Comprehensive Introduction to Programming with PL/SQL on Oracle 10g Course length: 5 days Course Web Page: http://www.webucator.com/Database/ORA101.cfm
Class Overview The Oracle PL/SQL language provides for programming logic features not contained within SQL. The grammar, syntax and benefits of using the PL/SQL language within an Oracle database environment are considered. This course can be tailored for Application designers and developers or Database administrators.
Class Goals • • • • • • • • • •
Understand the environment and context in which PL/SQL operates Learn the advantages and benefits of PL/SQL within a database environment Learn to declare program variables and complex data types Learn to develop logic within PL/SQL program blocks Learn to fetch data from the database into program variables Returning program output to users Learn to handle program exceptions Learn to use explicit and implicit database cursors Learn to use the advanced features of nested blocks and subprograms Learn to take advantage of new features such as regular expression support and handling of string literals Understand application partitioning within a client/server or multi-tiered web-based architecture Understand the basic form and structure of program units stored within the database Learn to build and maintain database stored program units Learn to encapsulate stored units within packages and taking advantage of accompanying advanced programming techniques Learn to build and maintain DML-event and system-event database triggers Understand the storage and execution model for database programs and how one can write efficient programs to maximize performance Learn to use system-supplied packages to extend the power of your SQL statements and PL/SQL applications.
