    -Backup and recovery procedures protect your database against data loss and reconstruct the data, should loss occur.

    -Flash Recovery Area - The flash recovery area is associated with the parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST.
    -It simplifies the ongoing administration of the database by automatically naming recovery-related files, retaining them as long as they are needed for restore and recovery activities and deleting them when they are no longer needed to restore your database and space is needed for some other backup and recovery-related purpose.

    -Managing the System Global Area (SGA) - It is a group of shared memory areas that are dedicated to an Oracle instance.
    -All the Oracle processes use the SGA to hold the information.
    -It is used to store incoming data.
