You can read and learn about pl/sql language using simple tutorials with syntax and examples.
About PL/SQL language!
The PL/SQL language is an extension of SQL language developed by Oracle Corporation and the full name it is the Procedural Language/Structured Query Language.
The PL/SQL language is a procedural programming language which allows data manipulation and sql query to be included in blocks. PL/SQL can be used to group multiple instructions in a single block and sending the entire block to the server in a single call.
The main sections on language PL/SQL are:
Data Types – used to declare variables, the basic data types are: number, varchar2, date, clob.
DML Statements – SQL statements like insert, update, delete.
Select Query – contains the main keywords used in SQL queries: where, group by, having, in, order by.
Table Joins – shows the ways to join several tables together.
Stored Procedures – learn how to create and use a stored procedure.
Functions – contains the list with Oracle PL/SQL functions.
Collections and Records – shows how to define and use a collection or record in a database.
Cursors – explain what a cursor is, the types of cursors and how they are used.

PL/SQL is composed of logical blocks, the main types of blocks are:
– Anonymous blocks are block unnamed and not forming the body of a procedure, function or trigger;
– Blocks of type function and procedure;
– Blocks trigger – contains the PL/SQL code to be executed when certain actions or events occurring in the database;
– Nested blocks – used to handle errors.
