Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course introduces students to PL/SQL, Oracle’s procedural extension language for SQL and the Oracle relational database. Participants explore the differences between SQL and PL/SQL. They also examine the characteristics of PL/SQL and how it is used to extend and automate SQL to administer the Oracle database.
Course Content: This course is given in cooperation with the Oracle Academy and course content is PL/SQL. Introduction to PL/SQL; Benefits of PL/SQL; Creating PL/SQL Blocks; Defining Variables and Datatypes; Using SQL in PL/SQL; Conditional Control Statements (IF; CASE/WHEN); Iterative Control (Basic Loops; While; For and Nested Loops); Cursors; Composite Datatypes; Exception Handling; Using and Managing Procedures; Functions; Using and Managing Packages; Using and Managing Triggers.
