Oracle SQL - Basic: 3 Days 70% Lecture, 30% Lab Basic Level

Oracle SQL - Basic
3 days 70% Lecture, 30% Lab Basic Level Overview SQL (Structured Query Language) is the universal language used to interact with all commercial relational database management systems (RDBMSs). The Oracle SQL - Basic course incorporates lecture, labs and practical exercises to teach students relational database fundamentals and Oracle SQL programming skills. Topics covered include RDBMS clientserver operations, data tables, referential integrity, and the Oracle SQL language to include simple and complex data definition and data manipulation language. The course shows the general syntax of each statement according to Oracle SQL and follows with numerous examples of various uses of each statement. Each example is shown in the standard ANSI SQL format and Oracle format to show that most of the language is completely portable but that there are some proprietary differences. Benefits Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to understand and use Oracle SQL to: create new tables insert new data into the tables modify or delete existing data retrieve data according to specified selection criteria retrieve related data from several tables in a single query. Intended Audience This course is recommended for database application programmers and system administrators, database designers and system architects, programmers, data analysts, power end users, and managers interested in gaining an ability to create Oracle SQL queries. Prerequisites Students should have general computer programming background. Developer The course was developed by Deac Lancaster. Deac has over 36 years of teaching experience and is the author of Transact-SQL Desk Reference, Prentice Hall, 2003.
