Abstract
This paper compares various databases: Access, SQL, MS SQL Server 2000, Oracle, DB2 and MySQL. The paper describes each database system, explaining which language it uses, what application it is best used for, and compares it to the other databases covered in this paper. The paper presents the advantages of using one database system over another one from a financial and technological point of view.
From the Paper
"Microsoft Office Access is a multi-user relational database management system. It is designed to allow user to quickly assemble, display, and share data with others while protecting the privacy of the data and ensuring to have full control over how the data is used and distributed. It makes use of visual design for queries, forms and reports for developing client-server database solutions. It is committed in offering integrated development environment, incremental compilation and interactive visual debugger, breakpoints and single step-through. Although the maximum database size is 1 GB, still database can include linked tables in other files and its total size is limited only by available storage capacity. The difference of Microsoft Access to other database is that it has a nice GUI that enables user to easily manage all information from a single database file. Within the file, user can use Tables for storing data, Queries for finding and retrieving data you want, Forms for view, add and update data within the table, Reports for analyzing or printing data and Data Access pages to view, update the database data."

Abstract
This paper explains that the businesses value of the application of Oracle E-Business Suite to J.P. Morgan is implementing the basic capabilities of the application in integrating and assimilating financial data about customers and markets. The author suggests that some improvements to the existing application might be to make it less flexible and less easily applicable to other systems, which would give Oracle more exclusivity, given its ubiquity to the Internet age. The paper relates that some of the selling points of Oracle's contribution to the business sector and some of the reasons J.P. Morgan uses it includes a more holistic analysis of its overall image, its application to a variety of systems and industries, and its compatibility with other existing systems.
From the Paper
""The E-Business Suite is "purveyed through industry-leading independent software vendor (ISV) applications running on high-performing, scalable Oracle technology." Before, at JP Morgan, back-office applications that captured data for analysis were disaggregated and put into data silos rather than integrated. It became clear that financial institutions on the cutting edge of the industry, such as JP Morgan desired to be, must rely upon better integrated data in order to meet demands from regulators and customers, and to deliver the performance shareholders demanded in increasingly competitive times."

Abstract
This paper examines the concept of abstract authentication in federated database systems and the difficulties presented because the autonomously operated components may not know the identity of federation users. It looks at how one proposed solution is subject switching, where the federation translates the federated users identity to that of an agreed upon component subject and how this translation may be problematic due to not having component subjects with the same accesses requested by federation users. It proposes using proximity measures between requested and provided access and presents two policy neutral algorithms to find proximity minimizing matches between a federation subject and a collection of component subjects. It also explores the concepts relating to federated databases, authorization and access, and proposes some algorithms that will facilitate the subject switching method of reconciling access requirements.

From the Paper
"Heimbingner and McLeod coined the phrase Federated Database System in 1985, and Seth and Larson later confirmed the formal definition. While the term has been loosely used to refer to several different but related database systems, they more precisely and unanimously define it as a collection of cooperating but autonomous component database systems. [SL90] (According to Oszu 1999, semi-autonomous systems are termed federative DBMS). A federated database system represents a compromise between no integration, wherein users must explicitly interface with multiple autonomous databases, and total integration, where the autonomy of each distinct database is sacrificed in order to allow users access through a single global interface."

Bid Tactics of Oracle
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The financing structure of the Oracle takeover bid for PeopleSoft was, on the surface, initially a cash offer because Oracle had such a large pool of cash reserves at the time. The final offer for PeopleSoft was for $26.50 per share which placed PeopleSoft at a market value at the time of $10.3b. This final price that Oracle is paying for PeopleSoft is $2.50 per share more than Oracle's previous final offer which Oracle accomplished through cash and stock offerings for existing PeopleSoft shares tendered by December 10, 2004 in which 120,600,093 shares had been tendered and, according to Oracle, not withdrawn which completed the final acquisition. While most analysts agree that Oracle overpaid for PeopleSoft the benefits and market advantages that the company gained by acquiring PeopleSoft has paid dividends in the mid term because of the new customers the company has acquired as well as the host of other acquisitions that Oracle has undertaken since its PeopleSoft hostile takeover."

Abstract
This paper stresses that businesses want the most cost efficient database that can still do a very good job; therefore, Microsoft Access is almost out of the question for large database needs because it slows down when it holds too much data and is best suited and made for small data needs. The author states that the most important criteria is budgetary constrains: Microsoft Access costs roughly $200 while Oracle Enterprise costs $40,000, Microsoft SQL Server enterprise costs $20,000 and DB2 is about $25,000. The paper relates that any database security plan should start with the server and network and provide prevention, detection, response, authentication, authorization, table access and auditing.

From the Paper
"The data needs of the business are important when choosing the right DB. For instance, MS Access, although cheap, would be best suited for very small businesses or low data needs. On the other hand, large organizations with large data needs should use the industrial strength DBs like DB2 and Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. DB2 and Oracle are better suited for the really large data needs. For example: MS Access can hold 2GB of data; SQL Server can hold 1,048,516 TB of data."

From the Paper
"Since their inception, relational database management systems have been the most widely used database management systems today. Relational databases are favored in manipulating large amounts of data. The strong development of object-orientated programming languages has led to the emergence of object-oriented databases. Relational database models currently fail to satisfy the need of storing complex data types such as multimedia and CAD/CAM. Object oriented databases were designed to support these new trends in application development."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Oracle at Delphi was one of the most important oracles in Greek culture because, not only did the Oracle evaluate most of the important actions by Greeks and their governments, but also the temple and its grounds served as a location for festivals, games and many other cultural events. The author points out that the Oracle at Delphi supported Apollo, one of the most important and powerful Greek gods, which attracted worshipers and consultants from all over the world. The paper related that the Oracle, who commented on battles, political decisions, governmental laws and social issues, had more influence than many of the most important rulers of the time.
From the Paper
"Apollo's sphere of influence of the Greeks is legendary and well documented. According to Burkert, Apollo's sphere of influence included prophesizing or divination. Zeus clearly differentiated between Apollo and Dionysus, his other son, giving Dionysus reign over the erotic, or initiation spheres, effectively separating their duties and responsibilities, while he watched over both equally. In addition, Apollo's worshipers stretched from Sicily throughout the sphere of Greek influence, and more than one city or town was named for the god. In fact, there is at least some evidence that Apollo ..."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Oracle Systems Corporation that was one of the most successful software companies in the world until 1990. The paper explains how the Oracle case study is a prime example of how a corporation can perform well on paper for a number of years only to suddenly shock shareholders, customers and investors. The paper explores the underlying causes of Oracle's loss in both revenues and market share. The paper concludes that unless Oracle invests more money into technology advancement and software engineering, consumers will remain disenchanted with what was once the industry giant. There must be a change of sales tactics, management strategies, and an improved product quality or its stock price may continue to decline.
From the Paper
"Oracle Systems Corporation was founded by Lawrence J. Ellison in 1979 "to commercialize an innovative database management system," (p. 74). Throughout the 1980s, Oracle was the "fastest growing software company in the world" and clearly enjoyed a position at the top of the database management systems (DBMS) industry (p. 75). The company went public in March of 1986 with a stock issue price of $2.00 per share. By 1990, only four years later, Oracle's share price peaked at $28.375. Oracle's pre-1990 fiscal health was due to several factors, including an aggressive sales policy, diversification strategies, and international expansion and growth. Between the years 1980 to 1989, Oracle had "more than doubled its sales every year," (p. 75). However, in March of 1990, just when Oracle's stocks peaked in price, the company suddenly reported zero-growth and flat earnings revenue. The March 1990 announcement sent shock waves through the stock market and on September 25 of that year, Oracle announced its first ever quarterly loss. The previous year, Oracle had reported $11.7 million in earnings; in September of 1990, Ellison admitted a $36 million quarterly loss. Because the decline in share price revealed deeper conflicts within the corporation including management issues, Oracle was not financially healthy in September of 1990."

Abstract
This paper shows how the everyday contents of a personal wallet or purse comprises cards, memberships, registrations, and all kinds of information, which are based in various databases. Modern databases are used to collect and manage information, which affects virtually every area of contemporary life. For an example, the paper uses a person's credit card, by which personal and financial information are all stored in a variety of different databases.
From the Paper
"As in other new technological arenas, legal decisions lag behind technical developments. Ethics fill the gap as people negotiate how use of electronic information should proceed. The following notes define the broad ethical issues now being negotiated. Since laws deciding some aspects of these issues have been made, these notes should be read in conjunction with Legal Issues in Electronic Information Systems.
Ethics include moral choices made by individuals in relation to the rest of the community, standards of acceptable behavior, and rules governing members of a profession. The broad issues relating to electronic information systems include control of and access to information, privacy and misuse of data, and international considerations. All of these extend to electronic networks, electronic databases, and, more specifically, to geographic information systems."

Oracle Bones and Traditional China, 2004.
This paper discusses the role of oracle bones, the earliest form of Chinese writing, as an important source for understanding the development of written Chinese and the Shang society.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the religion of the Shang civilization, which was based on the worship of ancestral spirits and Shang Di, the supreme God, important decisions were made in the ancestral temple through divination by the oracle bones. The author points out that oracle bones also were used to record astronomical events. The paper states that the character 'yue' appears quite often in the oracle bone inscriptions as a pictograph of one range of mountains above another and is the object of sacrifices.
From the Paper
"The exact political status of the Huanbei Shang City is unknown, however, the walled city is probably one of the Shang capitals due to its huge size and geographic location. From traditional accounts, it was believed that the 19th king, Pan Geng, moved the capital to Yin, however, the oracle bone inscriptions from Yinxu only details the period from the reign of the 22nd king, Wu Ding to the 30th and last king of the Shang dynasty, Xin. Therefore, Yinxu probably did not become the capital until the reign of Wu Ding and Huanbei most likely was the capital of Pan Geng and the two succeeding kings. Moreover, inscribed oracle bones discovered in the area have enabled researchers to reconstruct the Shang royal genealogy. For nearly a century now, scholars have been reading the oracle bones to detail Chinese history."
