Product Description
Product Description
For the past ten years, O'Reilly's Oracle PL/SQL Programming has been the bestselling book on PL/SQL, Oracle's powerful procedural language. Packed with examples and helpful recommendations, the book has helped everyone--from novices to experienced developers, and from Oracle Forms developers to database administrators--make the most of PL/SQL.
The fourth edition is a comprehensive update, adding significant new content and extending coverage to include the very latest Oracle version, Oracle Database 10g Release 2. It describes such new features as the PL/SQL optimizing compiler, conditional compilation, compile-time warnings, regular expressions, set operators for nested tables, nonsequential collections in FORALL, the programmer-defined quoting mechanism, the ability to backtrace an exception to a line number, a variety of new built-in packages, and support for IEEE 754 compliant floating-point numbers.
The new edition adds brand-new chapters on security (including encryption, row-level security, fine-grained auditing, and application contexts), file, email, and web I/O (including the built-in packages DBMS_OUTPUT, UTL_FILE, UTL_MAIL, UTL_SMTP, and UTL_HTTP) and globalization and localization.
Co-authored by the world's foremost PL/SQL authority, Steven Feuerstein, this classic reference provides language syntax, best practices, and extensive code, ranging from simple examples to complete applications--making it a must-have on your road to PL/SQL mastery. A companion web site contains many more examples and additional technical content for enhanced learning.

Format:Paperback
This was the first book I read on PL/SQL when I became an Oracle developer 15 years ago and as far as I'm concerned, Steven Feuerstein sets the standard. It never ceases to amaze me the sloppy coding that I come across by so called professional developers. If only they read this book then they would be in a different league. in short, every Oracle developer must read this book.
Format:Paperback
The most useful and clear, logical, intelligent guide one could imagine. These 2 guys are serious masters of their art! Buying anything else as the main/sole Oracle PL/SQL guide is unfortunately to my mind a complete waste of money.
Format:Paperback
I've bought this book a few years ago along with the "Oracle Database 10g PL/SQL programming" from Scott Urman, Ron Hardman and Michael Mclaughlin. Comparing these two books, the one from O'Reilly is much more thorough and provides considerably more information about various 'gotchas' and problems related to the topic.
I don't say the other one is not good - I generally do recommend it as an introductory material, and then use the book from O'Reilly for a really thorough study. If you want to buy only one of them, buy this one!
