Beginners guide Oracle PL/SQL Part 1, Learn Basics of Oracle PL/SQL Part 1, A Crash Course on Oracle PL/SQL Part 1.

Course Description

Course Overview: In this course, we will use Oracle LiveSQL, a free and accessible platform, to practice and hone our PL/SQL skills without the need to install any software. This approach allows us to focus entirely on learning PL/SQL rather than dealing with installation issues.

What You Will Learn:

  1. Introduction to PL/SQL:
    • Understand the basics of PL/SQL and how it integrates with SQL.
    • Learn the advantages of using PL/SQL with Oracle databases.
  2. PL/SQL Blocks and Syntax:
    • Explore the structure of PL/SQL blocks, including anonymous blocks, procedures, and functions.
    • Write and execute your first PL/SQL block.
  3. Control Structures:
    • Master control structures such as IF statements, loops, and CASE statements to create dynamic and flexible code.
  4. SQL in PL/SQL:
    • Learn how to embed SQL statements within PL/SQL blocks for seamless data manipulation.
    • Perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) using PL/SQL.
  5. Error Handling:
    • Implement robust error handling techniques using EXCEPTION blocks.
    • Learn to catch and handle predefined and user-defined exceptions.
  6. Composite Data Types:
    • Explore records and collections to handle complex data structures.
    • Use associative arrays, nested tables, and VARRAYs in your PL/SQL programs.
  7. Practical Examples and Assignments:
    • Gain hands-on experience with practical examples and assignments designed to reinforce your learning.
    • Work through real-world scenarios, such as salary calculations and employee management.

Course Projects: Throughout the course, you will work on several mini-projects:

  • Creating a copy of the employees table and performing operations on it.
  • Inserting, updating, selecting, and deleting records using PL/SQL.
  • Implementing error handling and using cursors for data retrieval.

Course Structure: This course is divided into two parts due to Udemy’s new rule limiting free video length to a maximum of 2 hours. The complete course would take 4-6 hours, so I decided to split it into two parts. Part 2 will be completed by July 15.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of PL/SQL and be able to write efficient and maintainable PL/SQL code for Oracle databases. Whether you are a beginner or looking to enhance your database programming skills, this course is designed to meet your needs. Join us and start your journey to mastering PL/SQL today!
