Application Development

Application development for Oracle databases using a wide range of programming technologies.

The 2 Day + books walk through the process of creating a basic application in various programming languages. The supporting documentation covers the languages, programming interfaces, and development tools in detail.

Essentials

The 2 Day Developer's Guide introduces basic technologies and concepts used in Oracle application development, for all programming languages.

Each 2 Day + Developer's Guide describes using a different development platform and these basic technologies to implement the same sample application: a Web-based application for viewing and modifying employee data for an imaginary company named "AnyCo Corp".

SQL and PL/SQL Languages

SQL and PL/SQL are fundamental to all Oracle application development. SQL is the language used to query and modify Oracle databases. PL/SQL is used to create and call triggers, stored procedures and functions, and PL/SQL packages. Other programming technologies depend upon SQL and PL/SQL to interact with the Oracle database server.

Database Development Clients

SQL*Plus is a command-line client used for running SQL statements and compiling PL/SQL code. SQL Developer provides all the same capabilities as SQL*Plus, as well as an easy-to-use, powerful drag-and-drop GUI for managing database objects and creating and viewing reports. Oracle also provides extensions for Microsoft's Visual Studio development environment to support developing applications on .NET platforms.
