This course introduces students to PL/SQL and helps them understand the benefits of this powerful programming language. In the class, students learn to create PL/SQL blocks of application code that can be shared by multiple forms, reports, and data management applications. Students learn to create procedures, functions, packages, and database triggers.
Students use iSQL*Plus to develop these program units. Students also learn to manage PL/SQL program units and
database triggers, to manage dependencies, to manipulate large objects, and to use some of the Oracle-supplied packages.
This course counts towards the Hands-on course requirement for the Oracle 9i Database Administrator Certification. Only instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online formats of this course will meet the Certification Hands-on Requirement. Self Study CD-Rom and Knowledge Center courses are excellent study and reference tools but DO NOT meet the Hands-on Requirement for certification.
