Rating:  Summary: A must for all pl/sql programmers :) Review: A must for all the PL/SQL programmers. It has very good examples which are also explained by the addition of comments. The language used is very simple and easy to understand. Covers a lot in Cursors, triggers, procedures and functions. I think this book will help me to achieve my goal:)
Rating:  Summary: An excellent tutorial as well as reference. Review: All subjects are covered thoroughly and excellent examples are provided. This book will have you writing serious Oracle programs in a short time.
Rating:  Summary: Well-Organized, Useful Examples, Easy to Read Review: Although the information was accurate and useful, I think the strength of this book was it's clear and logical presentation. It is easy to read and very helpful. For example, I needed to know how to dynamically build the "where" clause for select statements and his chapter on DBMS_SQL gave me the tools to accomplish my task at work.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent for beginners Review: I bought this book as a complete Oracle novice, transitioning from Microsoft T-SQL to PL/SQL. I was worried about the transition being difficult until I read this book.It is one of those very rare books that presents advanced concepts in a context understandable by users of all experience levels. The author often throws in tips about Oracle PL/SQL quirks to watch out for, as well as some very applicable information about how Oracle works internally. I've since become more comfortable with PL/SQL, and the book also serves as a great reference. I highly encourage you to read this book straight through. I recommend this well-written book to anybody wanting to learn PL/SQL, as well as anyone needing a great reference.

Rating:  Summary: Good but outdated Review: Oracle 8 is out and in this book it only covers to Oracle 7. It is a very well written book. It is a valuable reference however it was published in 1996. Still looking for Oracle SQL Plus 8.0 AND the PL/SQL Programming. I hope the author steps up to the plate and updates his work.
Rating:  Summary: An Outstanding Wealth of Information Review: This book is a MAINSTAY in my reference library. Though I do only limited back-end development in the applications I work on, this is the first book I look for when I need to be pointed in the right direction. I highly recommend it!
