A database server also prevents unauthorized access and provides efficient solutions for failure recovery.

Every running Oracle database is associated with an Oracle instance. When a database is started on a database server (regardless of the type of computer), Oracle allocates a memory area called the System Global Area (SGA) and starts one or more Oracle processes. This combination of the SGA and the Oracle processes is called an Oracle instance. The memory and processes of an instance manage the associated database's data efficiently and serve the one or multiple users of the database.

Oracle provides two connectivity solutions to address the needs of disparate data access: Oracle Transparent Gateways and Oracle Generic Connectivity. Oracle Transparent Gateways provides access to many non-Oracle data stores, including Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, Ingres, and Sybase from an Oracle environment. Oracle Generic Connectivity provides access to many data stores for which Oracle does not have a gateway solution. This feature enables transparent connectivity using ODBC and OLE DB.
