Oracle Developmental Responsibilities
Application User’s Responsibilities
1. Enter, modify, and delete data, where permitted.
2. Generate reports of data.
All Oracle databases have three types of users: administrative,
developmental, and application. As their names imply, administrative
users administer and maintain the database itself; developmental
users develop applications and systems; and application users use
the developed applications and systems.
These three types of users have different needs. The space and disk
needs of a developer are usually greater than those of an
application user. A developer system may get by with a smaller SGA
because, generally speaking, developers will work with a subset of
all the data expected, while a production database user will need a
larger SGA because the data set is much larger. Administrative users
usually have the same quotas as a developmental user, but their
privileges are greater.
The number of each of these types of users will tell you about
required SGA sizing, disk resource requirements, and required system
memory.

Control files are probably the smallest and most important files in
the Oracle system. They contain the following data:
