courses_11

This course introduces students to PL/SQL, Oracle’s procedural extension language for SQL and the Oracle relational database. PL/SQL is a procedural language extension to Structured Query Language (SQL). The purpose of PL/SQL is to combine database language and procedural programming language. Participants explore the differences between SQL and PL/SQL. They also examine the characteristics of PL/SQL and how it is used to extend and automate SQL to administer the Oracle database.
