Summary

Over the years, PL/SQL has matured a great deal and has produced a vast library of objects, features, and standards. This chapter focused on giving a quick summary of PL/SQL programming. It assumed readers were familiar with database programming concepts and provided enough substance to get them ready for the forthcoming chapters. It would have been a tough call to build a glossary of PL/SQL objects in a single chapter.

We started with an overview of PL/SQL fundamentals, block structure, and exception handling. Additionally, this chapter threw light on cursor handling in PL/SQL, the CURSOR FOR loop, and schema objects such as procedures, functions, and packages. In forthcoming chapters, we will focus on the key faculties of the PL/SQL language as well as Oracle Database 12c features.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
