Oracle Pl/Sql Language Pocket Reference
Description:... 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.
