SQL Scripts
This chapter describes the SQL scripts that are required for optimal operation of the
Oracle7 Server. The SQL scripts are described in the following sections:
Creating the Data Dictionary
Creating Additional Data Dictionary Structures
Migration Scripts
Note: Check the header of each SQL script for more detailed information and
examples.

Creating the Data Dictionary

The data dictionary is automatically created when a database is created. Thereafter,
whenever the database is in operation, Oracle7 updates the data dictionary in response
to every DDL statement.
The data dictionary base tables are the first objects created in any Oracle database.
They are created and must remain in the SYSTEM tablespace. The data dictionary
base tables are present to store information about all user-defined objects in the
database.
During database creation, the initialization parameter INIT_SQL_FILES specifies the
names of script files that are run immediately following database creation. These SQL
scripts create the data dictionary and other important structures.
The initialization parameter INIT_SQL_FILES can also specify other files to run
during database creation, after the data dictionary is created. These other files may
create site-specific tables. You must specify the names of your files after the default
filenames, as in the following example:
INIT_SQL_FILES = (CATALOG.SQL, CATPROC.SQL ACME_DBA.SQL)

In this example, ACME_DBA.SQL is an additional file to run during database

creation.
The default filenames specified by INIT_SQL_FILES vary by operating system. See
your operating system specific Oracle documentation for the default filenames.
These initial SQL files do the following tasks:

1. Define the SYSTEM tablespace and SYSTEM rollback segment.

2. Define the data dictionary base tables in the SYSTEM tablespace. For every
table and column in a base table, a comment is also loaded to provide online
documentation.
3. Load data into some data dictionary tables.
Table 6 - 1 lists the scripts that are required for the Oracle7 Server with the indicated
options. The appropriate scripts for your Oracle7 Server options are run automatically
when you create a database. They are described here because you might need to run
them again, when upgrading to a new release of Oracle7. Your release notes
and Oracle7 Server Migration indicate when this is necessary. Run these scripts
connected to the Oracle7 Server as the user SYS.
For more information about scripts with names starting with DBMS, see the Oracle7
Server Application Developer's Guide.
The exact names and locations of these scripts are operating system dependent. See
your operating system specific Oracle documentation for the names and locations on
your system.

Table 6 - 1. (continued) Required SQL Scripts

Creating Additional Data Dictionary Structures

Oracle supplies other scripts with the Oracle7 Server that create additional structures
you can use in managing your database and creating database applications. These
scripts are listed in Table 6 - 2.
The exact names and locations of these scripts are operating system dependent. See
your operating system specific Oracle documentation for the names and locations on
your system.
