Product Description

Product Description
This text has been thoroughly revised and updated to include the latest Oracle releases - Oracle8i and Oracle9i - the "Internet databases" that communicate with other technologies, such as Java, to run powerful e-commerce applications. Oracle has made substantial changes to the PL/SQL language, and developers who want to take full advantage of its power should find the information they need in this book. This new edition of the book includes all PL/S QL language features up to and including Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2). Regardless of the version you are using, from Oracle 7.3.4 to Oracle 9i, this book will answer your questions. In addition, Oracle PL/SQL Programming now contains much-requested new chapters on Oracle triggers, the internal architecture of PL/SQL in the Oracle database, and the use of PL/SQL with Java. The authors have carefully constructed each chapter of this edition with three objectives: to help you take full advantage of PL/SQL, learn to use PL/SQL to solve your problems, and to write efficient, maintainable code. Beginning with an introduction to PL/SQL programming and continuing through advanced PL/SQL topics, the book covers: PL/SQL language fundamentals; PL/SQL program structure; types of program data; the connection of PL/SQL to the underlying database; application construction; managing your PL/SQL code base; if you're new to PL/SQL, reading this book will improve your skills and help your understanding. If you're already a proficient PL/SQL programmer, you'll be able to extract particular techniques for immediate application. Whether you use this book as a teaching guide or reference, you'll find it will have a significant impact on your ability to use PL/SQL more effectively.

From the Publisher
The first edition of Oracle PL/SQL Programming quickly became an indispensable reference for PL/SQL developers. The second edition focuses on Oracle8, covering Oracle8 object types, object views, collections, and external procedures, as well as new datatypes and functions and tuning, tracing, and debugging PL/SQL programs. The diskette contains an online Windows-based tool with access to more than 100 files of source code. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oracle PL/SQL, 20 Feb 2004
Having been working on Sybase for a long time, we moved to Oracle. Initially I bought the Learning Oracle PL/SQL Programming which turned out to be seriusly lacking in contend and appeared to be more interested in promoting the web side of PLSQL. However, this book has answered every question and stumbling block I have had with re-introducing myself to PL/SQL. Good and numerous examples. Basically 900+ pages of Gems. If you know SQL, but want to learn PL/SQL, bypass the Learning Oracle PL/SQL book and dive into this on. Trust me, you won't regret it, nor will you pocket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very comprehensive PL/SQL book, 31 Oct 2002
This was the first book on PL/SQL that I ever read and is still the best. The authors cover the entire breadth of PL/SQL functionality with enough detail to answer all but the hardest PL/SQL questions.

Now in its 3rd edition. Highly recommended

3.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended for beginners, 7 Jan 1998
By A Customer
1.this book doesn't even list triggers in the table of contents, which means that triggers were not included in that book at all!! 2.i dont know why, but the examples in the book were so different in every page and every chapter. it was really hard to know what the examples were all about. 3.table contents and actual contents do not match sometimes. the author mixes oracle8 features with oracle 7 features while explaining about oracle7 features, which only gave me confusions. 4.the only thing that attracted me was the tips that helped me pretty much.. In conclusion, if you are a beginner to pl/sql, please do not buy this book.
