SQL, PL/SQL Training

database_diagram_fullIn this course student will acquire in depth knowledge to code with SQL (Software Query Language ), PL/SQL (Procedural Language / Structured Query Language). All organization maintains a Database which worked as a repository to fetch and process their business related information. To access and process information SQL commands are used in the database by applying specific statements. PL/SQL is an extension of SQL which makes it easier to write the procedural code including SQL statements.

Students who attend the course will learn the benefit of using PL/SQL blocks. Along with this, they will get a deep understanding of using Explicit Cursors, Handling Exceptions, Constructing and identifying Loop Statements, Writing Control Structures, Creating Stored Procedures and Functions, Creating and Working with Packages and lot more.

After the successful completion of this training, candidates can appear for the Fundamentals (1Z0-144) exam to aim for the Oracle® Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional and Oracle® PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate credentials. These certifications validate an individual’s expertise in handling databases and increase the professional abilities along with enhancing the career opportunities.
