Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Programming [With CDROM]

This is a very good book that seems to cover most of the PL/SQL language. There are lots of great examples, but quite a number of the code examples, provided on CD, will not compile due to various errors (bad column names, datatype mismatches, etc). I was able to fix some of the errors, but not all, leaving me with lots of questions.

Simaply the best reference book for Oracle PL/SQL, I highly recomment this book to new users. Over all this is nice book to read and i recommend this to all my collegues and friends. Paper quality is Good and examples could have been better in terms of more elaboration as this is a new Oracle technologies book.

Hello Oracle users. Oracle 8i pl/sql programming book is a very good reference book but if you have learned pl/sql using the Oracle 8 pl/sql programming book in the past then this book is not a good buy. Poor coverage of Java related programming and implementation in Oracle 8i database version. I would strongly recommend if you are planning on learning Java with Oracle then maybe you want to take a look at "Oracle 8i SQLJ programming book" also published by Oracle press. Most of this book is copy of Oracle 8 pl/sql programming book with few modified examples. Since I like Oracle 8 Pl/Sql programming book I will give this book also 4 stars.

This book explains Oracle8i PL/SQL features and could be used as guide or reference. Advanced Queueing, work with Blobs and many other packages are explained.
