Oracle: Programming with PL/SQL I Training Course

This three-day course provides an introduction to Oracle PL/SQL, an application development environment that enables the writing of stored procedures, functions, and triggers using both SQL and PL/SQL commands. The course is designed to enhance skills for government professionals working with Oracle databases.

The format of the course includes a mix of lectures, working examples, and practical exercises. While the content can be customized to meet specific needs, at least two days are required to cover the core elements necessary for government applications.

Full course notes are provided along with sample database files, example SQL files, and free software tools for use in accessing an Oracle database for government purposes.

PL/SQL (Procedural Language/SQL) is Oracle’s extension to SQL that enables developers to write procedural logic directly within the database.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level developers and technical professionals who wish to develop robust PL/SQL programs, manage exceptions effectively, and create reusable procedures, functions, and packages in Oracle Database.

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

• Create PL/SQL blocks, procedures, and functions to encapsulate business logic for government applications.
• Utilize control structures, cursors, and exception handling with precision.
• Define and manage packages, triggers, and stored logic securely in compliance with public sector standards.
• Debug and test PL/SQL code using standard Oracle tools to ensure reliability and performance for government operations.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion tailored to government needs.
• Extensive exercises and practice sessions aligned with public sector workflows.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment designed for government use cases.
