Yes its good to start your career with PL/SQL, you can work as Developer. You need to learn SQL, PLSQL, FORMS, REPORTS.
The only thing is, it has a monotonous work down the line in years. You might feel changing or upgrading your skills. Or else you will be working as Developer or Senior Developer or may be manager but only in PLSQL domain. To get a job in this, sometimes being Certified is also important e.g. OCA & OCP which might cost your nothing less than a lac.
Oracle Forms is a software product for creating screens that interact with an Oracle database. It has an IDE including an object navigator, property sheet and code editor that uses PL/SQL. It was originally developed to run server-side in character mode terminal sessions.

We are happy and proud to say that we have strong relationship with over 700+ small, mid-sized and MNCs. Many of these companies have openings for Oracle Forms and Reports analyst. Moreover, we have a very active placement cell that provides 100% placement assistance to our students. The cell also contributes by training students in mock interviews and discussions even after the course completion.

Prerequisite would be just :SQL + PL/SQL + Reports + Forms (which is nothing but Oracle Developer track). And then you need to learn the following topics: AOL & Sys Admin.
- Navigate to the Reports application page in Oracle Enterprise Manager.
- From the Reports menu, select Monitoring > Start Reports Application.
- From the Reports menu, select Administration > Start In-process Reports Server.
Our courseware is designed to give a hands-on approach to the students in Oracle Forms and Reports. The course is made up of theoretical classes that teach the basics of each module followed by high-intensity practical sessions reflecting the current challenges and needs of the industry that will demand the students’ time and commitment.
This means that Reports is not supported in releases before 12c R2, and Reports 12c R2 will only be supported until October 2020, with extended support of 12c R2 available only until October 2023. Enterprises on older versions of Oracle Reports are now unsupported.
- Skill Level. Beginner. We are providing Training to the needs from Beginners level to Experts level.
- Course Duration, 2-3 Months. Course will be right duration with real-time projects and working models.
Identify existing database programs than can be reused by Oracle APEX. Determine how much required business logic is buried within Oracle Forms, generally in triggers, that needs to be reimplemented. Ensure existing rules are still valid and should be incorporated into the new apps.
Oracle Forms and Reports provides the ability to upload existing Forms to review, annotate, and track application logic that needs to be incorporated into the new apps.
Global market of Oracle Forms and Report
Oracle Forms has been one of the most widely used back-office application development technology for more than thirty years. This proven technology has evolved over the years and still remains the technology of choice for thousands of developers worldwide.The new long-awaited Oracle Forms & Reports Release 12.2.1.4.0 is available, this is after 2 years from the previous release of Oracle Forms & Reports.
New features and enhancements:
- Oracle Forms Standalone Launcher Improvements
In this release, we have made the following improvements to the Oracle Forms Standalone Launcher (FSAL).
Single Sign-on Support
Starting with this release, FSAL supports single sign-on (SSO) using Oracle Access Manager.
Improvement of Cache Handling
We have improved cache handling in this release. The algorithm used to determine if a cache update is necessary has been significantly improved thereby improving application startup performance. Locally stored cache is also now stored in uniquely named directories. This will help to prevent applications that share similar JAR names but different content from overwriting each other.
Administrators can now use the new ignoreSaaCache parameter to specify whether the Oracle Forms Standalone Application Launcher (FSAL) should ignore files downloaded from the Forms server and cached on the Java client machine from which the Launcher is being run. For more information on the parameter, see the Working With Oracle Forms guide.
Support for Java Version 11.0.2
The Oracle Forms Standalone Launcher is now compatible with Java versions 11.0.2 (LTS) and later.
- Forms Application Deployment Services Enhancements
In this release, we have made the following improvements to Forms Application Deployment Services (FADS).
Support for WebUtil-enabled Applications
Starting with this release, Oracle Forms Application Deployment Services (FADS) correctly deploys C libraries, such as DLLs for WebUtil-enabled applications.
Enhanced Database Support
In 12.2.1.3, Oracle Forms Application Deployment Services (FADS) was not able to generate PL/SQL modules (PLL) when connecting to a version 12+ database. All databases certified with this Forms release are also supported for use with FADS.
- Increased Allowed Text Length for Text or Display Items
The Maximum Length property for Text and Display items has been changed from 65534 to 2097151.
- Improved WebUtil File Transfer Rate
When transferring files using the file upload and download features of WebUtil, the transfer rate has been increased by as much as 30% for both transfers between the user and middle-tier and between the user and database.
- Updated Database Client Software
This installation includes an update to the database client software installed with Fusion Middleware. The database patch set included is 12.1.0.2.190716. If you execute the opatch lsinventory command, the patch identification number for this update will appear as 29494060 on Linux or Unix and 30220086 on Microsoft Windows
Oracle Report is a tool provided by Oracle Fusion Middleware, which is used to generate reports based on the data stored in the Oracle database. It consists of Oracle Reports Developer, a report designing tool and Oracle Application Server Reports Services. Various types of Report include Tabular.
Oracle Forms is a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware. Oracle Forms is used to develop and deploy Forms applications. The Forms applications provide a user interface to access Oracle Database in an efficient and tightly-coupled way. The applications can be integrated with Java and web services to take advantage of service oriented architectures (SOA).
Oracle Forms includes the following:
- Oracle Forms Developer, used to develop and compile Forms applications.
- Oracle Forms Services, a server component, used to deploy the applications.
1. Oracle Forms Developer
Oracle Forms Developer is used to develop a form that can access an Oracle database and present the data. Wizards and utilities are provided to speed up application development. The source form (*.fmb) is created and compiled into an "executable" (*.fmx). The Forms application is run (interpreted) by the Forms Runtime process.
For more information about the Oracle Forms Developer, refer to the following documentation:
- Oracle Forms Builder Online Help, which is accessible from Oracle Forms Builder, provides information on how to use Oracle Forms Developer to develop and compile Forms applications.
- Upgrading Oracle Forms 6i to Oracle Forms 11g: describes obsolete features of Oracle Forms Developer and instructions for upgrading your Forms applications.
2. Oracle Forms Services
Oracle Forms Services is a comprehensive application framework optimized to deploy Forms applications in a multitiered environment. It takes advantage of the ease and accessibility of the Web and elevates it from a static information-publishing mechanism to an environment capable of supporting complex applications.
The Form applications that you design and develop in Oracle Forms Developer are deployed on Oracle Fusion Middleware. These applications run on the middle tier. The user interface is presented on the client tier as a Java applet in the client's browser.
