Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Is pl/sql still in wide use as a development tool for Oracle?
My company is migrating some of our databases to Oracle, and I am
teaching myself a little on the side in anticipation of this
(currently I use perl and MySQL or PostgreSQL). After browsing
through the current books out there, I notice that there aren't many
books on pl/sql and furthermore, there are even fewer published in the
past few years. Oracle Press' and OReilly's most recent contributions
in pl/sql are both about 4 years old.
I was wondering if this is because pl/sql is being deprecated in favor of other development tools (a la Crystal Reports, etc. -- which I know nothing about)?
If anyone has insight into whether pl/sql is worth learning or if it would be better to look into something else, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
