Where do we start? One of the problems in comprehending a massive product such as the Oracle database is the difficulty of getting a good sense of how the product works without getting lost in the details of implementing specific solutions. This book aims to solve this problem by giving you a thorough grounding in the concepts and technologies that form the foundation of Oracle's technology products: the Database Server (currently Oracle9i) and the Application Server (Oracle9iAS). Oracle is also a provider of business applications, popularly named the "E-Business Suite"; discussion of those applications is outside the scope of this book, although we do touch on how technology components are being leveraged in linking Oracle's applications to non-Oracle applications and in building data warehouses.
