Oracle 11g PL/SQL

Courses
Course Overview:

Oracle Database 11g introduced significant enhancements to its PL/SQL (Procedural Language/Structured Query Language) programming language. PL/SQL is Oracle's extension to SQL, designed to provide procedural capabilities within the database environment. It enables you to write robust, efficient, and secure database applications.

This course is intended for students who want to gain expert-level knowledge of fundamental to advanced PL/SQL principles. Participants in this course learn how to recognize the SQL programming extensions that PL/SQL offers and how to create PL/SQL code that interacts with databases. The use of conditional control statements and PL/SQL programming techniques, addressing run-time failures, and designing anonymous PL/SQL blocks that execute quickly are also covered.


Key Features
  • Procedural Power:
  • PL/SQL supports procedures, functions, triggers, and more for robust database logic.

  • SQL Integration:
  • Seamlessly mix SQL with PL/SQL for data manipulation.

  • Error Handling:
  • Improved error handling with custom error messages.

  • Native Compilation:
  • Boost performance with native code execution.
  • Profiler:
  • Identify bottlenecks with the hierarchical profiler.

  • Conditional Compilation:
  • Compile code based on conditions.

  • Bulk Processing:
  • Handle multiple rows efficiently with collections.

  • Dependency Tracking:
  • Fine-grained tracking reduces recompilations.

  • Security:
  • Enhanced security and privilege management.

  • Triggers:
  • Compound triggers simplify trigger management.

  • Performance:
  • Result caching and optimization for faster execution.

  • Database Optimization:
  • Use PL/SQL for in-database optimization..
