This course starts with an introduction to PL/SQL and proceeds to list the benefits of this powerful programming

language. Participants are made aware of how to create PL/SQL blocks of application code that can be shared by

multiple forms, reports, and data management applications. In addition, creation of anonymous PL/SQL blocks as well

as stored procedures and functions are covered in this course.

Participants enhance their developer skills by learning to develop, execute, and manage PL\SQL stored program units

such as procedures, functions, packages, and database triggers. Understanding the basic functionality of how to debug

functions and procedures using the SQL Developer Debugger gives way to refined lines of code. Participants also learn

to manage PL/SQL subprograms, triggers, declaring identifiers, and trapping exceptions. The utilization of some of the

Oracle-supplied packages is also in the course. Additionally participants learn to use Dynamic SQL, understand design

considerations when coding using PL/SQL, understand and influence the PL/SQL compiler, and manage dependencies.

This course is the bundle of Oracle Database: PL/SQL Fundamentals and Oracle Database: Develop PL/SQL Program

Units courses.

Students use Oracle SQL Developer to develop these program units. SQL*Plus and JDeveloper are introduced as

optional tools.
