PL/SQL programming & Tuning is an intense hands-on course that is designed to give the student maximum exposure to Oracle PL/SQL. The student learns by doing, and this class has dozens of in-class exercises and the student will be guided from very simple SQL commands to increasingly complex PL/SQL coding techniques.

The topics start with the basics of SQL and progress into increasingly complex queries, including table joins, subqueries and creating Oracle views. The PL/SQL section begins with simple concepts and the student gradually masters PL/SQL through increasingly challenging classroom exercises.

Easy Oracle PL/SQL Programming:

John Garmany

ISBN 0-9759135-7-3

This course is designed for practicing Oracle professionals who have basic experience with SQL and the use of a relational database. Prior experience with Oracle is not required, but experience using SQL with a relational database is highly desirable.

This course was designed by Donald K. Burleson, an acknowledge leader in Oracle database administration. Burleson has over a decade of real-world DBA experience in Oracle features and shares his Oracle secrets in this intense hands-on Oracle PL/SQL training.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course the student will be able to write advanced PL/SQL code blocks, and will be able to use advanced features such as ref cursors and bulk fetches. The student will also become familiar with the internals of Oracle9i PL/SQL and will be able to compile PL/SQL for super-fast performance.
