This is exactly what developer needs to read. The book is very useful for me, written in a good style, many practical usage examples.
I'm grateful to Steven Feuerstein, Bill Pribyl, and Amazon.co.uk people ! -
A great book
Rated out of 5 stars, June 12nd, 2009
I've bought this book a few years ago along with the "Oracle Database 10g PL/SQL programming" from Scott Urman, Ron Hardman and Michael Mclaughlin. Comparing these two books, the one from O'Reilly is much more thorough and provides considerably more information about various 'gotchas' and problems related to the topic.
I don't say the other one is not good - I generally do recommend it as an introductory material, and then use the book from O'Reilly for a really thorough study. If you want to buy only one of them, buy this one! -
Sets the standard
Rated out of 5 stars, December 12th, 2008
This was the first book I read on PL/SQL when I became an Oracle developer 15 years ago and as far as I'm concerned, Steven Feuerstein sets the standard. It never ceases to amaze me the sloppy coding that I come across by so called professional developers. If only they read this book then they would be in a different league. in short, every Oracle developer must read this book. -
Oracle PL/SQL
Rated out of 5 stars, February 12th, 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. -
Well-written and very useful
Rated out of 5 stars, April 12rd, 2003
As being quite new to the Oracle-world and PL/SQL I have found this book very useful, both when it comes to learning the opportunuties of PL/SQL and getting advise on how to solve problems. The book is well-organized, easy-read and has many good examples I have benifited from.
