ITI588 Programming with PL/SQL (8)

Abstract

This subject 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 anonymous PL/SQL blocks, stored procedures, and functions. Students will also learn to develop stored procedures, functions, packages and database triggers, manage PL/SQL program units, manage dependencies, manipulate large objects, and use some of the Oracle-supplied packages.
