Description
PL/SQL is the programming language used to build powerful applications on top of Oracle databases. This course provides a clear and practical path to understanding how PL/SQL works and how it is used in database development.

Throughout the course, you will work with essential concepts such as PL/SQL blocks, variables, conditional logic, loops, and cursors. The course also covers important database programming components including exception handling, procedures, functions, packages, and triggers.

In addition, several advanced PLSQL topics are explored, including collections and bulk processing techniques such as FORALL and LIMIT, which are commonly used for performance optimization in Oracle environments.

You will also see how different PL/SQL components work together to build structured and maintainable database programs. The course walks through practices and code examples that reflect common tasks performed when working with Oracle databases. These examples help demonstrate how PL/SQL features are used to process data, automate logic, and organize database code.

Each topic is presented in a clear and practical way so that you can follow the concepts and see how they are applied when writing PL/SQL programs. The goal of the course is to provide a solid understanding of PL/SQL and how it is used in Oracle database environments.

The course focuses on practical examples so you can see how these concepts are applied when writing real PL/SQL programs.

Note: Basic knowledge of SQL is required.
