The Oracle Database: SQL Workshop I Ed 3 course offers students an introduction to Oracle Database 12c database technology. The
students are also introduced to Oracle Database Exadata Express Cloud Service. In this class students learn the concepts of relational databases and the powerful SQL programming language.
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.
Learn To:- Identify what a SQL statement is.
- Understand the Oracle Relational Database.
- Use SQLDeveloper.
- Write reports using SQL Statements.
- Manipulatedata in relational tables and save the data.
Benefits To You
Students use Oracle SQL Developer as the main environment tool for writing SQL. SQL*Plus is introduced as an optional tool. Demonstrations and
hands-on practice reinforce the fundamental concepts.
