Oracle PL/SQL - introduction to programming Training Course

This 3-day course provides an introduction to Oracle PL/SQL, a powerful application development environment that allows you to write stored procedures, functions, and triggers using both SQL and PL/SQL commands.

The course is structured as a workshop, combining lectures, practical examples, and hands-on exercises. While the content can be customized, at least two days are required to cover the core elements.

Participants receive full course notes, sample database files, example SQL scripts, and free software tools for accessing an Oracle database.

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 on-site, is designed for intermediate-level developers and technical professionals seeking to build robust PL/SQL programs, manage exceptions, and develop reusable procedures, functions, and packages within the Oracle Database.

Upon completing this training, participants will be able 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 practical application.
• Hands-on implementation within a live laboratory environment.
