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.

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.
