Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Steven Feuerstein has condensed years of accumulated wisdom and experience into a series of some 120 Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices, these being hints and tips covering a range of topics, all aimed at producing readable and maintainable PL/SQL code, particularly in the context of working in a PL/SQL development team.

While many of the principles involved could apply equally to any structured programming language, Feuerstein addresses the challenges of applying these principles in the PL/SQL programming environment and backs this up with simple code examples.

Some of these best practices are more important that others however Feuerstein identifies the benefits and importance of each best practice and has separately listed the more important (no. 1: "establish and follow clear rules for how to write SQL in your application"--followed by guidelines on how to achieve this).

While this book will probably be of most benefit to the programmer new to PL/SQL, it still contains programming tips and tricks likely to be of use to the experienced PL/SQL programmer too. --Michael O'Connor --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.



Product Description

In this compact book, Steven Feuerstein, widely recognized as one of the world's leading experts on the Oracle PL/SQL language, distills his many years of programming, teaching, and writing about PL/SQL into a set of best practices - recommendations for developing successful applications. Covering the latest Oracle release, "Oracle Database 11g", Feuerstein has rewritten this new edition in the style of his bestselling "Oracle PL/SQL Programming".The text is organized in a problem/solution format, and chronicles the programming exploits of developers at a mythical company called My Flimsy Excuse, Inc., as they write code, make mistakes, and learn from those mistakes-and each other. This book offers practical answers to some of the hardest questions faced by PL/SQL developers, including: What is the best way to write the SQL logic in my application code? How should I write my packages so they can be leveraged by my entire team of developers? And how can I make sure that all my team's programs handle and record errors consistently? "Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices" summarizes PL/SQL best practices in nine major categories: overall PL/SQL application development; programming standards; program testing, tracing, and debugging; variables and data structures; control logic; error handling; the use of SQL in PL/SQL; building procedures, functions, packages, and triggers; and, overall program performance.This book is a concise and entertaining guide that PL/SQL developers will turn to again and again as they seek out ways to write higher quality code and more successful applications. 'This book presents ideas that make the difference between a successful project and one that never gets off the ground. It goes beyond just listing a set of rules, and provides realistic scenarios that help the reader understand where the rules come from. This book should be required reading for any team of Oracle database professionals' - Dwayne King, President, KRIDAN Consulting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant reference to write well designed code, 31 Jan 2002
By A Customer
I think this book is brilliant. Before I bought this book I was writing unstructured code that didnt have a distinct style or standard layout. By using the suggestions in this book my code is now well structured and more efficient due to Steven Feuerstein giving practical examples to back up his suggestions. I also learned a great deal and was able to include new PL/SQL features into my code as this book explained the why rather than the what of using different PL/SQL methods. Not for the absolute beginner, but brilliant for the semi-experienced, a chance to break those old habits and learn to code in a better more structured way. Also its fairly cheap for an I.T. book so well worth buying personal use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for PL/SQL developers, 23 Aug 2001
By A Customer
A good book only for people for have some experience of PL/SQL programming. Steven helps u to write efficient and understandable code. The only disadvantage is that it is not very technical like most of his previous books are. A good buy for people who work with PL/SQL
