Oracle Database: Introduction to SQL NEW

Duration:

 

 

What you will learn

Understanding the basic concepts of relational databases ensure refined code by developers. This course helps the

participants to write subqueries, combine multiple queries into a single query using SET operators and report

aggregated data using group functions. Controlling privileges at the object and system level are also dealt with in detail.

This course covers creating indexes and constraints, and altering existing schema objects. Additionally, participants

learn how to create and query external tables. In order to query and manipulate data within the database, to use the

dictionary views to retrieve metadata and create reports about their schema objects, participants get to understand the

advanced features of SQL. Some of the date-time functions available in the Oracle Database are also covered. This

course also discusses how to use the regular expression support in SQL.

This course is a combination of Oracle Database: SQL Fundamentals I and Oracle Database: SQL Fundamentals II

courses.

For this course, the main development tool used is Oracle SQL Developer. SQL*Plus is available as an optional

development tool.

This is appropriate for a 10g and 11g audience. There are minor changes between 10g and 11g features in SQL.

Learn to:

Create reports of sorted and restricted data.

Run data manipulation statements (DML).

Control database access to specific objects.

Manage schema objects.

Manage objects with data dictionary views.

Retrieve row and column data from tables.
