Oracle Database allocates logical space for all data in the database. The logical units of database space allocation are data blocks, extents, segments, and tablespaces. At a physical level, the data is stored in data files on disk. The data in the data files is stored in operating system blocks.
The logical parts of the Oracle database are those structures within Oracle that determine where in the physical structures your table and index data reside. Since at the core of every operating system are mechanisms to access the physical data block defined on disk, Oracle must also have a logical structure that will relate down to that data block as your tables are created within the data files and as they grow over time. This is done by three logical structures that are kept for every object created in Oracle. These three structures are data blocks, extents, and segments.
