This 3 day course gives an introduction to ORACLE PL/SQL, an application development environment that enables the writing of stored procedures, functions and triggers using both SQL and PL/SQL commands.

The course takes the format of a workshop, with a mix of lecture, working examples and practical exercises. Although the content may be customised, at least 2 days are needed to cover the core elements.

Full course notes are provided along with sample database files, example SQL files and free software tools for use in accessing an ORACLE database.
