    • Dynamic SQL handles Data Definition Language (DDL).
    • SET SERVEROUTPUT ON enables output to the console.
    • DECLARE starts a PL/SQL block.
    • BEGIN and END enclose code blocks.
    • DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE prints output to the console.

    Oracle PLSQL - Variables

    • DECLARE is used to declare variables.
    • Local Variables are declared inside blocks and only accessible within those blocks.
    • Global Variables are declared outside blocks and accessible throughout the code.
    • %TYPE allows you to declare a variable with the same data type as a specific column in a table.

    Oracle PLSQL - INSERT Statements

    • INSERT adds a single row to a table.
    • INSERT ALL inserts multiple rows into a table in a single statement.

    Oracle PLSQL - UPDATE Statement

    • UPDATE changes data in existing rows.

    Oracle PLSQL - IF-ELSE Statements

    • IF executes code blocks based on a condition.
    • ELSE executes if the IF condition is false.
    • ELSIF provides additional conditions to check when IF is false.

    Oracle PLSQL - Implicit/Explicit Cursors

    • Implicit Cursors are automatically created for simple SELECT statements.
    • Explicit Cursors are manually created for complex queries or when additional cursor operations are needed.

    Oracle PLSQL - ORDER BY and Cursors

    • Use ORDER BY for sorting data returned in a cursor.
    • CURSOR is used to store the result of a SELECT statement and allows to navigate through the rows returned by the query.

    Cloud Solution Comparison: Multi-Cloud vs. Hybrid Cloud

    • Multi-Cloud:

      • Use Cases: Using best-of-breed services from different cloud providers, distributing workloads for redundancy, avoiding vendor lock-in.
      • Strategic Goals: Flexibility in choosing services, risk mitigation, performance optimization, cost optimization.
      • Management and Tools: Managing, monitoring, and securing multiple cloud environments, interoperation and consistency across platforms.

    • Hybrid Cloud:

      • Use Cases: Maintaining on-premises infrastructure due to regulatory, security, or latency requirements, bursting into the public cloud during peak times, gradual cloud migration.
      • Strategic Goals: Seamless integration with existing systems, meeting regulatory requirements, efficient handling of variable workloads.
      • Management and Tools: Integration, data synchronization, workload portability between on-premises and cloud environments, unified management platforms.
