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.
