Architecture

The Oracle database consists of two main parts: the instance, which is the software service that acts as an
intermediary between application requests and its data, and the actual data files, which are where the data is
kept. The instance is a dynamic process and uses a variety of tasks and memory to support its operations. The data files are stored on disk, so the data itself will survive most service interruptions, except for catastrophic media failure.
