Oracle PL/SQL Programming Fundamentals LiveLessons

Oracle PL/SQL Programming Fundamentals LiveLessons covers the basics of Oracle's language extension for SQL and the Oracle relational database. The focus is to give students with a working knowledge of SQL the ability to develop Oracle procedures, functions, and packages using the PL/SQL language.
In this LiveLessons course, Oracle ACE Director Dan Hotka will teach you how to work with existing code and create new programs. Along the way, you will learn both conditional and looping syntax and techniques, error handling and error processing, plus how to work with script files, procedures, functions and packages (a collection of procedures and functions). This hands-on course also covers how to use the PL/SQL Debugger and the PL/SQL profiler and how to apply PL/SQL performance tips.
