This Oracle Database: Develop PL/SQL Program Units course is designed for developers with basic PL/SQL and SQL language skills. You will learn to develop, execute and manage PL/SQL stored program units, which include: procedures, functions, packages and database triggers. Learn To: Create, and execute stored procedures and functions.Design and use PL/SQL packages.Create overloaded package subprograms for more flexibility.Utilize Oracle supplied packages in application development.Create triggers to solve business challenges.Build and execute SQL statements dynamically.Manage PL/SQL subprograms and triggers.Understand and influence the PL/SQL compiler.Manage dependencies. Benefits to You: Ensure fast, reliable, secure and easy to manage performance. Optimize database workloads, lower IT costs and deliver a higher quality of service by enabling consolidation onto database clouds. Learn Dynamic SQL, Design Considerations and More: This course will also teach you how to use Dynamic SQL through instruction, as well as hands-on exercises. Expert Oracle instructors will also help you understand design considerations when coding using PL/SQL. Using Oracle SQL Developer: In addition, you'll use Oracle SQL Developer as the main environment tool to develop these program units. SQL*Plus is introduced as optional tools. Demonstrations and hands-on practice reinforce the fundamental concepts you've learned throughout the course. Learning Objectives At the end of this course you will be able to: Create, use, and debug stored procedures and functionsDesign and use PL/SQL packages to group and contain related constructsCreate overloaded package subprograms for more flexibilityUse the Oracle supplied PL/SQL packages to generate screen output, file output, and mail outputWrite dynamic SQL for more coding flexibilityDesign PL/SQL code for predefined data types, local subprograms, additional programs and standardized constants and exceptionsUse the compiler warnings...
