SQL Training Courses
What is SQL?
SQL is Structured Query Language, pronounced 'sequel' or by its letters, SQL is a language specifically written for Users, Developers
and Administrators to communicate with a Database. SQL can be used for querying records from the Database, inserting and updating
records as well as creating objects. Objects can be as simple as Tables, Views or Sequences, or as sophisticated as the Database itself.
By its very name, its structure is very formalised and has strict programming conventions, its syntax will seem pretty unforgiving to
the User attempting to learn the SQL language without proper guidance and training.
SQL Training from Seer Computing

Oracle Developer Training Courses
What is PLSQL?
PLSQL or Procedural Language SQL is essentially Oracle's extended programming language created to allow Developers to perform tasks
not normally possible with one single SQL statement. This includes techniques such as
looping, error handling, validation and sophisticated inserting and updating of Database records.
In addition, PLSQL is used to create Database program units such as Triggers, Procedures and Functions, essential objects to
ensure Database integrity.
What is Oracle Forms?
Oracle Forms is a front end application designed to give Developers total control over Users and their access to an Oracle Database.
Originally created with simple top down data fields for Users to query, create and amend records, latest versions of the product contains
elements such as Tree Hierarchies, Check boxes, Radio Groups.
Complete systems can be built using Oracle Forms and Reports, and a lot of the functionality within Oracle Forms is created using
built-in PLSQL objects, We therefore recommend the delegates attend the Essential PLSQL course before taking an Oracle Forms course.
Since version 9i of Oracle Forms the product can only be run via a web browser, necessitating the use of Oracle's Application Server,
Forms 6i can be used via the browser or installed on individual user's PCs
What is Oracle Reports?
Oracle Reports is a product designed to produce reports from an Oracle Database with accuracy and consistency, no matter how many times
it is run or against any size Database.
A sophisticated program, Oracle Reports can be programmed to produce output in a variety of different styles from printable text to XML.
In addition by using the build-in PLSQL, changes can be made to the Database when a report is run for auditing purposes for example.
Oracle Discoverer Training Courses
What is Discoverer?
Discoverer is an ad hoc reporting tool produced by Oracle to allow Users to access the Database using a GUI front end similar in
style to Microsoft Excel, although with increased functionality similar in structure to SQL.
Oracle Discoverer can be rolled out to Users by using the
'Plus'
version (accessed with a browser which needs the
use of the Oracle Application Server) or by using
'Desktop', installed on individual's PCs.
No previous experience of Databases or SQL is needed to learn to use Oracle Discoverer, however some aspects of the Discoverer product
are easier to use (or dont have to rely on the Administrator) if the User has some SQL knowledge.
Although ad hoc at the User side, Oracle Discoverer needs to be set up and maintained by a Discoverer Administrator using
the Discoverer Administrator product to control access and the view of the Database for Users using an End User Layer.
