PDF Database Programming With PL SQL 1 2 Practice Activities - Compress

PL/SQL provides benefits for database programming with Oracle. It allows combining SQL statements into blocks for more efficient execution and less network traffic. PL/SQL integrates procedural logic with SQL, improves performance, and enables exception handling. While similar to languages like C and Java, PL/SQL is tailored specifically for use with Oracle databases and provides the most efficient interface. Examples of what can be built with PL/SQL include web applications, managing application data, and administering the Oracle database.
