Security features in Oracle database management system

Project (M.S., Computer Science) -- California State University, Sacramento, 2009.Nowadays database management systems are the most crucial factors in managing and storing the data. Security enforcement in a database is very important to assure that the data stored is properly secured. Most of the database management systems are occupied with strong defense mechanisms. In addition to this, many academic researchers have been proposing solutions and mechanisms to improve security enforcement in database management systems. Understanding and Identifying of these new mechanisms and security features provided by database systems are very important. In this project, I surveyed the solutions proposed and implemented by academic researchers on Relational and Object-Oriented Databases. Also, I identified and illustrated a set of security features that can be utilized to enforce security using Oracle database management system. In conclusion, this project identified the solutions, mechanisms, and features that can be used to improve security enforcement in both Relational and Object-Oriented databases.Computer Scienc
