In this course we will setup a test environment from scratch by downloading and installing sample oracle database and TOAD.
Once we have our lab fully setup we will then start writing proper PL/SQL syntax.

What You Will Learn in this course:

• How to write PL/SQL syntax
• How to write procedures
• How to create functions
