Comparison of application development capabilities

データベースは今日のデータ駆動型企業の基盤であり、アプリケーションはますますデータ集約型になっています。次に、ベンダーは、複雑なタスクを実行するための柔軟性とシンプルな方法を求めるアプリケーション開発者のニーズをサポートするために、データベースソリューションを継続的に強化しています。たとえば、トリガー、ファンクション、およびストアドプロシージャに対して複数のサーバーサイド言語をサポートできるデータベースでは、開発者はクライアント、中間層、およびデータベースサーバーのプログラミングの両方で言語を選択できます。ユーザー定義オブジェクト型のようなオブジェクト指向機能により、データベースにデータの現実の表現を保存できるため、開発がより簡単、迅速、かつ理解しやすくなります。

Package name

Package description

DBMS_ALERT

Functions that allow asynchronous notification of database events by way of an alert. Using this package and triggers, an application can notify itself whenever values of interest in the database are changed.

DBMS_AQ

Database-integrated asynchronous message queuing provides a flexible mechanism for integrating applications across the enterprise by communicating activities and exchanging a variety of information payloads.

DBMS_AQADM

Provides procedures to create and manage queues and queue tables.

DBMS_CRYPTO

Provides functions to encrypt and decrypt stored data.

DBMS_JOB

Was replaced by DBMS_SCHEDULER but is included for compatibility with older Oracle applications.

DBMS_LOB

Functions that allow access to and manipulation of Large Object values.

DBMS_LOCK

Provides a function interface to Lock Management services.

DBMS_MVIEW

Provides procedures to manage and refresh materialized views and their dependencies.

DBMS_OUTPUT

Allows sending messages from stored procedures, packages, and triggers for application or debugging use.

DBMS_PIPE

Functions that allow two or more sessions in the same database instance to communicate with one another.

DBMS_PROFILER

Provides functions to profile stored procedure workloads and identify performance bottlenecks.

DBMS_RANDOM

Useful functions to generate random text, numeric, and date values.

DBMS_REDACT

Redaction prevents a user from seeing all or portions of sensitive data.

DBMS_RLS

Implements row-level security functions in the database, blocking users from seeing each other’s data in the same application.

DBMS_SCHEDULER

Job scheduler functions for creating and executing unattended repetitive tasks inside the database.

DBMS_SQL

Permits the use of dynamic SQL in procedures to allow applications to run SQL statements with unknown parameters (such as table name) until runtime.

DBMS_SESSION

Functions with the ability to enable and disable roles.

DBMS_UTILITY

A collection of functions for getting information about various runtime operations and metadata from the database.

UTL_ENCODE

Functions to perform Base64 encoding and decoding of data intended for transport between hosts.

UTL_FILE

Allows database procedures to read and write operating system text files in an I/O stream fashion.

UTL_HTTP

Functions that enable you to make HTTP calls to access information on web servers.

UTL_MAIL

Provides functions to create, manage, and send email from the database including attachments, CC, and BCC.

UTL_RAW

Functions supporting manipulating raw data types.

UTL_SMTP

Provides functions for sending email via SMTP according to the RFC821 specification.

UTL_TCP

Provides procedures and functions to enable PL/SQL applications to communicate with external TCP/IP-based servers using TCP/IP.

UTL_URL

Functions for escaping and “unescaping” URL strings.
