PostgreSQL includes built-in support for regular B-tree and hash table indexes, and four index access methods: generalized search trees , generalized inverted indexes (GIN), Space-Partitioned GiST (SP-GiST) [42] and Block Range Indexes (BRIN). In addition, user-defined index methods can be created, although this is quite an involved process.
Some databases provide UUID/GUID as a possible data type for surrogate keys (e.g. PostgreSQL UUID [3] or SQL Server UNIQUEIDENTIFIER [4]). Having the key independent of all other columns insulates the database relationships from changes in data values or database design [5] (making the database more agile) and guarantees uniqueness.
All members are responsive to client data queries. The multi-master replication system is responsible for propagating the data modifications made by each member to the rest of the group and resolving any conflicts that might arise between concurrent changes made by different members.

Oracle has its own spin where creating a user is synonymous with creating a schema. Thus a database administrator can create a user called PROJECT and then create a table PROJECT.TABLE. Users can exist without schema objects, but an object is always associated with an owner (though that owner may not have privileges to connect to the database).
Formally, a "database" refers to a set of related data accessed through the use of a "database management system" (DBMS), which is an integrated set of computer software that allows users to interact with one or more databases and provides access to all of the data contained in the database (although restrictions may exist that limit access to particular data).
There are three types of DBAs: Systems DBAs (also referred to as physical DBAs, operations DBAs or production Support DBAs): focus on the physical aspects of database administration such as DBMS installation, configuration, patching, upgrades, backups, restores, refreshes, performance optimization, maintenance and disaster recovery.
