I am trying to get some conceptual information about Oracle databases.

I have been flooded with database terminology recently, and was hoping someone on this newsgroup could sort me out!

First, is an Oracle database the same thing as a DBMS? If not, how can each of these be defined?

When building an Oracle database, what are the necessary programming steps. In other words, a developer has defined what data should be included and how the data relates, then how is this implemented?

Id appreciate a bit of help. Im currently researching how database systems are developed from a nontechnical perspective, and am looking for some technical information.

Thanks!
