• Raise the security bar for your application.
• Identify where and how you need to perform authentication.
• Identify where and how you need to perform authorization.
• Identify where and how you need to secure communication both to your application (from your end users) and between application tiers.

Oracle Server 9i Quick Reference Guide.pdf

Oracle Server 9i Quick Reference Guide is some kind of outgrown cheat-sheet for all of us with limited supply of system memory. It enables quick lookup of syntax for statements which one might need less frequently in daily work. So the major goal of this document is compaction, not clarity. Some syntax options only work under certain circumstances, some options exclude each other. This behaviour is intentionally not reflected to avoid proliferation of similar statements.
