general discussion, good source of PL/SQL knowledge

Stored procedures and especially triggers usually cooperate with other system components, they are sensitive to intricate system configuration changes.

Good introduction, but beware of the examples!

This appears to be a good introduction to useful PL/Sql coding and techniques. Everything in this book is in the two Official Oracle Press PL/Sql Programming books but more time is spent explaining both the how and the why and making suggestions. But beware of the example code: some of them have typo errors and some won't run even with the typo's corrected. I sometimes had to debug and correct the code before it would run...

Excellent for serious developers

A book like this is essential for real world projects. The author knows exactly what he is talking about and it is easy to tell he has been a developer because he addresses the issues that usually come up during the development phase of a project. Also, the examples illustrate the concepts very clearly and it hardly matters whether you are using UNIX or NT.This book is way ahead of the other Oracle books I have seen. The...

Excellent reference (For procedures, functions, triggers)

This is one of a number of publications I acquired when tasked with converting an existing Sybase SQL Server 11 system to Oracle. The current system relied heavily on stored procedures\functions with a fair amount of triggers. The fact that this book was laid out as well as it is made my job alot easier.
