For PL/SQL users, you can't miss it
Well, I am new to PL/SQL and I read a few chapter of Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming (Oracle Press) and understand it well. I'm also able to apply it.
I am Chinese from Hong Kong, China, and English is not even my first language and I am reading it just fine.
Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming (Oracle Press) is not only text, but has some pictures to explain the ideals before them.
If you are a new PL/SQL programmer or want to learn some PL/SQL. This is a great book that you can trust.

This is one of the PL/SQL book that you wanted to keep, I hope it will translate to Chinese soon.



Comprehensive
You can't go wrong with Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming (Oracle Press)! It is truly comprehensive. I highly recommend it.



I returned it.
I've been using PL/SQL for a few years, but not often and not well. I wanted a book that would serve as both a reference book and as a cover-to-cover read from which I could absorb all the niceties.

This isn't that book. As a reference book, I think it's okay, but as a read it was pretty bad. The book has a lot of cut-and-pasting, with paragraphs lifted from one chapter and dropped in another (albeit relevant) chapter, or similar information repeated redundantly. For example, CHAR, NCHAR, VARCHAR2 and NVARCHAR2 are awfully similar data types, but instead of combining them into a single section and describing what they have in common and how they differed, the same long paragraph was repeated, tweaking a few words. That might ... Read More



The best book to understand Oracle's PL/SQL and how to use it effectively.
This is one of the best technical books I have read. It makes PL/SQL easy to learn for the beginners and it is so detailed that very experienced users will find it extremely useful. It covers the usage of PL/SQL with many different types of applications such as JAVA, XML, PHP, etc. I have recommended very few language books in my time, because, I have found them to be written with the writer's logic as to how the writer thinks the code would be better executed. However this is the first book that I have seen that is written logically based on how the language would be better used to efficiently interact with the database. In short, I give Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming (Oracle Press) my highest recommendation. I would like to congratulate Michael on writing such a great book.
