This pocket reference provides quick-reference information  that will help you use Oracle's PL/SQL language. It is  a companion to Steven Feuerstein and Bill Pribyl's  bestselling book, Oracle PL/SQL Programming, and includes coverage of the latest version of Oracle, Oracle8i.Oracle is the most popular database management system in  use today, and PL/SQL plays a pivotal role in current and  projected Oracle products and applications. PL/SQL provides  procedural extensions to the SQL relational database language  and to an ever-growing number of Oracle development tools. It  offers a myriad of data types, and such features as cursors,  loops, conditional and sequential control statements, exception  handlers, records, tables, and constructs for developing modular  code (functions, procedures, and packages). Originally a rather  limited tool, PL/SQL became with Oracle7 a mature and effective  language for developers.  Now, with the introduction of Oracle8,  PL/SQL has taken the next step towards becoming a fully realized  programming language providing sophisticated object-oriented  capabilities.The book on which this pocket reference is based, Oracle PL/SQL Programming, filled a huge gap in the Oracle market,  providing developers with a single, comprehensive guide to  building applications with PL/SQL -- and building them the right  way. That book has become the bible for PL/SQL developers who  have raved about its completeness, readability, and practicality. The book is packed with strategies, code architectures, tips,  techniques, and fully realized code. The second edition of the  book updated the text with the new Oracle8 PL/SQL features, including object types, collections, external procedures, and large object data types and functions.The pocket reference boils down the most vital information from the large (nearly 1000 pages) book into an accessible quick  reference that summarizes the basics of PL/SQL -- its block  structure, fundamental language elements (e.g., identifiers, declarations, defaults), data structures (including Oracle8 objects), and statements for program control, loops, exception  handling, and database access. It also covers the the basics of  using Oracle's procedures, functions, and packages, and the latest features for Oracle8i.
