Re: PL/SQL Tutorial - Where?

  Renee,

There is no such tutorial available on the net and not that I know of after some vigorous searching. Also PL/SQL cannot be learnt that easily. To really learn PL/SQL one must have a thorough grounding of SQL. Most people run through SQL like a pack of cards and then end up with misery all their life. So first make sure that people are thorough with SQL, then optimization of SQL statements - imp.

2) The site for SQL is http://www.inquiry.com

3) The best book for PL/SQL is Oracle Pl/SQL programming by Steven Feuerstein. 9/10 with some great tips, great code and good material on disk (generic). Oreilly Associates.

4) Good site for PL/SQL is http://www.revealnet.com. There is also an online package available with 5 upgrades that will include Orcale 8 as well. You can get it for around 320 $ from Revealnet. It is good and explains everything on line. It is like everything in one package. One can solve most problems with it in an office and it also comes with a message package that describes 1100 error messages that have been categorised. Instant retrieval instead of searching a manual. ALL ONLINE.

5) Another book as a supplement would be the same by Scott Urman
