Database Security

This document discusses database security, management, backup, and recovery. It explains that the database administrator must secure the database using multi-tiered access controls to restrict authorized and unauthorized users. The document also outlines steps for database population, reorganization, and performance tuning. It describes backup strategies to protect against data loss and recovery procedures to restore from backups in the event of failures.

Database Security

At the completion of this lesson; students would be


able to demonstrate how database administrator
would need further exploration if intended to function
as a DBA. Students will also learn how to secure a
database in a multi-tiered format as well as learning
the basic recovery steps to prevent loss of data.
Database Management
The database must be populated with database objects. Database objects
include tablespaces (specific to Oracle), tables, indexes, views, synonyms,
procedures, triggers, packages, sequences, users, roles, etc.
Reorganizing existing database tables and indexes 
Deleting unnecessary indexes or moving other objects
Making alterations to the database itself 
Making alterations to database components (tablespaces, data files, tables,
procedures, etc.)
Creating additional database objects (tablespaces, data files, tables, users,
indexes, procedures, etc.) 
Training users 
Backup and recovery of database objects
Database performance tuning
Database Security
The DBA must ensure the following security measures:
Access to the system is controlled. 
Authorized users must be able to access (insert, modify,
retrieve, or delete) data that they are authorized to
access. 
Authorized users must be restricted to the data and
resources that they are duly authorized to access and
nothing more.
Unauthorized users must have absolutely no access.
Database Backup and Recovery
Backup and recovery refers to the various strategies and
procedure involve in protecting a database against data
loss.
This backup may include important parts of the database
such as the control file, data file(s), or tablespace(s);
alternately, it may involve the entire database. A backup). is
a safeguard against unexpected data loss and application
errors.
Oracle Recovery: Basic Concept

Recovery is the opposite of backup. Like backup, recovery


may involve a component or section of the database (from
a control file, data file(s) or tablespace(s)), or it may involve
an entire database.
The restore only puts the data file back to the same point in
time of when the backup was taken.
Types of Failures
User Error
Statement Failure
Process Failure
Instance Failure
Media (Disk) Failure
Oracle’s Backup and Recovery Solutions
These are of two: Recovery Manager (RMAN) and user-
managed backup and recovery. . RMAN has its own syntax
and is accessible either through a command-line interface
or though the Oracle Enterprise Manager GUI. You can also
set up an independent recovery catalog, which is a schema
that contains metadata imported from the control file, in a
separate recovery catalog database
Oracle’s Backup and Recovery Solutions
An alternative method of performing recovery is to use
operating system commands for backups and SQL*Plus for
recovery.
Regardless of the method, physical backups can be
supplemented with logical backups of schema objects made
using the Oracle Export utility.
Summary
Depending on the DBMS being used, database creation may be complex or
simple. MySQL and Oracle are at the two extreme ends of the spectrum:
database creation is very simple in MySQL, and very complex in Oracle. 
Database security must ideally be multi-tiered. It must address access to the
system, access to the system resources, and access to data. 
Database management must continue after database creation. It must address
issues relating to the performance of the database system in the face of growing
data collection and changing user needs. Database tuning is an integral part of
this. 
Backup must be carefully planned and methodically implemented, in order to
minimize or eliminate data loss due to system failures. The recovery procedures
must also be reviewed as required. 
Like database creation, depending on the DBMS used, database removal may be
trivial or complex.
