1Z0-071: Oracle Database SQL

Oracle SQL is the structured query language used to store, retrieve, manage, and analyze data in Oracle Database, one of the most widely used enterprise-grade database systems in the world. It follows ANSI SQL standards while providing powerful Oracle-specific extensions for performance, security, and advanced analytics.

What Oracle SQL Is Used For

  • Querying data from single or multiple tables

  • Managing database objects (tables, views, indexes)

  • Modifying data (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, MERGE)

  • Enforcing data integrity with constraints

  • Creating reports and business queries

  • Supporting enterprise applications (Banking, ERP, Telecom, Govt. systems)

Key Features of Oracle SQL

  • High-performance querying for large datasets

  • Advanced joins & subqueries

  • Analytical (window) functions for reporting

  • Strong data integrity & security controls

  • Scalability for small systems to large enterprises

  • Seamless integration with PL/SQL, Java, .NET, and web apps

Oracle SQL vs PL/SQL

  • SQL: Used to interact with data (what data you want)

  • PL/SQL: Used for programming logic (how to process data)

Note: SQL is the foundation; PL/SQL builds on top of it.

Who Should Learn Oracle SQL

  • Students & fresh graduates

  • Software developers

  • Database administrators (DBA)

  • Banking & enterprise IT professionals

  • Data analysts & MIS officers

  • Oracle certification candidates
