Oracle Applications Database Structure

A given Oracle database can store the objects associated

with a single installation of the Oracle E-Business Suite.
Generally, product data objects are stored in the
associated product schemas, whereas product code
objects are all stored in the APPS schema.

Each Oracle E-Business Suite product has a default Oracle

user ID, with the product abbreviation as both the
schema name and password. For example, the default
Oracle user ID/password for Oracle General Ledger is
GL/GL.

A product’s schema determines the ownership of the

product’s data objects, such as sequences, tables, and
indexes.

All data objects for a product are owned by a schema for

that product, known as a base product schema.
