Oracle PL/SQL Programming

Uplatz offers comprehensive training on Oracle PL-SQL. This is video-based online course (self-paced training). You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

Oracle PL/SQL is an extension of SQL language, specifically speaking it is Procedural language extension to Structured Query Language, and is designed for seamless processing of SQL statements enhancing the security, portability, and robustness of the database. PL/SQL embraces and enhances the SQL statements within its syntax. PL/SQL program units are compiled by the Oracle Database server and stored inside the database. And at run-time, both PL/SQL and SQL run within the same server process, bringing optimal efficiency. PL/SQL automatically inherits the robustness, security, and portability of the Oracle Database.

SQL stands for Structured Query Language i.e. used to perform operations on the records stored in database such as inserting records, updating records, deleting records, creating, modifying and dropping tables, views etc.

PL/SQL is a combination of SQL along with the procedural features of programming languages. It was developed by Oracle Corporation in the early 90's to enhance the capabilities of SQL. PL/SQL is one of three key programming languages embedded in the Oracle Database, along with SQL itself and Java.
PL/SQL is a powerful, yet straightforward database programming language. It is easy to both write and read, and comes packed with lots of out-of-the-box optimizations and security features.

This Oracle PL/SQL training by Uplatz will give you great understanding on PL/SQL to work with Oracle database and other advanced RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) concepts.
The PL/SQL online programming, features, and database tuning course explains important aspects of PL SQL language like block structure, data types, packages, triggers, exception handling, etc.

PL/SQL tutorial provides basic and advanced concepts of SQL. Our PL/SQL tutorial is designed for beginners and professionals. PL/SQL is a block structured language that can have multiple blocks in it.

The Oracle PL/SQL training includes all topics of PL/SQL language such as conditional statements, loops, arrays, string, exceptions, collections, records, triggers, functions, procedures, cursors etc. There are also given PL/SQL interview questions and quizzes to help you better understand the PL/SQL language.
