ORACLE PLSQL TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS WITH EXAMPLES

Looking at the SHUTDOWN command, the following syntax applies. Once again the default is highlighted.
SHUTDOWN [ NORMAL | TRANSACTIONAL | IMMEDIATE | ABORT ];
The NORMAL option waits for users to disconnect, does not allow new connections, forcibly rolls back currently running transacti[r]

Relational . Any two tables can be linked irrespective of hierarchical placement. Therefore, any table can be accessed directly without hav- ing to access child tables through a hierarchy or network of parent tables. Relatively complex and efficient data structures can be created with the re[r]

GET_TIME function
This function returns the number of 100ths of seconds which have elapsed from an arbitrary time. Without GET_TIME, Oracle functions can only record and provide elapsed time in second intervals, which[r]

24.4.2.1 The Internal SQL Implicit Cursor
The results of the most recently executed implicit cursor are stored in an internal Oracle cursor called SQL. Note how the first example uses SQL%NOTFOUND to decide on executing the INSERT statement. The block begins by updating all rows in the ARTI[r]

C.5 DBMS_ JOB
The DBMS_ JOB package provides a way for you to schedule jobs from within the Oracle RDBMS. A job is a call to a single stored procedure. You can submit a job to run once or on a recurring basis. Once a job has been submitted, you can check on the status of the job by[r]

18.2 CREATE TABLE Syntax
The syntax of the CREATE TABLE command is highly complex at first glance in Oracle documentation. However, the focus of this book is on Oracle SQL and not database administration. Database administration functionality for the CREATE TABLE command inclu[r]

Let’s examine syntax and demonstrate what Oracle means by analytics. We will use a SUM function. In short, the SUM function adds things up, and everyone knows what that means. We could use something like a STD- DEV[r]

Another method of updating data is to use subqueries. For example, let’s say you want to update ARTIST_COUNTRY column values in TEST- MUSICCD with data[r]

an abstract data type, or ADT, is something we apply -- or should apply -- in every single one of our application efforts, sometimes without even realizing that we are doing it. An abstract data type is a collection of information and operations that act on that information. An ADT can represent[r]

Here, the dm_convert function uses nested anonymous blocks, each with its own exception section, to trap a date conversion failure and pass it on to the next format. The sequence and variety of masks used dictate the range of valid user input and the precedence[r]

The reliance on logical and rational thought in programming is one reason that it is so easy for a developer to learn a new programming language. As long as you can take the statement of a problem and develop a logical solution step by step, the particulars of a language are secondary.

I've lost count of how many times I've heard the question "Can I call whatever from within Oracle?" Typically, whatever is a program that interacts with the external environment: sending email, polling

The tools listed in the previous section provide varying levels of detail and granularity; however, they all do require some effort -- often on the part of a person other than the PL/SQL developer in need -- to get them enabled. And then they require even more effort to interpret results. Don't ge[r]
