This review is from: Oracle PL/SQL Tuning: Expert Secrets for High Performance Programming (Oracle In-Focus series) (Paperback)

I found some very good advice in this book for PL/SQL tuning. Using some of the examples on bulk loads and forall..inserts I was able to get hundredfold improvements in some row at a time loads. The examples were easy to understand and showed techniques for verifying performance effects. They could use a better proofreader, but on the whole, I think this is a good book for a PL/SQL developer.

very useful for many things but, it's not a programming book so, at the end of the book you've focused your attention only on few things that you should learn and keep in mind.

That's it...

I'm happy with it but in my opinion it's a bit too expensive for what it gives.
