Description

This course is designed for developers with basic PL/SQL and SQL language skills. Developing, executing, and managing PL\SQL stored program units are dealt with in detail. Participants can enhance their skills by gaining in-depth knowledge of PL\SQL stored program units such as procedures, functions, packages, and database triggers. Participants also learn to utilize some of the Oracle-supplied packages.

Additionally the course also talks about the usage of Dynamic SQL along with enforcing the design considerations when coding using PL/SQL. Influencing the PL/SQL compiler and managing dependencies also provide the participants with better understanding of the language.

Additionally, particip…

Additionally, participants use Oracle SQL Developer as the main tool and SQL*Plus is available as an optional tool.

This is appropriate for a 10g and 11g audience. There are minor changes between 10g and 11g features in SQL.

  • Create overloaded package subprograms for more flexibility
  • Utilize Oracle-Supplied Packages in Application Development
  • Create triggers to solve business challenges
  • Build SQL statements dynamically
  • Create stored procedures and functions
  • Design and use PL/SQL packages
