Introduction to Processes
Introduction to Processes
All connected Oracle users must run two modules of code to access an Oracle database instance.
Application or Oracle tool: A database user runs a database application (such as a precompiler program) or an Oracle tool (such as SQL*Plus), which issues SQL statements to an Oracle database.
Oracle server code: Each user has some Oracle server code executing on his or her behalf, which interprets and processes the application’s SQL statements.
These code modules are run by processes. A process is a "thread of control" or a mechanism in an operating system that can run a series of steps. (Some operating systems use the terms job or task.) A process normally has its own private memory area in which it runs.
Multiple-Process Oracle Systems
Multiple-process Oracle (also called multiuser Oracle) uses several processes to run different parts of the Oracle code and additional processes for the users—either one process for each connected user or one or more processes shared by multiple users. Most database systems are multiuser, because one of the primary benefits of a database is managing data needed by multiple users at the same time.
Each process in an Oracle instance performs a specific job. By dividing the work of Oracle and database applications into several processes, multiple users and applications can connect to a single database instance simultaneously while the system maintains excellent performance.
Types of Processes
The processes in an Oracle system can be categorized into two major groups:
User processes run the application or Oracle tool code.
Oracle processes run the Oracle server code. They include server processes and background processes.
The process structure varies for different Oracle configurations, depending on the operating system and the choice of Oracle options. The code for connected users can be configured as a dedicated server or a shared server.
With dedicated server, for each user, the database application is run by a different process (a user process) than the one that runs the Oracle server code (a dedicated server process).
8-2 Oracle9i Database Concepts
Introduction to Processes
With shared server, the database application is run by a different process (a user process) than the one that runs the Oracle server code. Each server process that runs Oracle server code (a shared server process) can serve multiple user processes.
Figure 8–1 illustrates a dedicated server configuration. Each connected user has a separate user process, and several background processes run Oracle.
