Course: Database Design and Management (Oracle) (10052) > Section: Exploring Database Technologies

Identification should include

- table-based organization: Data is stored in tables with rows representing records and columns defining attributes.
- relationship between tables: Connections are established using primary keys (unique identifiers) and foreign keys, enabling the organization of related data across multiple tables.
- the potential of using the SQL programming language to manipulate data
- the inclusion of objects (e.g., views, sequences, synonyms, constraints) vs. a flat-file database (where all data is in one table with no relationship to other data in other tables).
