Request for info,

I am currently taking an ORACLE course. However, the course is given
on a VAX running VMS and the instructors only know that environment.
I am concerned strictly with the UNIX implementation and they cannot
help me. Can anyone answer quickly the following questions for me:

How does ORACLE manifest itself in the UNIX file system?

- Is it a collection of files or one central file?

- Does it have the capabilty to use raw disk partitions?

- Is the product easy to administer ( especially if raw IO is used ) ?
	You may editorialize on this point.
