Jenkins Database and Authentication -jenkins database

Question

Does Jenkins store build status information into a database on its own? Does it have a plugin to talk to an Oracle database? If yes, can the slaves running on remote sites do this on their own, without master having to do the database interaction?

I will be running Jenkins on remote sites.Won't network hiccups cause master to think that the build has failed?
