One of the Best
12 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
The book is indeed worth the money (if your boss is paying :). I have never seen so many PL/SQL techniques and close-to-real-life examples before. I was starting a new project involving extensive PL/SQL programming, and although I had 3-year experience, I've found myself working with the book on my keyboard. There are some quite important tips I could never suggest - e.g. like sysdate usage. But of course there are some questions that the book doesn't anwser, for example how to implement error log that survives a rolback. The book is targeted both for DBA's and developers, a concept is a little bit new for me.

A Culmination of Best Practices and Useful Tips
10 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
The book is easily worth the price and is an excellent reference volume. It provides standards for best practices for developers of PL/SQL applications, from naming conventions to commenting the source code. This is something that every Oracle developer and DBA should read and try to apply to their environments. The book covers many of the new features of Oracle8i and provides ample examples. The one complaint I have, and it was echoed by some of my associates, was that their was no disk or CD accompanying the book. The authors refer to the examples by file name but there is no disk or CD to get the files from. Presumedly, the examples are available from the Oracle Press Osborne web site. But a disk should have been included for those users who may not have access to the internet.
Aside from this, the book is excellent reading for DBAs and developers and is crammed with information. It includes a history of Oracle and PL/SQL that some may not be aware of, as well as the major features of each version of PL/SQL, from version 1.0 through 8.1. For me it was a brief trip down memory lane, for I cut my teeth on version 1.0 of PL/SQL. The index could be improved a little for better cross referencing, but the coverage of Oracle topics is first rate.
As a DBA and developer, I found the book invaluable and it is one of the books that I recommend to clients and associates. (Here's a tip: Tell your associates to get their own copy.) The book is written in a near conversational tone and far from the dry, antiseptic tone of Oracle's own manuals. Maybe Oracle should get the TUSC guys to write their manuals. The books is nothing less than what I have come to expect from the people at TUSC.

21 Oct 1999

I picked up this book a few weeks ago and so far so good. It has a great deal of USEFULL practical examples. Time will tell if it is really the best reference out there, but I have learned a great deal from it already.
