Database Design
This section provides a standard for database objects such as tables, columns, and indexes, for
products using the Oracle Utilities Application Framework. This standard helps smooth
integration and upgrade processes by ensuring clean database design, promoting communications,
and reducing errors. Just as Oracle Utilities Application Framework goes through innovation in
every release of the software, it is also inevitable that the product will take advantage of various
database vendors’ new features in each release. The recommendations in the database installation

benchmarks. This section includes:
• Database Object Standard
• Column Data Type and Constraints
• Standard Columns
