Course Overview
This Oracle Database 12c: PL/SQL I – Introduction course is designed to provide students with an introduction to Oracle database programming using the PL/SQL programming language. Students will learn the syntax, structure, and features of the language. This course progresses from introductory topics to advanced application design and programming and finally onto writing complex high-performance applications.
PL/SQL may be considered as one of the basic skill sets required for any Oracle professional, nearly as important as the SQL language itself.
This course considers subjects applicable to certification as both an Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate (OCA) and an Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional (OCP). The topics considered are included within ‘Exam 1Z0-144: Program With PL/SQL.’
