Oracle PL/SQL Training in Christchurch

This instructor-led, live training in Christchurch (online or onsite) is aimed at advanced-level developers and database administrators who wish to use PL/SQL to develop high-performing, secure, and scalable database solutions while leveraging advanced programming techniques and integrations.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Work with complex data types, collections, and bulk operations for efficient data management.
• Develop object types, table functions, and custom aggregates to enhance database functionality.
• Apply performance tuning techniques, use native compilation, and safeguard against SQL injection.
• Implement application contexts, VPD, and secure program units for robust database solutions.

This instructor-led, live training in Christchurch (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level developers and database administrators who wish to learn PL/SQL to automate database tasks, implement business logic, and develop robust database applications.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Develop efficient PL/SQL programs to automate database operations and integrate SQL commands effectively.
• Create reusable program units, including procedures, functions, packages, and triggers, for modular and scalable applications.
• Implement advanced data structures like associative arrays and manage query results using cursors.
• Handle errors robustly and secure code with encryption, obfuscation, and conditional compilation techniques.
• Apply PL/SQL in real-world scenarios, leveraging built-in packages for file handling, email automation, and other advanced functionalities.

This instructor-led, live training in Christchurch (available online or on-site) is tailored for intermediate-level database administrators seeking a comprehensive understanding of Oracle Database 19c PL/SQL programming and advanced SQL methodologies.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp the fundamentals and advanced capabilities of PL/SQL.
• Construct advanced SQL queries to efficiently retrieve and manipulate data.
• Implement PL/SQL programming constructs to manage data and database operations.
• Optimise SQL queries for enhanced performance.
• Utilise advanced PL/SQL features such as collections, bulk processing, and error handling.
• Effectively debug and manage PL/SQL programmes.

PL/SQL (Procedural Language/SQL) is Oracle's extension to SQL that enables developers to write procedural logic directly within the database.

This instructor-led, live training (available online or on-site) is designed for intermediate-level developers and technical professionals who wish to write robust PL/SQL programs, manage exceptions, and create reusable procedures, functions, and packages in Oracle Database.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create PL/SQL blocks, procedures, and functions to encapsulate business logic.
• Effectively use control structures, cursors, and exception handling.
• Define and securely manage packages, triggers, and stored logic.
• Debug and test PL/SQL code using standard Oracle tools.

Course Format

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Extensive exercises and practice opportunities.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

This instructor-led, live training in Christchurch (available online or on-site) is designed for intermediate-level developers and administrators who wish to build a solid foundation in PL/SQL programming to create efficient and robust database applications using Oracle 19c.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of PL/SQL and its advantages over standard SQL.
• Learn how to declare and utilise variables and various data types within PL/SQL blocks.
• Apply control structures such as IF-THEN-ELSE, CASE statements, and loops to develop robust PL/SQL programs.
• Understand and implement both explicit and implicit cursors for data retrieval.
• Effectively handle exceptions using predefined and user-defined exception mechanisms.
• Develop and manage triggers to automate and enforce business rules.
• Create and utilise PL/SQL packages to encapsulate and modularise code for reuse and maintainability.

This three-day course introduces ORACLE PL/SQL, an application development environment that enables the creation of stored procedures, functions, and triggers using both SQL and PL/SQL commands.

The course is structured as a workshop, blending lectures, working examples, and hands-on exercises. While the content can be tailored to specific needs, a minimum of two days is required to cover the core elements.

Comprehensive course notes are provided, along with sample database files, example SQL scripts, and free software tools to facilitate access to an ORACLE database.
