This course builds upon the prerequisite introductory volume from the Oracle Database 12c: SQL Expert Series and considers intermediate-level SQL topics such as writing database queries using the SQL-99 syntax and exploiting the power of built-in functions that extend the capabilities of SQL.

You will learn how to complete of an application schema definition by creating database objects such as relational views, sequences, synonyms, indexes and others to compliment the table definitions. The crucial topic of data integrity and how this is protected using declarative constraints is covered.

With this course we will also leave the idyllic realm of the learning environment and begin to explore such practical real-world considerations as database object security and database performance.

The audience for this course is all Oracle professionals, both business and systems professionals. Among the specific groups for whom this course will be helpful are:

• Business and non-IT professionals
• Application designers and developers
• Business Intelligence (BI) analysts and consumers
• Database administrators
• Web server administrators
