Oracle PL/SQL - introduction to programming Training Course

This three-day course introduces Oracle PL/SQL, an application development environment that allows users to write stored procedures, functions, and triggers using both SQL and PL/SQL commands.

The course is structured as a workshop, combining lectures with working examples and practical exercises. Although the content can be customized, a minimum of two days is required to cover the core elements.

Comprehensive course notes are provided, along with sample database files, example SQL scripts, and free software tools to help participants access an Oracle database.

PL/SQL (Procedural Language/SQL) is Oracle’s extension to SQL that enables developers to write procedural logic directly inside the database.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level developers and technical professionals who wish to write robust PL/SQL programs, manage exceptions, and create reusable procedures, functions, and packages in Oracle Database.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

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

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
