Specific subject areas to be explored and objectives to be reached are:
- A summation of relational database principles and an introduction to the Oracle relational database server.
- Using SQL Developer and other available SQL interfaces.
- Writing simple SQL queries which isolate exactly the data desired, and then format and sort the data as needed.
- Writing moderately complex SQL queries using various join techniques.
- Supplement SQL code with references to pseudo columns and system functions.
- Summarizing, grouping and combining data to obtain more meaningful query results and to allow one to draw conclusions and make business decisions based upon the data processed.
- Advanced query techniques such as set operations, sub-queries and summary functions, allowing one to solve some of the more complex theoretical query challenges.
- Creating and maintaining database tables using the SQL Data Definition Language (DDL).
- Managing data within tables using the SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML).
- Taking advantage of the latest features found within the database such as the use of regular expressions, support for international data, time zones and other topics.
- Learn to use the SQL99 join syntax and learn about the full range of join operations available, such as natural join, inner join, cross join, outer joins and others.
- Perform advanced SQL queries using techniques such as CASE structures, rollup and cube operations.
- Moving beyond basic table definitions, learn to define the full range of database objects, such as advanced table definitions and the creation of indexes, sequences, views and others.
- Use the powerful set of built-in SQL functions. These functions provide sophisticated manipulation of character, numeric and date data elements.
- Taking advantage of the latest features found within the Oracle release, such as the handling and tolerating DML errors without application interruption, newly added functions, and other topics.
- Obtain database object metadata from the data dictionary.
- Understand basic database security and object privileges.
- Protect database integrity and extend the conceptual data model using declarative constraints.
- Using SQL Developer and other available SQL interfaces.
- Develop complex SQL*Plus reports and reusable SQL*Plus scripts, as well as control the SQL*Plus environment.
