About the Authors Full Description Reviews Reader reviews Full Description Colophon Copyright PL/SQL, Oracle's programming language for stored procedures, delivers a world of possibilities for your database programs. PL/SQL supplements the standard relational database language, SQL, with a wide range of procedural features, including loops, IF-THEN statements, advanced data structures, and rich transactional control--all closely integrated with the Oracle database server. Knowing where to start with Oracle's procedural language is not always obvious to a newcomer, especially considering the language's feature set and the sheer size of the official documentation (not to mention Oracle's ever-increasing number of pre-built PL/SQL programs). But Learning Oracle PL/SQL offers the signposts and guidance you need to come up to speed on the language, delivered in a manageable number of pages while covering all the essentials. Topics include: ● PL/SQL--what is it, and why use it? Why use PL/SQL instead of Java? file:///E|/O'Reilly/O'Reilly%20-%20Learning%20Oracle%20PLSQL/default.html (1 of 4) [15/05/2002 22:43:01] Learning Oracle PL/SQL | © 2002 O'Reilly | by KnowledgeLiberation www.it-ebooks.info ● Syntax and examples of all core language constructs ● Creating, using, and reusing stored procedures, functions, and packages ● Building web-based applications using PL/SQL features available "out of the box" (such as PL/SQL Server Pages) ● Securing PL/SQL programs against attack ● Benefits of third-party developer tools and integrated development environments ● Connecting PL/SQL to email, Java, and the Internet Meticulously crafted with all-new examples downloadable from examples.oreilly.com/learnoracle, the book addresses language features available in all versions of Oracle, from Oracle7 to Oracle8i to Oracle9i. Learning Oracle PL/SQL was written by PL/SQL experts Bill Pribyl and Steven Feuerstein, whose easy-to-read style and attention to detail has made other O'Reilly books (such as the bestselling Oracle PL/SQL Programming) very popular among Oracle developers worldwide. Learning Oracle PL/SQL is meant for a wide range of target audiences, including both beginning programmers and those already experienced with other programming languages. Whether you are a new developer, a crossover programmer from another database system, or a new database administrator who needs to learn PL/SQL, this book will get you well on your way. It is the perfect introduction to Oracle PL/SQL Programming, also by Pribyl and Feuerstein. About the Authors Bill Pribyl Bio to be posted soon Steven Feuerstein is considered one of the world's leading experts on the Oracle PL/SQL language.

Reviews "As someone who knows C, Perl, and Java, I found this to be a great starter book in PL/SQL. It gave me the core knowledge I needed for a jump-start into PL/SQL programming. This is a great book for anybody wanting to learn PL/SQL programming for Oracle!" --Bill Phillips, System Engineer, Diverse Networks "As a project manager for an IT consulting firm, I needed to go beyond basic SQL and leverage the efficiency and versatility of PL/SQL. After searching in vain for an introduction to PL/SQL that required no prior programming experience, I've finally found a book that is truly for the beginner. This book provides thorough explanations of the sample code in plain English, written so that I can understand why the programs work. It's the next best thing to sitting down with someone for a private tutorial." --Corrie Nettles, former consultant at Baker Robbins & Co., and Oracle Certified Professional in database administration Readers Reviews December 06, 2001 Rating: No one can write PL/SQL better than Steven Feuerstein. If you can not understand/program PL/SQL after reading this book you can consider a carrier change. Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in learning Oracle Programming .
