Oracle PL/SQL - introduction to programming Training Course

This intensive three-day workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to ORACLE PL/SQL, an application development environment designed for creating stored procedures, functions, and triggers using both SQL and PL/SQL commands.

Designed as a hands-on workshop, the course blends theoretical lectures with practical working examples and exercises. While the content can be tailored to specific needs, a minimum of two days is required to cover the essential core elements effectively.

Participants receive comprehensive course notes, sample database files, example SQL scripts, and access to complimentary software tools to facilitate interaction with ORACLE databases.

PL/SQL (Procedural Language/SQL) serves as Oracle’s extension to SQL, empowering developers to embed procedural logic directly within the database.

This instructor-led live training, available either online or onsite, is designed for intermediate-level developers and technical professionals seeking to build robust PL/SQL programs, manage exceptions efficiently, and create reusable procedures, functions, and packages within Oracle Database.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be equipped to:

• Construct PL/SQL blocks, procedures, and functions to encapsulate business logic.
• Effectively utilize control structures, cursors, and exception handling mechanisms.
• Define and securely manage packages, triggers, and stored logic.
• Debug and test PL/SQL code using standard Oracle tools.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Extensive exercises and practice sessions.
• Hands-on implementation within a live-lab environment.
