Introduction to Client/Server Architecture (273)

In the Oracle database system environment, the database application and the database
are separated into two parts: a front-end or client portion, and a back-end or server
portion—hence the term client/server architecture. The client runs the database
application that accesses database information and interacts with a user through the
keyboard, screen, and pointing device, such as a mouse. The server runs the Oracle
software and handles the functions required for concurrent, shared data access to an
Oracle database.

Although the client application and Oracle can be run on the same computer, greater
efficiency can often be achieved when the client portions and server portion are run by
different computers connected through a network. The following sections discuss
possible variations in the Oracle client/server architecture.
