Oracle PL/SQL Programming 4th Edition
For the past ten years, O'Reilly's Oracle PL/SQL Programming
has been the bestselling book on PL/SQL, Oracle's powerful
procedural language. Packed with examples and helpful
recommendations, the book has helped everyone--from novices
to experienced developers, and from Oracle Forms developers
to database administrators--make
the most of PL/SQL.
The fourth edition is a comprehensive update, adding
significant new content and extending coverage to include
the very latest Oracle version, Oracle Database 10g Release
2. It describes such new features as the PL/SQL optimizing
compiler, conditional compilation, compile-time warnings,
regular expressions, set operators for nested tables,
nonsequential collections in FORALL, the programmer-defined
quoting mechanism, the ability to backtrace an exception to
a line number, a variety of new built-in packages, and
support for IEEE 754 compliant floating-point numbers.
The new edition adds brand-new chapters on security
(including encryption, row-level security, fine-grained
auditing, and application contexts), file, email, and web
I/O (including the built-in packages DBMS_OUTPUT, UTL_FILE,
UTL_MAIL, UTL_SMTP, and UTL_HTTP) and globalization and
localization.
Co-authored by the world's foremost PL/SQL authority, Steven
Feuerstein, this classic reference provides language syntax,
best practices, and extensive code, ranging from simple
examples to complete applications--making it a must-have on
your road to PL/SQL mastery. A companion web site contains
many more examples and additional technical content for
enhanced learning.
