Course Description

​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.

Course Objectives

​Part I Objectives: to provide an introduction to the PL/SQL database programming language. Major subject areas to be explored are:

  • Understand the environment and context in which PL/SQL operates.
  • Consider the advantages and benefits of PL/SQL within a database environment.
  • Declaring program variables and complex data types.
  • Developing logic within PL/SQL program blocks.
  • Fetching data from the database into program variables.
  • Returning program output to users.
  • Handling program exceptions.
  • Using explicit and implicit database cursors.
  • Using the advanced features of nested blocks and subprograms.
  • How to take advantage of new features such as regular expression support and handling of string literals.
Part II Objectives: to equip students to develop database server-side PL/SQL program units within an Oracle database. Major subject areas to be explored and secondary objectives are:
  • Understanding application partitioning within a client/server or multi-tiered web-based architecture.
  • Understanding the basic form and structure of program units stored within the database.
  • Building and maintaining database stored program units.
  • Encapsulating stored units within packages and taking advantage of accompanying advanced programming techniques.
  • Building and maintaining DML-event and system-event database triggers.
  • Discuss the storage and execution model for database programs and how one can write efficient programs to maximize performance.
  • Using system-supplied packages to extend the power of your SQL statements and PL/SQL applications.
