Description —
An Oracle database is a collection of data treated as a unit, which is used to to store and retrieve related information. A database server reliably manages a large amount of data so that many users in a shared environment can access the same data simultaneously. A database server also provides security to protect data by preventing unauthorized access and allows for more efficient recovery of data in case of a system or other technical failure.
KU uses Oracle as a database management system and for online applications such as Enroll & Pay and HR/Pay. Oracle is available for approved use by departments and researchers.
DATABASE SERVICES
Database services, including advice on installation, backup and best practices, are available for Oracle, MS Sql and MySql servers. Professional planning and preparation assistance from KUIT DBA services can help ensure the integrity and stability of your data through design, backup and decommissioning phases.
