CTP 147 - PL-SQL Programming

3 credit hours - Two hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory weekly; one term.
Formerly CSI 182 - PL-SQL Programming

Learn the principles of database programming using PL/SQL language to access and manipulate data in a database. Learn stored procedures, functions, packages and database triggers. Learn key skills required for declaring variables and trapping exceptions. This course is the second in the series of Oracle database administration courses. Lab fee $35.

Prerequisite(s): CTP 145 with a grade of C or better or permission of the CTP department chair.

Note: Typically offered OL; fall term.
