Oracle Training Course

Oracle Training Course by Softcore Technologies is designed to help you understand relational database systems and its applications. Using and working with Structured Query Language (SQL) to interact with RDMS applications and it’s usage in business process applications will be of primary focus.

Training on PL/SQL will also be taken up to help master usage of the programming constructs and syntax available in the RDMS systems.

Data being the key element of any Business Entity, its storage, maintenance and processing will remain of at most importance to industries across verticals.
