Oracle Database 10g: Use XML for SQL and PL/SQL Developers

Duration:

3 Days

 

What you will learn

Oracle provides PL/SQL developers with XML tools, which work inside the Oracle Database. In this course, students

learn to use XML technology with PL/SQL for Application Development. This course covers the XML features and

utilities available for the Oracle Database 10g Release 2, that can be used to develop PL/SQL applications.

The focus of this course is Oracle XML DB including packages supporting Oracle XML DB. Students learn to store,

retrieve, search, generate and manipulate XML data in the Oracle Database. This course emphasizes XQuery, a

language designed to query XML data from both XML files and from relational databases. Students also learn how to

optimize the performance of XPath and XQuery expressions. This course covers importing and exporting XML data in

Oracle XML DB.
