Woody, The reference link to the Oracle Concepts manual that gazzag porvided should have answered your question. I do not think the article/post you found via google search was a very good find.
If you are or are going to be an Oracle DBA then the Concepts manual is required reading followed by the DBA Administration manual.
If you are a developer then the Oracle Application Developers Guide - Fundamentals is probably the manual to start with.
All the major manuals are available online. If you have any folloup questions feel free to post back.
