Customer Reviews

Indispensible for any PL/SQL programmer

If there is any book which will "fine-tune" one's knowledge of PL/SQL, this is it. It is written in Feuerstein's inimitable style which will keep you engaged with the book much longer than any other peer book of it's kind. There is so much to learn from this book really - and it applies to beginners as experts alike. This book explores the tiniest nuts and bolts of PL/SQL in an exercise-like format which gives the reader a chance to ponder on the problem before he/she looks up the answers. And I must add, you are in store for a lot of surprises when you look up the answers in the second half of the book ! (escpecially in the experts' section)

Great Book with Helpful Learning Exercises

I thought this book was great. If you like getting into specific, real-world programming tasks and figuring out the best solutions then this book is for you. He provides helpful explainations along with his solutions. There are a lot of top-notch, practical techniques that you learn as you get into the nitty-gritty of working on small pieces of pl/sql code. There are also questions that test your conceptual understanding of different facets of pl/sql programming --- questions that you could face on a job interview. Even though I've been a pl/sql developer for a few years, I found this book very useful.

The prefect second PL/SQL book

This is a great book to test your PL/SQL knowledge no matter what level you are at. In fact each chapter is devided into 3 sections: Beginner, Intermediate and Expert. This is an excellent book to get after you have worked through a PL/SQL course and want something to give you the extra edge on all the various PL/SQL topics. There is some very good hard to find information in here.

Oracle Pl/Sql Programming Developer's

Only a few book can jump start you to another level, and this is one of them. Great to learn and work for newbie and even experienced pl/sql developers.
