Guy Harrison's book is very good in my opinion. It's called Oracle SQL High performance tuning.

Available on Amazon.

Hi All,

A developer I work with has asked if there are any books which cover both advanced SQL and SQL tuning in the one title. Does anyone know of such a book?

Essentially we have several developers here who know the basics of SQL but want to understand how to write more advanced queries (I guess interesting use of subqueries, decode functions, and some of the lesser used syntaxes like intersect and minus). They also want to learn some basic performance tuning concepts - I guess learning about implicit conversion, the use of hints, and what indexes can and can't be used to achieve might be a good start.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. The database can be assumed to be Oracle (currently 8, perhaps 9 in the next year) since most tuning is vendor specific.

Thanks,

     Mark.
