The CRUD cycle describes the elemental functions of a persistent database. CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update and Delete. (Retrieve may occasionally be substituted for Read.) These functions are also descriptive of the .
LOB stands for large object, a stream of data stored in a database. Maximum capacity of a LOB is (4 gigabytes-1) bytes. In Oracle three kinds of LOB data type exist:
BLOB datetype stores unstructured binary large objects. BLOB objects can be thought of as bitstreams with no character set semantics.
The CLOB datatype stores single-byte and multibyte character data. Both fixed-width and variable-width character sets are supported, and both use the database character set.
The NCLOB datatype stores Unicode data.
Truncate: removes all data from a table, typically bypassing a number of integrity enforcing mechanisms.
delete: delete existing records in a table.
Materalized view: disk based and are updated periodidcally based upon the query definition.
view: virtual only and run the query definition each time they are accessed.
