Preface
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
This catalog describes the complete set of ORACLE7 technical
documents that GCOS 7 users can order directly from BULL.
These documents fall into two distinct categories:
• the 47 series (GCOS 7 specific)
• the 86 series (general)
This catalog identifies each document by title and BULL
reference number, and gives a brief description of each. The
generic ORACLE books are grouped by product. Simple block
diagrams summarize each product's manual set and illustrate
how the various books are related.
INTENDED READERS
This catalog will be helpful to anyone concerned with using the
ORACLE7 Relational Database Management System under the
BULL GCOS 7 operating system.
Change bars in the margin indicate differences between this
version of the manual and the previous version.

2. ORACLE7 Product-Specific Documents
This is a set of 21 manuals that describe the generic ORACLE
products. These manuals are grouped below by product.
2.1
ORACLE7 SERVER
The ORACLE Relational Database Management System
(RDBMS) includes the database manager and several features
that assist users and database administrators (DBAs) in
maintaining, monitoring, and manipulating data on a variety of
platforms.
The ORACLE RDBMS includes a complete
implementation of SQL, the ISO- and ANSI-standard language
for RDBMSs.
Refer to the GCOS 7 specific documentation (Section 1) for
information on installing and running the ORACLE7 database on
a DPS 7000.
The seven manuals described here treat general RDBMS topics
and related utilities.

SQL LANGUAGE AND PL/SQL
The SQL language is the ISO- and ANSI-standard language for
relational database management systems.
The ORACLE
RDBMS includes a complete implementation of SQL.
PL/SQL is an extension of SQL that combines the data
manipulation features of SQL with the data processing power
and sophistication of procedural languages.
Two manuals are devoted to the SQL language itself and two
manuals describe the PL/SQL extension:

PROGRAMMATIC INTERFACES
Two types of programmatic interface allow applications
programmers to write high-level language programs to access
data in an ORACLE RDBMS:
• The Precompiler Interface translates SQL statements
embedded in high-level source code so that it can be
compiled and linked into executable code.
• The ORACLE Call Interface (OCI) allows high-level language
applications to access data in the ORACLE RDBMS by
making direct calls to ORACLE subroutines contained in
language-specific run-time libraries.
These interfaces are described in five manuals:
