Introduction to Oracle 11g SQL Programming

In Bascom Bridge’s Introduction to Oracle 11g SQL Programming training, students learn how to create, retrieve, and manipulate objects in Oracle 11g Structured Query Language (SQL). Students will also be introduced to Oracle 11g database features and tools.

ORACLE SQL TRAINING OBJECTIVES

• Write SELECT statements
• Use Scalar functions
• Join tables
• Use aggregate functions
• Manipulate data
• Create and use transactions
• Use data definition and control statements

ORACLE SQL TRAINING PREREQUISITES

No prior experience is presumed.

ORACLE SQL TRAINING MATERIALS

All students receive comprehensive courseware and a related textbook.

SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR EACH PC:

• A complete installation of Oracle Express Edition 11g
• Oracle SQL Developer
• For classes delivered online, all participants need either dual monitors or a separate device logged into the online session so that they can do their work on one screen and watch the instructor on the other. A separate computer connected to a projector or large screen TV would be another way for students to see the instructor’s screen simultaneously with working on their own.
