if elseandwhileconditions. - PL/SQL Courses details:
- PL/SQL Delimiters
- The
q'!...'andq'[...]'delimiters allow you to include special characters in your SQL strings.
- The
Oracle PLSQL - Introduction
- Static SQL handles Data Manipulation Language (DML), and Transaction Control commands.
- 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 - Data Types
- Boolean: Represents
TRUEorFALSE. - DATE: Represents a date in the format
15-JAN-09. - BLOB: Represents images.
- VARCHAR2: Represents text strings (e.g., callouts).
- CLOB: Represents large text strings.
- NUMBER: Represents numbers with precision and scale (e.g.,
256120.08). - BFILE: Represents files stored on the operating system.
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 - DELETE Statement
- DELETE removes data from a table.
Oracle PLSQL - MERGE Statement
- MERGE combines INSERT and UPDATE functionalities into a single statement.
Oracle PLSQL - %ROWTYPE
- %ROWTYPE allows you to create a variable that can hold an entire row record by defining a variable to be the same row type as a table.
Oracle PLSQL - IF-ELSE Statements
- IF executes code blocks based on a condition.
- ELSE executes if the
IFcondition is false. - ELSIF provides additional conditions to check when
IFis 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 BYfor 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.
OCI - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
- OCI is a cloud computing platform provided by Oracle.
- Physical Machine (PM) is a physical piece of hardware.
- Virtual Machine (VM) is a software-based simulation of a computer, enabling multiple VMs to run on a single PM.
Advantages of Cloud Infrastructure
- Lower Operational Costs: Reduced hardware, data center, and IT team expenses.
- Global Reach: Access to resources worldwide.
- On-Demand Resources: Scale resources based on demand.
- High Availability: Redundancy and fault tolerance.
- Disaster Recovery: Backup and restoration capabilities.
- Fast Deployment: Rapid resource provisioning and configuration.
- Optimized Performance: Latest technologies and hardware ensure performance.
- Advanced Security Measures: Robust security, including encryption, network security, and regular updates.
- Compliance: Adherence to industry standards and regulations.
- Remote Access: Access from anywhere with internet connectivity.
- Reduced IT Management: Offload infrastructure management to cloud providers.
- Energy Efficiency: Optimized data centers for sustainability.
- Resource Optimization: Reduced carbon footprint.
Key Layers of OCI Architecture
- Regions and Availability Domains (ADs): Geographical locations with multiple ADs for high availability.
- Virtual Cloud Network (VCN): Private network within OCI.
- Compute Layer: Virtual machines and Bare Metal instances to run applications.
- Storage Layer: Store data, including block storage, object storage, and file storage.
- Database Layer: Oracle Autonomous Database and other database services.
- Networking Layer: Connect resources and manage traffic flows.
- Security Layer: Protection for your data and applications.
- Management and Monitoring Layer: Tools for monitoring, management, and automation.
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.
SaaS (Software as a Service)
- Ready-to-use software applications delivered over the internet.
- Accessible through a web browser without the need for installation or setup.
- Vendors manage maintenance, upgrades, support, security, and other aspects.
- Examples: Google Workspace (Drive, Email, etc.).
