ORACLE 11G COURSE OUTLINE

Oracle Database 11g: Introduction to SQL

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In this course students learn the concepts of relational databases. This course provides the

essential SQL skills that allow developers to write queries against single and multiple tables,

manipulate data in tables, and create database objects. Students learn to control privileges at

the object and system level. This course covers creating indexes and constraints, and altering

existing schema objects. Students also learn how to create and query external tables.

Students learn to use the advanced features of SQL in order to query and manipulate data

within the database, use the dictionary views to retrieve metadata and create reports about

their schema objects. Students also learn some of the date-time functions available in the

Oracle Database. This course discusses how to use the regular expression support in SQL. In

this course, students use Oracle SQL Developer/Toad as the main development tool. SQL*Plus

is introduced as an optional development tool.
