Additional Practices: Overview
These additional practices are provided as a supplement to the course Oracle Database 10g:
Develop PL/SQL Program Units. In these practices, you apply the concepts that you learned
in the course.
The additional practices comprise two parts:
Part A provides supplemental exercises to create stored procedures, functions, packages, and
triggers, and to use the Oracle-supplied packages with SQL Developer as the development
environment. The tables used in this portion of the additional practice include EMPLOYEES,
JOBS, JOB_HISTORY, and DEPARTMENTS.
Oracle University and ORACLE CORPORATION use only
Part B is a case study that can be completed at the end of the course. This part supplements
the practices for creating and managing program units. The tables used in the case study are
based on a video database and contain the TITLE, TITLE_COPY, RENTAL,
RESERVATION, and MEMBER tables.
An entity relationship diagram is provided at the start of part A and part B. Each entity
relationship diagram displays the table entities and their relationships. More detailed
definitions of the tables and the data contained in them is provided in the appendix titled
“Additional Practices: Table Descriptions and Data.”
