 Overview of Database

A Database is a collection of related data organized in a way that can

make the process of data access, manage and update easier.

Database can be hardware based or software based in order to store

data.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Overview of Database

What is DBMS?

A DBMS is software that allows users to build, create and manipulate

the database, allowing them to process, analyze and store data easily.

DBMS provides a tool or interface to perform different operations

such as storing data, creating and updating it, and creating tables in the
database.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Overview of Database

Examples of popular DBMS used these days:

▪ MySQL.
▪ Oracle.
▪ SQL Server.
▪ IBM DB2.
▪ PostgreSQL.
▪ Amazon SimpleDB (cloud based) etc.

 Introduction of Oracle Database

An Oracle database is a combination of data treated as a unit. The

purpose of a database is to retrieve and store related data.

A database server is a key used to solve the problems of information

management.

 Development Life Cycle SDLC

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a methodology used

to create a high quality software.

SDLC provides a structured flow of phases that used to help an

organization to produce high quality software quickly.

 Database Design Phases

Design methodology is a structured approach that uses techniques,

procedures, tools, and documentation aims to support and make the
process of design easier.

There are many database design phases, such as:

1. Requirement analysis.
2. ER – Diagram.
3. Schema Diagram.
4. Class Diagram.

What is Requirements Analysis?

Requirements Analysis is the process of characterizing the expectations of

the users for an application that is to be built or updated. It contains all
the tasks that are produced to identify the needs of different
stakeholders.

Requirements analysis means to analyze, validate, document and manage

system or software requirements.

2 Data base Object

3 Constraints

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Structured Query Language SQL

SQL is a standardized language for defining and manipulating data in

a relational database.

• SQL stands for Structured Query Language.

• SQL lets you access and manipulate databases.
• SQL became a standard of the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) in 1986, and of the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) in 1987

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Structured Query Language SQL

SQL as we all know is the database language by the use of which we

can perform certain operations on the existing database and also we
can use this language to create a database.

SQL uses certain commands like Create, Drop, Insert etc. to carry out
the required tasks.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Structured Query Language SQL

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 SQL Data Definition Language DDL

DDL actually consists of the SQL commands that can be used to

define the database schema.

It simply deals with descriptions of the database schema and is used

to create and modify the structure of database objects in database.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 SQL Data Definition Language DDL

Examples of DDL commands:

• CREATE – is used to create the database or its objects (like table,

index, function, views, store procedure and triggers).

• DROP – is used to delete objects from the database.

• ALTER – is used to alter the structure of the database.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 SQL Data Definition Language DDL

• TRUNCATE – is used to remove all records from a table, including

all spaces allocated for the records are removed.

• COMMENT – is used to add comments to the data dictionary.

• RENAME – is used to rename an object existing in the database

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Data Manipulation Language DML

DML SQL commands that deals with the manipulation of data present
in database belong to DML or Data Manipulation Language and this
includes most of the SQL statements.

Examples of DML commands:

• INSERT – is used to insert data into a table.

• UPDATE – is used to update existing data within a table.
• DELETE – is used to delete records from a database table.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Data Control Language DCL

DCL includes commands such as GRANT and REVOKE which mainly

deals with the rights, permissions and other controls of the database
system.

Examples of DCL commands:

• GRANT - gives user’s access privileges to database.

• REVOKE - withdraw user’s access privileges given by using the
GRANT command.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Transaction Control Language TCL

TCL commands deals with the transaction within the database.

Examples of TCL commands:

• COMMIT– commits a Transaction.

• ROLLBACK– rollbacks a transaction in case of any error occurs.
• SAVEPOINT– sets a save point within a transaction.
• SET TRANSACTION –specify characteristics for the transaction.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Data base Object

A database object is any defined object in a database that is used to

store or reference data.

Anything which we make from create command is known as Database

Object.

It can be used to hold and manipulate the data.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Data base Object

Some of the examples of database objects are :

• Table: basic unit to store data has rows and columns.

• View: logical represent data from table or more .
• Sequence: generate numeric value .
• Index: improve the performance of some query.
• Synonym: Give alternative name to an object.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Create user

Use the CREATE USER statement to create and configure a database

user, which is an account through which you can log in to the
database, and to establish the means by which Oracle Database
permits access by the user.

Steps:
1. Create user username identified by password;
2. Grant permission to username .
3. Connect userename/password .

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Create Table

Use the CREATE TABLE statement to create one of the following types
of tables:

1. A relational table, which is the basic structure to hold user data.

2. An object table, which is a table that uses an object type for a

column definition. An object table is explicitly defined to hold
object instances of a particular type.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Create Table

Tables are created with no data unless a subquery is specified. You can add
rows to a table with the INSERT statement.

After creating a table, you can define additional columns, partitions, and
integrity constraints with the ADD clause of the ALTER TABLE statement.

You can change the definition of an existing column or partition with the
MODIFY clause of the ALTER TABLE statement.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Create Table

Table Naming Roles:

1. Begin with a letter.

2. Be 1–30 characters long .
3. Contain only A–Z, a–z, 0–9, _, $, and # .
4. Not duplicate the name of another object owned by the same user.
5. Not be an Oracle server–reserved word.
6. Names are not case-sensitive Department is the same department.

 Create Table

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 View

This database object is used to create a view in database.

A view is a logical table based on a table or another view. A view contains no

data of its own but is like a window through which data from tables can be
viewed or changed.

The tables on which a view is based are called base tables. The view is stored
as a SELECT statement in the data dictionary.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 View

Example:

CREATE VIEW salv

AS SELECT employee_id ID_NUMBER, last_name NAME,
salary*12 ANN_SALARY
FROM employees
WHERE department_id = 50;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequence

This database object is used to create a sequence in database.

A sequence is a user created database object that can be shared by multiple

users to generate unique integers.

A typical usage for sequences is to create a primary key value, which must be
unique for each row.

The sequence is generated and incremented (or decremented) by an internal

Oracle routine.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequence

Example:

CREATE SEQUENCE dept_deptid_seq

INCREMENT BY 10
START WITH 120
MAXVALUE 9999
NOCACHE
NOCYCLE;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Index

This database object is used to create a indexes in database.

An Oracle server index is a schema object that can speed up the retrieval of
rows by using a pointer.

Indexes can be created explicitly or automatically. If you do not have an index

on the column, then a full table scan occurs.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Index

An index provides direct and fast access to rows in a table. Its purpose is to
reduce the necessity of disk I/O by using an indexed path to locate data
quickly.

The index is used and maintained automatically by the Oracle server. Once an
index is created, no direct activity is required by the user.

Indexes are logically and physically independent of the table they index. This
means that they can be created or dropped at any time and have no effect on
the base tables or other indexes.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Index

Example :
CREATE INDEX emp_last_name_idx
ON employees(last_name);

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Synonym

This database object is used to create a indexes in database.

It simplify access to objects by creating a synonym(another name for an

object). With synonyms, you can Ease referring to a table owned by another
user and shorten lengthy object names.

To refer to a table owned by another user, you need to prefix the table name
with the name of the user who created it followed by a period.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Synonym

Creating a synonym eliminates the need to qualify the object name with the
schema and provides you with an alternative name for a table, view,
sequence, procedure, or other objects.

This method can be especially useful with lengthy object names, such as
views.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Synonym

In the syntax:

• PUBLIC : creates a synonym accessible to all users.

• synonym : is the name of the synonym to be created.
• object : identifies the object for which the synonym is created.

3 Constraints

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 constraint

Use a constraint to define an integrity constraint--a rule that restricts the

values in a database.

Oracle Database lets you create six types of constraints and lets you declare
them in two ways.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 constraint

The six types of integrity constraint are described briefly here :

• NOT NULL constraint prohibits a database value from being null.

• unique constraint prohibits multiple rows from having the same value in
the same column or combination of columns but allows some values to
be null.

• primary key constraint combines a NOT NULL constraint and a unique

constraint in a single declaration. That is, it prohibits multiple rows from
having the same value in the same column or combination of columns and
prohibits values from being null.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 constraint

• foreign key constraint requires values in one table to match values in

another table.

• check constraint requires a value in the database to comply with a

specified condition.

• REF column by definition references an object in another object type or in

a relational table. A REF constraint lets you further describe the
relationship between the REF column and the object it references.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 constraint

You can define constraints syntactically in two ways:

1. As part of the definition of an individual column or attribute. This is called

inline specification.

2. As part of the table definition. This is called out-of-line specification.

NOT NULL constraints must be declared inline. All other constraints can be
declared either inline or out of line.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Example of a column-level constraint

CREATE TABLE employees(

employee_id NUMBER(6)
CONSTRAINT emp_emp_id_pk PRIMARY KEY,
first_name VARCHAR2(20),
PhoneNumber Number(10)
)

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Foreign Key Constraint

A foreign key is a way to enforce referential integrity within your Oracle

database. A foreign key means that values in one table must also appear in
another table.

The referenced table is called the parent table while the table with the
foreign key is called the child table. The foreign key in the child table will
generally reference a primary key in the parent table.

A foreign key can be defined in either a CREATE TABLE statement or an

ALTER TABLE statement

 Foreign Keys with Cascade Delete

foreign key with cascade delete means that if a record in the parent table is
deleted, then the corresponding records in the child table will automatically
be deleted. This is called a cascade delete in Oracle.

A foreign key with a cascade delete can be defined in either a CREATE TABLE
statement or an ALTER TABLE statement.

We could also create a foreign key (with a cascade delete) with more than
one field as in the example below:

ADD CONSTRAINT fk_supplier
FOREIGN KEY (supplier_id, supplier_name)
REFERENCES supplier(supplier_id, supplier_name)

 Foreign Keys with Set Null on Delete

A foreign key with "set null on delete" means that if a record in the parent
table is deleted, then the corresponding records in the child table will have
the foreign key fields set to null. The records in the child table will not be
deleted.

A foreign key with a "set null on delete" can be defined in either a CREATE
TABLE statement or an ALTER TABLE statement.

database.

Syntax

INSERT INTO table(column, column...)

VALUES (value, value...);

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Data Manipulation Language (DML) Commands

There are many mistakes that users make with the insert statement:

✓ Duplicate value violating any primary or unique key constraint.

✓ Forgetting a mandatory value for a NOT NULL column.

✓ Referential integrity maintained for foreign key constraint.

✓ Any value violating a CHECK constraint.

✓ Values too wide to fit in column or data type mismatches.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Overview of Transaction Control Language (TCL)

Transaction Control Language (TCL) commands are used to manage

transactions in the database.

These are used to manage the changes made by Data manipulation

language (DML) commands.

It also allows commands and statements to be grouped together into

logical transactions.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Overview of Transaction Control Language (TCL)

A transaction consists of one of the following:

✓ DML commands constitute one consistent change to the data.

✓ One data control language (DCL) command.

✓ One DDL command.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Overview of Transaction Control Language (TCL)

A transaction starts implicitly when the first SQL command begins,

and it continues until one of the following are met:

✓ COMMIT command used to write the changes to this point on the

database.

✓ ROLLBACK statement to cancel/no write the changes to this point

on the database.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Overview of Transaction Control Language (TCL)

✓ When a user executes DDL commands (CREATE, DROP, ALTER,

…etc), the system first commits any DML commands (INSERT,
UPDATE, DELETE) executed to this point, before executing the DDL
statements.

✓ When a program crashes, all the updates to this point are rolled
back implicitly.

State of the Data After COMMIT

1. Data updates are saved in the database.

2. The previous state of the data is overwritten.

3. All users can display the results.

4. Locks on the affected rows are released;

 Display data from multiple table

The related tables of a large database are linked through the use of
foreign and primary keys or what are often referred to as common
columns.

The ability to join tables will enable you to add more meaning to the
result table that is produced.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Display data from multiple table

For 'n' number tables to be joined in a query, minimum (n-1) join

conditions are necessary.

Based on the join conditions, Oracle combines the matching pair of

rows and displays the one which satisfies the join condition.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Display data from multiple table

Joins are classified as below:

1. INNER JOIN (or sometimes called simple join)

2. LEFT OUTER JOIN (or sometimes called LEFT JOIN)
3. RIGHT OUTER JOIN (or sometimes called RIGHT JOIN)
4. FULL OUTER JOIN (or sometimes called FULL JOIN)

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 INNER JOIN

The INNER join is such a join when equijoins and non equijoins are
performed, rows from the source and target tables are matched using
a join condition formulated with equality and inequality operators,
respectively. These are referred to as inner joins.

A LEFT OUTER JOIN performs an inner join of two tables (supposed

table A which writes before the join keyword and table B which writes
after the join keyword in the SQL statement ) based on the condition
specified after the ON keyword.

It returns all rows from the table A as well as the unmatched rows
from the table B. For all rows in A that have no matching rows in B,
Oracle Database returns null for any select list expressions containing
columns of B.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Subqueries

A subquery is best defined as a query within a query. Subqueries

enable you to write queries that select data rows for criteria that are
actually developed while the query is executing at run time.

More formally, it is the use of a SELECT statement inside one of the

clauses of another SELECT statement.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Subqueries

In fact, a subquery can be contained inside another subquery, which

is inside another subquery, and so forth. A subquery can also be
nested inside INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements. Subqueries
must be enclosed within parentheses.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Subqueries

A subquery SELECT statement is very similar to the SELECT statement

used to begin a regular or outer query.

The complete syntax of a subquery is:

( SELECT [DISTINCT] subquery_select_parameter
FROM {table_name | view_name}
{table_name | view_name} ...
[WHERE search_conditions]
[GROUP BY column_name [,column_name ] ...]
[HAVING search_conditions] )

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Subqueries

Types of Subqueries:
• Single Row Sub Query: Sub query which returns single row output. They
mark the usage of single row comparison operators, when used in WHERE
conditions.
• Multiple row sub query: Sub query returning multiple row output. They
make use of multiple row comparison operators like IN, ANY, ALL. There
can be sub queries returning multiple columns also.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Subqueries

• Correlated Sub Query: Correlated subqueries depend on data provided

by the outer query.

This type of subquery also includes subqueries that use the EXISTS operator
to test the existence of data rows satisfying specified criteria.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Subqueries

In the below SELECT query, inner SQL returns only one row i.e. the
minimum salary for the company. It in turn uses this value to
compare salary of all the employees and displays only those, whose
salary is equal to minimum salary.

SELECT first_name, salary, department_id

FROM employees
WHERE salary = (SELECT MIN (salary)
FROM employees);

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Subqueries

A HAVING clause is used when the group results of a query need to

be restricted based on some condition. If a subquery's result must be
compared with a group function, you must nest the inner query in the
outer query's HAVING clause.

SELECT department_id, MIN (salary)

FROM employees
GROUP BY department_id
HAVING MIN (salary) < (SELECT AVG (salary)
FROM employees)

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 VIEW

Use the CREATE VIEW statement to define a view, which is a logical

table based on one or more tables or views. A view contains no data
itself. The tables upon which a view is based are called base tables.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Create VIEW

Syntax:
The syntax for the CREATE VIEW Statement in Oracle/PLSQL is:

CREATE VIEW view_name AS

SELECT columns
FROM tables

view_name
It specifies the name of the Oracle VIEW that you want to create.

WHERE conditions
Optional. The conditions that must be met for the records to be
included in the VIEW.

 Sequences

n Oracle, you can create an auto number field by using sequences. A

sequence is an object in Oracle that is used to generate a number
sequence.

This can be useful when you need to create a unique number to act
as a primary key.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequences

Syntax:
The syntax to create a sequence in Oracle is:

CREATE SEQUENCE sequence_name

MINVALUE value
MAXVALUE value
START WITH value
INCREMENT BY value
CACHE value;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequences

sequence_name
The name of the sequence that you wish to create.

CREATE SEQUENCE supplier_seq

MINVALUE 1
MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
CACHE 20;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequences

This would create a sequence object called supplier_seq.

The first sequence number that it would use is 1 and each

subsequent number would increment by 1 (ie: 2,3,4,...}.

It will cache up to 20 values for performance.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequences

If you omit the MAXVALUE option, your sequence will automatically default
to:

MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequences

So you can simplify your CREATE SEQUENCE command as follows:

CREATE SEQUENCE supplier_seq

MINVALUE 1
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
CACHE 20;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequences

To retrieve the next value in the sequence order, you need to use nextval.

supplier_seq.NEXTVAL;

INSERT INTO suppliers

(supplier_id, supplier_name)
VALUES
(supplier_seq.NEXTVAL, 'Kraft Foods');

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Drop Sequence

Once you have created your sequence in Oracle, you might find that you
need to remove it from the database.

Syntax:

DROP SEQUENCE sequence_name;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequence

Thinking Question !!

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequence

Question: While creating a sequence, what does cache and nocache options
mean?
For example, you could create a sequence with a cache of 20 as follows:

CREATE SEQUENCE supplier_seq CREATE SEQUENCE supplier_seq

MINVALUE 1 MINVALUE 1
START WITH 1 START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1 INCREMENT BY 1
CACHE 20; NOCACHE;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequence

Answer: With respect to a sequence, the cache option specifies how many
sequence values will be stored in memory for faster access.

The downside of creating a sequence with a cache is that if a system failure

occurs, all cached sequence values that have not be used, will be "lost".

This results in a "gap" in the assigned sequence values. When the system
comes back up, Oracle will cache new numbers from where it left off in the
sequence, ignoring the so called "lost" sequence values.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequence

Question: How do we set the LASTVALUE value in an Oracle Sequence?

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Sequence

Answer: You can change the LASTVALUE for an Oracle sequence, by executing
an ALTER SEQUENCE command.

For example, if the last value used by the Oracle sequence was 100 and you
would like to reset the sequence to serve 225 as the next value. You would
execute the following commands.

ALTER SEQUENCE seq_name

INCREMENT BY 124;
SELECT seq_name.nextval FROM dual;
ALTER SEQUENCE seq_name
INCREMENT BY 1;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Synonyms

synonym is an alternative name for objects such as tables, views, sequences,

stored procedures, and other database objects.

You generally use synonyms when you are granting access to an object from
another schema and you don't want the users to have to worry about
knowing which schema owns the object.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Synonyms

Syntax:

CREATE [OR REPLACE] [PUBLIC] SYNONYM [schema .] synonym_name

FOR [schema .] object_name [@ dblink];

OR REPLACE:
Allows you to recreate the synonym (if it already exists) without having to
issue a DROP synonym command.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Synonyms

Syntax:

CREATE [OR REPLACE] [PUBLIC] SYNONYM [schema .] synonym_name

FOR [schema .] object_name [@ dblink];

PUBLIC
It means that the synonym is a public synonym and is accessible to all users.
Remember though that the user must first have the appropriate privileges to
the object to use the synonym.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Synonyms

Syntax:

CREATE [OR REPLACE] [PUBLIC] SYNONYM [schema .] synonym_name

FOR [schema .] object_name [@ dblink];

schema
The appropriate schema. If this phrase is omitted, Oracle assumes that you
are referring to your own schema.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Synonyms

object_name:
The name of the object for which you are creating the synonym. It can be one
of the following:
• table
• view
• sequence
• stored procedure
• function
• package
• materialized view
• java class schema object
• user-defined object
• synonym

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Synonyms

Example:

CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM suppliers

FOR app.suppliers;

This example demonstrates how to create a synonym called suppliers.

Now, users of other schemas can reference the table called suppliers without
having to prefix the table name with the schema named app.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

Once a synonym has been created in Oracle, you might at some point need
to drop the synonym.

Syntax:

DROP [PUBLIC] SYNONYM [schema .] synonym_name [force];

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Drop synonym

PUBLIC
Allows you to drop a public synonym. If you have specified PUBLIC, then you
don't specify a schema.

force
It will force Oracle to drop the synonym even if it has dependencies. It is
probably not a good idea to use force as it can cause invalidation of Oracle
objects.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Drop synonym

 PL/SQL

PL/SQL stands for “Procedural Language extensions to the Structured

Query Language”.

SQL is a popular language for both querying and updating data in the
relational database management systems (RDBMS).

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 PL/SQL

PL/SQL adds many procedural constructs to SQL language to

overcome some limitations of SQL.

Besides, PL/SQL provides a more comprehensive programming

language solution for building mission-critical applications on Oracle
Databases.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 PL/SQL

PL/SQL is an embedded language.

PL/SQL only can execute in an Oracle Database. It was not designed

to use as a standalone language like Java, C#, and C++.

In other words, you cannot develop a PL/SQL program that runs on a

system that does not have an Oracle Database.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 PL/SQL

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Anonymous Block

PL/SQL is a block-structured language whose code is organized into

blocks. A PL/SQL block consists of three sections: declaration,
executable, and exception-handling sections.

In a block, the executable section is mandatory while the declaration

and exception-handling sections are optional.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Anonymous Block

A PL/SQL block has a name. Functions or Procedures is an example of

a named block. A named block is stored into the Oracle Database
server and can be reused later.

A block without a name is an anonymous block. An anonymous block

is not saved in the Oracle Database server, so it is just for one-time
use.

However, PL/SQL anonymous blocks can be useful for testing

purposes.

 Data Types

Each value in PL/SQL such as a constant, variable and parameter has

a data type that determines the storage format, valid values, and
allowed operations.

PL/SQL has two kinds of data types: scalar and composite.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Data Types

The scalar types are types that store single values such as number,
Boolean, character, and datetime .

composite types are types that store multiple values, for example,
record and collection

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Numeric data types

The numeric data types represent real numbers, integers, and

floating-point numbers. They are stored as NUMBER, IEEE floating-
point storage types (BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE), and
PLS_INTEGER.

The data types NUMBER, BINARY_FLOAT, and BINARY_DOUBLE are

SQL data types.

The PLS_INTEGER datatype is specific to PL/SQL. It represents signed

32 bits integers that range from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Numeric data types

Because PLS_INTEGER datatype uses hardware arithmetic, they are

faster than NUMBER operations, which uses software arithmetic.

In addition, PLS_INTEGER values require less storage than NUMBER.

Hence, you should always use PLS_INTEGER values for all calculation
in its range to increase the efficiency of programs.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Numeric data types

The PLS_INTEGER datatype has the following predefined subtypes:

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Boolean data type

The BOOLEAN datatype has three data values: TRUE, FALSE, and
NULL. Boolean values are typically used in control flow structure such
as IF-THEN, CASE, and loop statements like LOOP, FOR LOOP, and
WHILE LOOP.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Boolean data type

SQL does not have the BOOLEAN data type, therefore, you cannot:

• Assign a BOOLEAN value to a table column.

• Select the value from a table column into a BOOLEAN variable.
• Use a BOOLEAN value in a SQL function.
• Use a BOOLEAN expression in a SQL statement.
• Use a BOOLEAN value in the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUTLINE and
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT subprograms.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Character data types

The character data types represent alphanumeric text.

PL/SQL uses the SQL character data types such as CHAR, VARCHAR2,
LONG, RAW, LONG RAW, ROWID, and UROWID.

• CHAR(n) is a fixed-length character type whose length is from 1 to

32,767 bytes.

• VARCHAR2(n) is varying length character data from 1 to 32,767

bytes.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Datetime data types

The datetime data types represent dates, timestamp with or without

time zone and intervals.

PL/SQL datetime data types are DATE, TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP

WITH TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE, INTERVAL
YEAR TO MONTH, and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Data type synonyms

Data types have synonyms for compatibility with non-Oracle data

sources such as IBM Db2, SQL Server.

It is not a good practice to use data type synonym unless you are
accessing a non-Oracle Database.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Data type synonyms

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Variables

In PL/SQL, a variable is named storage location that stores a value of

a particular data type. The value of the variable changes through the
program. Before using a variable, you must declare it in the
declaration section of a block.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Variables

The syntax for a variable declaration is as follows:

variable_name datatype [NOT NULL] [:= initial_value];

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Variables

In the last syntax:

• First, specify the name of the variable. The name of the variable
should be as descriptive as possible, e.g., l_total_sales,
l_credit_limit, and l_sales_revenue.

• Second, choose an appropriate data type for the variable,

depending on the kind of value which you want to store, for
example, number, character, Boolean, and datetime.

• By convention, local variable names should start with l_ and

global variable names should have a prefix of g_ .

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Variables

DECLARE
l_total_sales NUMBER(15,2);
l_credit_limit NUMBER (10,0);
l_contact_name VARCHAR2(255);
BEGIN
NULL;
END;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Variables

Default values:

PL/SQL allows you to set a default value for a variable at the

declaration time. To assign a default value to a variable, you use the
assignment operator (:=) or the DEFAULT keyword.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Variables

DECLARE
l_product_name VARCHAR2( 100 ) := 'Laptop';
BEGIN
NULL;
END;

It is equivalent to the following block:

DECLARE
l_product_name VARCHAR2(100) DEFAULT 'Laptop';
BEGIN
NULL;
END;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Variables

NOT NULL constraint:

If you impose the NOT NULL constraint on a value, then the variable
cannot accept a NULL value.

Besides, a variable declared with the NOT NULL must be initialized

with a non-null value.

Note that PL/SQL treats a zero-length string as a NULL value.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Variables

DECLARE
l_shipping_status VARCHAR2( 25 ) NOT NULL := 'Shipped';
BEGIN
l_shipping_status := '';
END;

It is equivalent to the following block:

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Variables

Anchored declarations:

Typically, you declare a variable and select a value from a table column to this
variable.

If the data type of the table column changes, you must adjust the program to

 Comments

PL/SQL comments allow you to describe the purpose of a line or a block of

PL/SQL code.

When compiling the PL/SQL code, the Oracle precompiler ignores comments.

However, you should always use comments to make your code more
readable and to help you and other developers understand it better in the
future.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Comments

PL/SQL has two comment styles: single-line and multi-line comments:

• Single-line comments: A single-line comment starts with a double hyphen

(--) that can appear anywhere on a line and extends to the end of the
line.
-- valued added tax 10%

• Multi-line comments: A multi-line comment starts with a slash-asterisk

( /* ) and ends with an asterisk-slash ( */ ), and can span multiple lines.
/*
This is a multi-line commet
that can span multiple lines
*/

 IF Statement

The IF statement allows you to either execute or skip a sequence of

statements, depending on a condition. The IF statement has the three
forms:

• IF THEN
• IF THEN ELSE
• IF THEN ELSIF

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 IF Statement

IF THEN statement:
The condition is a Boolean expression that always evaluates to TRUE,
FALSE, or NULL.

If the condition evaluates to TRUE, the statements after the THEN

execute. Otherwise, the IF statement does nothing.

 Exception

PL/SQL treats all errors that occur in an anonymous block, procedure,

or function as exceptions.

The exceptions can have different causes such as coding mistakes,

bugs, even hardware failures.

It is not possible to anticipate all potential exceptions, however, you

can write code to handle exceptions to enable the program to
continue running as normal.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Exception

The code that you write to handle exceptions is called an exception

handler.
BEGIN
-- executable section
...
-- exception-handling section
EXCEPTION
WHEN e1 THEN
-- exception_handler1
WHEN e2 THEN
-- exception_handler1
WHEN OTHERS THEN
-- other_exception_handler

 Records

A PL/SQL record is a composite data structure which consists of

multiple fields; each has its own value. The following picture shows
an example record that includes first name, last name, email, and
phone number:

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Records

PL/SQL record helps you simplify your code by shifting from field-
level to record-level operations.

PL/SQL has three types of records: table-based, cursor-based,

programmer-defined.

Before using a record, you must declare it.

DECLARE
record_name table_name%ROWTYPE;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Records

CREATE TABLE persons (

person_id NUMBER GENERATED BY DEFAULT
AS IDENTITY,
first_name VARCHAR2( 50 ) NOT NULL,
last_name VARCHAR2( 50 ) NOT NULL,
primary key (person_id)
);

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Records

DECLARE
r_person persons%ROWTYPE;

BEGIN
-- assign values to person record
r_person.person_id := 1;
r_person.first_name := 'John';
r_person.last_name := 'Doe';

-- insert a new person

INSERT INTO persons VALUES r_person;
END;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

-- change the person's last name

r_person.last_name := 'Smith';

-- update the person

UPDATE persons
SET ROW = r_person
WHERE person_id = r_person.person_id;
END;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Cursors

A cursor is a pointer that points to a result of a query. PL/SQL has two

types of cursors: implicit cursors and explicit cursors.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Implicit cursors

Whenever Oracle executes an SQL statement such as SELECT INTO,

INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE, it automatically creates an implicit
cursor.

Oracle internally manages the whole execution cycle of implicit

cursors and reveals only the cursor’s information and statuses such
as:
• SQL%ROWCOUNT
• SQL%ISOPEN
• SQL%FOUND
• SQL%NOTFOUND.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Implicit cursors

The implicit cursor is not elegant when the query returns zero or
multiple rows which cause NO_DATA_FOUND or TOO_MANY_ROWS
exception respectively.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Explicit cursors

An explicit cursor is an SELECT statement declared explicitly in the

declaration section of the current block or a package specification.

For an explicit cursor, you have control over its execution cycle from
OPEN, FETCH, and CLOSE.

Oracle defines an execution cycle that executes an SQL statement and

associates a cursor with it.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Explicit cursors

The following illustration shows the execution cycle of an explicit

cursor:

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Explicit cursors

Declare a cursor
Before using an explicit cursor, you must declare it in the declaration
section of a block or package as follows:

CURSOR cursor_name IS query;

In this syntax:

• First, specify the name of the cursor after the CURSOR keyword.
• Second, define a query to fetch data after the IS keyword.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Explicit cursors

Open a cursor
Before start fetching rows from the cursor, you must open it. To open
a cursor, you use the following syntax:

OPEN cursor_name;

In this syntax, the cursor_name is the name of the cursor declared in

the declaration section.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Explicit cursors

Fetch from a cursor

The FETCH statement places the contents of the current row into
variables. The syntax of FETCH statement is as follows:

FETCH cursor_name INTO variable_list;

To retrieve all rows in a result set, you need to fetch each row till the
last one.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Explicit cursors

Closing a cursor
After fetching all rows, you need to close the cursor with the CLOSE
statement:

CLOSE cursor_name;

Closing a cursor instructs Oracle to release allocated memory at an

appropriate time.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Explicit Cursor Attributes

A cursor has four attributes to which you can reference in the

following format:

cursor_name%attribute

where cursor_name is the name of the explicit cursor.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Explicit Cursor Attributes

• %ISOPEN
This attribute is TRUE if the cursor is open or FALSE if it is not.

• %FOUND
This attribute has four values:
1. NULL before the first fetch
2. TRUE if a record was fetched successfully
3. FALSE if no row returned
4. INVALID_CURSOR if the cursor is not opened

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Explicit Cursor Attributes

• %NOTFOUND
This attribute has four values:
1. NULL before the first fetch
2. FALSE if a record was fetched successfully
3. TRUE if no row returned
4. INVALID_CURSOR if the cursor is not opened

• %ROWCOUNT
The %ROWCOUNT attribute returns the number of rows fetched from
the cursor. If the cursor is not opened, this attribute returns
INVALID_CURSOR.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 cursor example

We will use the orders and order_items tables from the sample
database for the demonstration.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

credit
FROM order_items
INNER JOIN orders USING (order_id)
WHERE status = 'Shipped'
GROUP BY customer_id;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 cursor example

Suppose you need to develop a anonymous block that:

1. Reset credit limits of all customers to zero.

2. Fetch customers sorted by sales in descending order and gives
them new credit limits from a budget of 1 million.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 cursor example

The following anonymous block illustrates the logic:

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 cursor example

In the declaration section, we declare three variables.

The first one is l_budget whose initial value is 1,000,000.

The second variable is an explicit cursor variable named c_sales

whose SELECT statement retrieves data from the sales view:

CURSOR c_sales IS
SELECT * FROM sales
ORDER BY total DESC;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 cursor example

In the execution section, we perform the following:

1. First, reset credit limits of all customers to zero using an UPDATE

statement.
2. Second, open the c_sales cursor.
3. Third, fetch each row from the cursor. In each loop iteration, we
update the credit limit and reduced the budget. The loop
terminates when there is no row to fetch or the budget is
exhausted.
4. Finally, close the cursor.

 Overview of Stored Procedure

A PL/SQL procedure is a reusable unit used to encapsulate a specific

business logic of the application.

Procedure is a named block stored in the Oracle Database.

Syntax

CREATE [OR REPLACE] PROCEDURE procedure_name

END procedure_name;

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Create Stored Procedure

Each parameter can be in either IN, OUT, or INOUT mode.

An IN parameter is read only.

It means that if you do not specify the mode for a parameter

explicitly, Oracle will use the IN mode.

Tahaluf Training Centre 05 Jul 2021

 Create Stored Procedure

OUT parameter is writable.

Setting a returned value for the OUT parameter and return it to call a
program.

Note: A procedure ignores the value supplies an OUT parameter.

 Introduction to Statement-level triggers

A statement-level trigger is fired when a trigger occurs on a

table regardless of number of rows are affected.

A statement-level trigger executes once for each transaction.

 INSTEAD OF Triggers

An INSTEAD OF trigger allows to update data in the tables via their

view which cannot be modified directly through DML statements.

Syntax

CREATE [OR REPLACE] TRIGGER trigger_name

INSTEAD OF {INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE}
ON view_name
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN EXCEPTION ...
END;

CREATE VIEW vw_customers AS

SELECT
name,
address,
website,
credit_limit,
first_name,
last_name,
email,
phone
FROM
customers
INNER JOIN contacts USING (customer_id);
