Summary: Nice Book; Some Organization Limitations
Review: I got this book based on other reviews here. For the most part, I agree that this is a good book, and it has been helpful for me.
However, for someone who has never done Oracle and needing to do Triggers specifically, I find it difficult to find any information about how to do Triggers, special contstucts available for Triggers, etc.
Other technical topics are good, though, and as a novice it helps me greatly to see potential for Oracle application programming.
Index and TOC could be better organized; I usually can't find what I'm looking for in the index.

Summary: Great PL/SQL book for Beginners.
Review: I have no prior knowledge of PL/SQL (and only a little experience with Transact-SQL). With this book in hand for 2 days, I am able to maintain and debug existing PL/SQL stored procedures. This book has easy to understand text, a good index and wonderful examples.

Summary: Feuerstein is The Man
Review: If you have a very narrow bookshelf or shallow pockets this is THE book to buy if you want to know more about PL/SQL. No matter how much you know already, this book will teach you more. I read the first edition from cover to cover and bought the second edition as a reference. I've been writing PL/SQL programs for more than 6 years and I still find this to be a valuable resource. Buy it today!

Summary: Great for beginner to expert
Review: I used this book to write my first Oracle package and have been referring to it ever since. I have some other books but this is the one that invariably has what I am looking for. The book contains a lot of discussion on the reasons for doing things in a particular way which is very helpful.

Summary: PL/SQL Programming by Steve Feuerstein
Review: This is an excellent book on PL/SQL and especially for PL/SQL beginners! .
Every DBA and Oracle programmer should buy this book and READ READ and READ. After this book I suggest two other books by Steve, 1. Programming with PL/SQL packages 2. Oracle Built-in packages These 3 books are my Online Oracle tutor on PL/SQL and Oracle Packages! You won't regret buying these books. How about a book on Designer 6000 steve ? Keep up the good work steve.

Summary: Excellent reference for PL/SQL programming
Review: If you need a single reference/learning book for PL/SQL, this would be it. If you are a beginner to PL/SQL, when you buy this book, please spend the time to read it and experiment. For a quicker start, maybe Scott Urman's (Oracle Press) PL/SQL book is better. I have both. But, if you're a serious PL/SQL programmer and looking for the finer points -- this book is an absolute must!

Summary: This book is complicate and ugly
Review: This book starts with "What is PL/SQL?". But through the following 900 pages, I could not find a simple example showing how to test run a simple PL/SQL code or procedure through Oracle sqlplus or other Oracle calling interface, such as OCI and Proc. Well, my rating above might be biased. I made a career change from physics to become a professional C/C++ programmer by reading K&R's C Programming Language to begin with. However, I do not feel reading this book alone can get me anywhere but waste all my time. If five stars for K&R's, one star is all for this book. It's a matter of Simple and Beautiful vs Complicate and Ugly.

Summary: More advice than PL/SQL Programming
Review: When looking for a solution to practical real life programming problems,I find it hard to find a solution or an answer in this book. The focus is by far to much on style and how the author would do it rather than to offer relevant working examples relating to the real world, contradicting the title of the book. I got a lot of paper for my money, but that's about it.
