In the Oracle Database: Advanced PL/SQL course, students learn how to use the advanced features of PL/SQL in order to design and tune PL/SQL to interface with the database and integrate with the other applications in the most efficient manner. They learn to write powerful PL/SQL programs using external C/Java routines, fine-grained access packages, cursors, extended interfaces and collections.
Students will benefit from using advanced features of program design, packages, cursors, extended interface methods, and collections and students learn how to write powerful PL/SQL programs.
Programming efficiency, use of external C and Java routines, PL/SQL server pages, and fine-grained access are covered. Students learn how to write PL/SQL routines that analyze the PL/SQL applications and caching techniques that can improve performance.
Students are introduced to the Virtual Private Database (VPD) to implement security policies and they learn techniques and tools to strengthen their applications against SQL injection attacks.
