In Oracle world each connected user with oracle server is considered as session. If there are three connected users with oracle server, we can say that there are three sessions with oracle server. If one person logs off then the number of sessions drops to two. SQL commands are very simple and very easy to master, as it is comprised of all full-length English words with no or very little abbreviations. For example lets have a look on following SQL command

SELECT name, phone
FROM address_book;



Once Oracle Instance will receive this command, it will retrieve all the “name” and “phone” information from the address_book table and send it to the user who had asked for it. If there are 1000 records or rows in that table; all of them get sent to user computer.
