Oracle Database: Introduction to SQL

Course details

This course covers creating indexes and constraints, and altering existing schema objects. Additionally, participants learn how to create and query external tables. In order to query and manipulate data within the database, to use the dictionary views to retrieve metadata and create reports about their schema objects, participants get to understand the advanced features of SQL. Some of the date-time functions available in the Oracle Database are also covered. This course also discusses how to use the regular expression support in SQL.

This course is a combination of Oracle Database: SQL Fundamentals I and Oracle Database: SQL Fundamentals II courses.

For this course, the main development tool used is Oracle SQL Developer. SQL*Plus is available as an optional development tool.

This is appropriate for a 10g and 11g audience. There are few minor changes between 10g and 11g features in SQL.

Learn To:

• Create reports of sorted and restricted data
• Run data manipulation statements (DML)
• Control database access to specific objects
• Manage schema objects
• Manage objects with data dictionary views
• Retrieve data from tables.
