GOOD BUT TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE FEW TOPICS INCLUDED

very useful for many things but, it's not a programming book so, at the end of the book you've focused your attention only on few things that you should learn and keep in mind. That's it... I'm happy with it but in my opinion it's a bit too expensive for what it gives.

good advice

I found some very good advice in this book for PL/SQL tuning. Using some of the examples on bulk loads and forall..inserts I was able to get hundredfold improvements in some row at a time loads. The examples were easy to understand and showed techniques for verifying performance effects. They could use a better proofreader, but on the whole, I think this is a good book for a PL/SQL developer.

PL/SQL Secrets revealed

This book has been a great resource for me as I get acquainted with various Oracle assets, including many things that I was not aware of concerning PL/SQL. Expect to learn improved ways of handling Oracle, knowing that this book is for the advanced and eager Oracle user. Dr. Hall obviously has experience in Oracle, to the point where he can exemplify these complex concepts in an easy to follow format. From one Oracle professional to another, I highly recommend this book.
