How flexible is ORACLE in retrieving information for the user?
One of the main determinants in ORACLE’S flexibility in retrieving information is in its use of SQL. Because communication between the database and its users is comparatively quick and easy due to SQL, the order of records in all tables becomes unimportant and all are stored in sequential order of their entry. ORACLE is also flexible in the way it lets users view information held within its tables. One main function of all relational databases is to answer queries. The ability to retrieve information from one or more tables is critical to this function and ORACLE is designed with many features to make information storage and retrieval easier for all users.
