Oracle PL/SQL - introduction to programming Training Course

This three-day course introduces participants to Oracle PL/SQL, an application development environment designed for creating stored procedures, functions, and triggers using both SQL and PL/SQL commands.

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

Participants receive comprehensive course notes, along with sample database files, example SQL scripts, and free software tools for accessing an Oracle database.

PL/SQL (Procedural Language/SQL) serves as Oracle's extension to SQL, allowing developers to embed procedural logic directly within the database.

This instructor-led training, available online or onsite, is designed for intermediate developers and technical professionals looking to build robust PL/SQL programs, manage exceptions, and develop reusable procedures, functions, and packages in Oracle Database.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be capable of:

• Creating PL/SQL blocks, procedures, and functions to encapsulate business logic.
• Effectively utilizing control structures, cursors, and exception handling mechanisms.
• Defining and managing packages, triggers, and stored logic with security in mind.
• Debugging and testing PL/SQL code using standard Oracle tools.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Extensive exercises and practice sessions.
• Hands-on implementation in a live laboratory environment.

Customization Options

• Handle errors robustly and secure code with encryption, obfuscation, and conditional compilation techniques.
• Apply PL/SQL in real-world scenarios, leveraging built-in packages for file handling, email automation, and other advanced functionalities.

This instructor-led, live training in Uzbekistan (online or onsite) is aimed at advanced-level developers and database administrators who wish to use PL/SQL to develop high-performing, secure, and scalable database solutions while leveraging advanced programming techniques and integrations.

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

• Work with complex data types, collections, and bulk operations for efficient data management.
• Develop object types, table functions, and custom aggregates to enhance database functionality.
• Apply performance tuning techniques, use native compilation, and safeguard against SQL injection.
• Implement application contexts, VPD, and secure program units for robust database solutions.

This training is designed for programmers who have a foundational understanding of SQL and PL/SQL but wish to master advanced language mechanisms and develop database applications using stored PL/SQL programs.

The training provides a clear and comprehensive exploration of the internal mechanisms that occur during the execution of SQL commands and PL/SQL programs. It equips participants with the skills to monitor and diagnose performance issues and implement effective solutions, enabling efficient management of the optimization process for SQL commands and PL/SQL programs.

This instructor-led, live training in Uzbekistan (available online or on-site) is designed for intermediate-level developers and administrators seeking a strong PL/SQL programming foundation to build efficient and robust database applications using Oracle 19c.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of PL/SQL and its advantages over standard SQL.
• Learn how to declare and utilise variables and various data types within PL/SQL blocks.
• Apply control structures such as IF-THEN-ELSE, CASE statements, and loops to develop robust PL/SQL programs.
• Understand and implement both explicit and implicit cursors for data retrieval.
• Effectively handle exceptions using predefined and user-defined exception types.
• Develop and manage triggers to automate and enforce business rules.
• Create and utilise PL/SQL packages to encapsulate and modularise code for reuse and maintainability.
