Since feature behavior is consistent
across platforms for implementations of these Oracle flavors, organizations can
migrate Oracle applications and databases easily among various hardware platform
vendors and operating systems. This development strategy also enables Oracle to
focus on implementing new features only once across its product set.

Summary of Oracle Database Features
The Oracle database is a broad product. To give some initial perspective, we begin
describing Oracle with a high-level overview of the basic areas of functionality. By
the end of this portion of the chapter, youwill have orientation points to guide you
in exploring the topics in the rest of this book.
To give some structure to the broad spectrum of the Oracle database, we??™ve organized
our initial discussion of these features into the following sections:
??? Database application development features
??? Database connection features
??? Distributed database features
??? Data movement features
??? Database performance features
??? Database management features
??? Database security features
In this chapter, we??™ve included a lot of terminology and rather abbreviated
descriptions of features.
