERENCES emp2(employee_id);
Table altered.
1-66 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
ON DELETE CASCADE
Delete child rows when a parent key is deleted.ALTER TABLE Emp2 ADD CONSTRAINT emp_dt_fk FOREIGN KEY (Department_id) REFERENCES departments ON DELETE CASCADE); Table altered.
1-67 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Deferring Constraints
Constraints can have the following attributes: DEFERRABLE or NOT DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED or INITIALLY IMMEDIATEALTER TABLE dept2ADD CONSTRAINT dept2_id_pk PRIMARY KEY (department_id)DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED
ALTER SESSION SET CONSTRAINTS= IMMEDIATE
SET CONSTRAINTS dept2_id_pk IMMEDIATE
Deferring constraint on creation
Changing all constraints for a session
Changing a specific constraint attribute
1-68 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Dropping a Constraint
Remove the manager constraint from the EMP2table.
Remove the PRIMARY KEY constraint on the DEPT2 table and drop the associated FOREIGN KEY constraint on the EMP2.DEPARTMENT_IDcolumn.
ALTER TABLE emp2DROP CONSTRAINT emp_mgr_fk;Table altered.
ALTER TABLE dept2DROP PRIMARY KEY CASCADE;Table altered.
1-69 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Disabling Constraints
Execute the DISABLE clause of the ALTER TABLEstatement to deactivate an integrity constraint.
Apply the CASCADE option to disable dependent integrity constraints.
ALTER TABLE emp2DISABLE CONSTRAINT emp_dt_fk;Table altered.
1-70 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Enabling Constraints
Activate an integrity constraint currently disabled in the table definition by using the ENABLE clause.
A UNIQUE index is automatically created if you enable a UNIQUE key or PRIMARY KEY constraint.
ALTER TABLE emp2ENABLE CONSTRAINT emp_dt_fk;Table altered.
1-71 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Cascading Constraints
The CASCADE CONSTRAINTS clause is used along with the DROP COLUMN clause.
The CASCADE CONSTRAINTS clause drops all referential integrity constraints that refer to the primary and unique keys defined on the dropped columns.
The CASCADE CONSTRAINTS clause also drops all multicolumn constraints defined on the dropped columns.
1-72 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Cascading Constraints
Example:ALTER TABLE emp2 DROP COLUMN employee_id CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;Table altered.
ALTER TABLE test1DROP (pk, fk, col1) CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;Table altered.
1-73 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Indexes
An index: Is a schema object Is used by the Oracle server to speed up the
retrieval of rows by using a pointer Can reduce disk I/O by using a rapid path access
method to locate data quickly Is independent of the table that it indexes Is used and maintained automatically by the
Oracle server
1-74 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
How Are Indexes Created?
Automatically: A unique index is created automatically when you define a PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint in a table definition.
Manually: Users can create nonunique indexes on columns to speed up access to the rows.
1-75 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Overview of Indexes
Indexes are created: Automatically
PRIMARY KEY creation UNIQUE KEY creation
Manually CREATE INDEX statement CREATE TABLE statement
1-76 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating an Index
Create an index on one or more columns:
Improve the speed of query access to the LAST_NAME column in the EMPLOYEES table:
CREATE INDEX emp_last_name_idxON employees(last_name);Index created.
CREATE INDEX indexON table (column[, column]...);
1-77 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Index Creation Guidelines
Create an index when:!!!! A column contains a wide range of values!!!! A column contains a large number of null values!!!! One or more columns are frequently used together in a WHERE
clause or a join condition!!!! The table is large and most queries are expected to retrieve less
than 2% to 4% of the rows in the tableDo not create an index when:"""" The columns are not often used as a condition in the query
"""" The table is small or most queries are expected to retrieve more than 2% to 4% of the rows in the table
"""" The table is updated frequently
"""" The indexed columns are referenced as part of an expression
1-78 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
CREATE INDEX with CREATE TABLEStatement
CREATE TABLE NEW_EMP(employee_id NUMBER(6)
PRIMARY KEY USING INDEX(CREATE INDEX emp_id_idx ONNEW_EMP(employee_id)),
first_name VARCHAR2(20),last_name VARCHAR2(25));Table created.
SELECT INDEX_NAME, TABLE_NAME FROM USER_INDEXESWHERE TABLE_NAME = 'NEW_EMP';
1-79 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
CREATE INDEX upper_dept_name_idxON dept2(UPPER(department_name));
Index created.
SELECT *FROM dept2WHERE UPPER(department_name) = 'SALES';
Function-Based Indexes
A function-based index is based on expressions. The index expression is built from table columns,
constants, SQL functions, and user-defined functions.
1-80 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Removing an Index
Remove an index from the data dictionary by using the DROP INDEX command:
Remove the UPPER_LAST_NAME_IDX index from the data dictionary:
To drop an index, you must be the owner of the index or have the DROP ANY INDEX privilege.
DROP INDEX emp_last_name_idx;Index dropped.
DROP INDEX index;
1-81 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
DROP TABLE PURGE
DROP TABLE dept80 PURGE;
1-82 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
The FLASHBACK TABLE Statement
Repair tool for accidental table modifications Restores a table to an earlier point in time Benefits: Ease of use, availability, fast execution Performed in place
Syntax:
FLASHBACK TABLE[schema.]table[,[ schema.]table ]...TO { TIMESTAMP | SCN } expr[ { ENABLE | DISABLE } TRIGGERS ];
1-83 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
The FLASHBACK TABLE Statement
DROP TABLE emp2;Table dropped
FLASHBACK TABLE emp2 TO BEFORE DROP;Flashback complete
SELECT original_name, operation, droptime, FROM recyclebin;
1-84 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
External Tables
1-85 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating a Directory for the External Table
Create a DIRECTORY object that corresponds to the directory on the file system where the external data source resides.
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY emp_dir AS '//emp_dir';
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY emp_dir TO hr;
1-86 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating an External Table
CREATE TABLE ( , )
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (TYPE DEFAULT DIRECTORY ACCESS PARAMETERS ( ) ) LOCATION ('') )
REJECT LIMIT [0 | | UNLIMITED];

Simple Views and Complex Views
Feature Simple Views Complex ViewsNumber of tables One One or moreContain functions No YesContain groups of data No YesDML operations through a view
Yes Not always
1-97 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating a View
You embed a subquery in the CREATE VIEWstatement:
The subquery can contain complex SELECTsyntax.
CREATE [OR REPLACE] [FORCE|NOFORCE] VIEW view[(alias[, alias]...)]
AS subquery[WITH CHECK OPTION [CONSTRAINT constraint]][WITH READ ONLY [CONSTRAINT constraint]];
1-98 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating a View
Create the EMPVU80 view, which contains details of employees in department 80:
Describe the structure of the view by using the SQL*Plus DESCRIBE command:
DESCRIBE empvu80
CREATE VIEW empvu80AS SELECT employee_id, last_name, salary
FROM employeesWHERE department_id = 80;
View created.
1-99 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating a View
Create a view by using column aliases in the subquery:
Select the columns from this view by the given alias names:
CREATE VIEW salvu50AS SELECT employee_id ID_NUMBER, last_name NAME,
salary*12 ANN_SALARYFROM employeesWHERE department_id = 50;
View created.

Modifying a View
Modify the EMPVU80 view by using a CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW clause. Add an alias for each column name:
Column aliases in the CREATE OR REPLACE VIEWclause are listed in the same order as the columns in the subquery.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW empvu80(id_number, name, sal, department_id)
AS SELECT employee_id, first_name || ' ' || last_name, salary, department_id
FROM employeesWHERE department_id = 80;
View created.
1-102 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating a Complex View
Create a complex view that contains group functions to display values from two tables:CREATE VIEW dept_sum_vu
(name, minsal, maxsal, avgsal)AS SELECT d.department_name, MIN(e.salary),
MAX(e.salary),AVG(e.salary)FROM employees e, departments dWHERE e.department_id = d.department_id GROUP BY d.department_name;
View created.

Rules for Performing DML Operations on a View
You can usually perform DML operationson simple views.
You cannot remove a row if the view contains the following: Group functions A GROUP BY clause The DISTINCT keyword The pseudocolumn ROWNUM keyword

Rules for Performing DML Operations on a View
You cannot modify data in a view if it contains: Group functions A GROUP BY clause The DISTINCT keyword The pseudocolumn ROWNUM keyword Columns defined by expressions

Rules for Performing DML Operations on a View
You cannot add data through a view if the view includes: Group functions A GROUP BY clause The DISTINCT keyword The pseudocolumn ROWNUM keyword Columns defined by expressions NOT NULL columns in the base tables that are not
selected by the view
1-106 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Using the WITH CHECK OPTION Clause
You can ensure that DML operations performed on the view stay in the domain of the view by using the WITH CHECK OPTION clause:
Any attempt to change the department number for any row in the view fails because it violates the WITH CHECK OPTION constraint.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW empvu20AS SELECT *
FROM employeesWHERE department_id = 20WITH CHECK OPTION CONSTRAINT empvu20_ck ;
View created.
1-107 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Denying DML Operations
You can ensure that no DML operations occur by adding the WITH READ ONLY option to your view definition.
Any attempt to perform a DML operation on any row in the view results in an Oracle server error.
1-108 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW empvu10(employee_number, employee_name, job_title)
AS SELECT employee_id, last_name, job_idFROM employeesWHERE department_id = 10WITH READ ONLY ;
View created.

Removing a View
You can remove a view without losing data because a view is based on underlying tables in the database.DROP VIEW view;
DROP VIEW empvu80;View dropped.

Sequences
Object Description
Table Basic unit of storage; composed of rows View Logically represents subsets of data from
one or more tablesSequence Generates numeric valuesIndex Improves the performance of some
queriesSynonym Gives alternative names to objects
1-112 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Sequences
A sequence: Can automatically generate unique numbers Is a sharable object Can be used to create a primary key value Replaces application code Speeds up the efficiency of accessing sequence
values when cached in memory

CREATE SEQUENCE Statement:Syntax
Define a sequence to generate sequential numbers automatically:CREATE SEQUENCE sequence
[INCREMENT BY n][START WITH n][{MAXVALUE n | NOMAXVALUE}][{MINVALUE n | NOMINVALUE}][{CYCLE | NOCYCLE}][{CACHE n | NOCACHE}];
1-114 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating a Sequence
Create a sequence named DEPT_DEPTID_SEQ to be used for the primary key of the DEPARTMENTStable.
Do not use the CYCLE option.CREATE SEQUENCE dept_deptid_seq
INCREMENT BY 10START WITH 120MAXVALUE 9999NOCACHENOCYCLE;
Sequence created.
1-115 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
NEXTVAL and CURRVAL Pseudocolumns
NEXTVAL returns the next available sequence value. It returns a unique value every time it is referenced, even for different users.
CURRVAL obtains the current sequence value. NEXTVAL must be issued for that sequence before
CURRVAL contains a value.
1-116 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Using a Sequence
Insert a new department named Support in location ID 2500:
View the current value for the DEPT_DEPTID_SEQsequence:
INSERT INTO departments(department_id, department_name, location_id)
VALUES (dept_deptid_seq.NEXTVAL, 'Support', 2500);
1 row created.
SELECT dept_deptid_seq.CURRVALFROM dual;
1-117 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Caching Sequence Values
Caching sequence values in memory gives faster access to those values.
Gaps in sequence values can occur when: A rollback occurs The system crashes A sequence is used in another table
1-118 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Modifying a Sequence
Change the increment value, maximum value, minimum value, cycle option, or cache option:
ALTER SEQUENCE dept_deptid_seqINCREMENT BY 20MAXVALUE 999999NOCACHENOCYCLE;
Sequence altered.
1-119 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Guidelines for Modifying a Sequence
You must be the owner or have the ALTERprivilege for the sequence.
Only future sequence numbers are affected. The sequence must be dropped and
re-created to restart the sequence at a different number.
Some validation is performed. To remove a sequence, use the DROP statement:DROP SEQUENCE dept_deptid_seq;Sequence dropped.

Synonyms
Object Description
Table Basic unit of storage; composed of rows View Logically represents subsets of data from
one or more tablesSequence Generates numeric valuesIndex Improves the performance of some
queriesSynonym Gives alternative names to objects
1-121 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Synonyms
Simplify access to objects by creating a synonym (another name for an object). With synonyms, you can: Create an easier reference to a table that is owned
by another user Shorten lengthy object namesCREATE [PUBLIC] SYNONYM synonymFOR object;
1-122 Copyright 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Creating and Removing Synonyms
Create a shortened name for the DEPT_SUM_VU view:
Drop a synonym:
CREATE SYNONYM d_sumFOR dept_sum_vu;Synonym Created.
DROP SYNONYM d_sum;Synonym dropped.

Summary
In this lesson, you should have learned how to: Create, use, and remove views Automatically generate sequence numbers by
using a sequence generator Create indexes to improve query retrieval speed Use synonyms to provide alternative names for
objects
