Oracle Database 10g: PL/SQL Fundamentals

Duration: 2 days

Description:
This class is applicable to Oracle8i, Oracle9i and Oracle Database 10g users.This course
introduces students to PL/SQL and helps them understand the benefits of this powerful
programming language. In the class, students learn to create PL/SQL blocks of
application code that can be shared by multiple forms, reports, and data management
applications. Students learn to create anonymous PL/SQL blocks and are introduced to
stored procedures and functions. They learn about declaring variables and trapping
exceptions. Demonstrations and hands-on practice reinforce the fundamental concepts.

Objectives:
- Create simple procedures and functions
- Handle runtime errors
- Use PL/SQL programming constructs and conditionally control code flow (loops,
control structures, and explicit cursors)
- Write PL/SQL code to interface with the database
- Design PL/SQL anonymous blocks that execute efficiently
