| Thousands of application developers and database administrators around the world use software provided by Oracle Corporation to build complex systems that manage vast quantities of data. At the heart of much of Oracle's software is PL/SQL -- a programming language that provides procedural extensions to the SQL relational database language and an ever-growing range of Oracle development tools.
PL/SQL figures prominently as an enabling technology in almost every new product released by Oracle Corporation. Developers can use PL/SQL to perform many kinds of programming functions, including:
-
Implementing crucial business rules in the Oracle Server with PL/SQL-based stored procedures and database triggers
-
Enhancing powerful and easy-to-use GUI interfaces of products like Oracle Developer/2000 with detailed, programmatic control
-
Employing object-oriented design principles in Oracle-based applications
-
Linking a World Wide Web page to an Oracle database
Perhaps most importantly, PL/SQL plays a crucial role in the design of successful client-server applications because it provides the foundation for the code used to distribute processing and transactions across the network. |
