Chapter 4: Creating RDBMS Objects
Overview
By definition, a database is a collection of objects and
processes that manage these objects. Before you can start doing anything with a
database, you (or somebody else) has to design it and then create its objects.
The database design is a separate (though related to) SQL topic; we give a
crash course in RDBMS design basics in
Appendix
C. This chapter is about creating objects in a relational
database.
Cross-References | To be able to create database objects you must have sufficient (implementation specific) security privileges. See Chapter 12 for detailed discussion of SQL security. |
