PL/SQL

How to use Oracle SQL Developer and other tools

Overview: PL/SQL is Oracle’s procedure language that allows you to code loops, if-else structures, and error-handling structures to build more complex scripts. That, in turn, allows you to manage transactions that maintain data integrity in a database. And it allows you to create stored procedures, functions, and triggers - named blocks of PL/SQL code that are stored in the database for ready access.
