PL/SQL by Example - Beginner to Advanced PL/SQL

Become a proficient PL/SQL developer in just four weeks! This intensive course offers a fast, easy, and effective path to mastering PL/SQL, the powerful procedural extension of SQL for Oracle databases. You'll transition from no prior experience to writing efficient programs for data processing.

What is PL/SQL?

PL/SQL combines the data manipulation capabilities of SQL with the procedural programming features needed to control program flow and process data. A PL/SQL program integrates both SQL statements (for data access) and procedural statements (for data manipulation and control).

In this comprehensive course, you will:

• Understand PL/SQL Fundamentals: Learn the key features and syntax of PL/SQL.
• Master Anonymous Blocks: Design and execute efficient PL/SQL anonymous blocks for quick data manipulation.
• Utilize Oracle Packages: Leverage Oracle-supplied PL/SQL packages to generate effective screen output.
• Develop & Debug Stored Procedures and Functions: Create and debug robust stored procedures and functions for reusable database logic.
• Design PL/SQL Packages: Structure your code by designing well-organized PL/SQL packages to group related constructs.
• Control Code Flow: Employ PL/SQL programming constructs to conditionally control code execution.
• Implement Overloaded Subprograms: Create flexible PL/SQL packages with overloaded subprograms.
• Handle Runtime Errors: Effectively handle runtime errors using exceptions for resilient code.
• Write Manageable Code: Develop clean and maintainable PL/SQL code using records.
• Store & Process Data: Store and process data efficiently using collections.
• Utilize Cursors: Process data using both implicit and explicit cursors.

Software Requirements:

• Oracle Database 11g
• SQL Developer

This course provides a solid foundation for building complex database applications with PL/SQL.
