Summary

We toured the fundamentals of PL/SQL programming. Starting with a small flashback on evolution of PL/SQL, we understood its working with Oracle Development tools such as SQL Developer and SQL*Plus.

We had an overview of cursor handling and major Oracle schema objects such as procedures, functions, and packages. Thereafter, we refreshed the error management in PL/SQL through exception handlers using server-defined, user-defined, and dynamic exceptions.

In the upcoming chapters, we will discuss programming guidelines and advanced PL/SQL concepts in details. In the next chapter, we will cover cursor handling in detail and usage guidelines for various types of cursors.

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.
