A Guide to Oracle’s PL/SQL Language Fundamentals
The third edition of this popular pocket guide provides quick-reference information that will help you use Oracle’s PL/SQL language, including the newest Oracle Database 10g features. It’s a companion to Steven Feuerstein and Bill Pribyl’s bestselling Oracle PL/SQL Programming.
This concise guide boils down the most vital PL/SQL information into an accessible summary of fundamental language elements (e.g., block structure, identifiers, variables, datatypes, and declarations); statements for program control, cursor management, and exception handling; the basics of records, procedures, functions, triggers, and packages; and the calling of PL/SQL functions in SQL. It also includes Oracle’s object-oriented features, collections, external procedures, and Java integration. The third edition describes such Oracle Database 10g elements as regular expressions, compile-time warnings, more implicit conversions, FORALL support for nonconsecutive indexes, additional nested table functionality, user-defined quote characters, new datatypes (BINARY FLOAT and BINARY DOUBLE), and enhancements to PL/SQL native compilation.
Steven Feuerstein has adopted PL/SQL as a member of his immediate family. Pay them both a visit at http://www.minmaxplsql.com. Bill Pribyl is thankful if his writing and lectures about PL/SQL make things a little bit easier for Oracle users. Chip Dawes is a DBA and PL/SQL developer consultant in the Chicago area.
