Anatomy of a SQL statement SQL is a declarative, English-like domain language for querying, analyzing, and manipulating data. SQL originated from relational databases but has since seen wide adoption outside of them. Because SQL statements can almost be read as English sentences and its declarative nature, that is, users declare what results they want and not how to get to these results (the latter is the approach of imperative programming languages, such as C, Java, Python, etc), SQL is generally seen as one of the best high-level languages for analyzing data due to its easy-to-learn syntax.

Want to check if you can convert a value to another data type in Oracle Database?

Use

VALIDATE_CONVERSION ( <val> AS <data type>, <format> )

If <val> matches the format for the type it returns 1 else 0

The format mask is optional; if you omit this it uses your session's NLS settings

I will probably check the quizzes, I just don't want to play ranked anymore.

Today I decided to stop playing the quiz on devgym.oracle.com after playing for over 14 years, when it was the PL/SQL Challenge. Not that I don't like it, I just can't set my mind to it. Hope everybody else will keep playing and learning.

Have fun. Great tour.
