4.0 out of 5 stars Very concise writing
I've had the distinct pleasure of being taught by Ms. Casteel for SQL. I later used this book on my own to learn PL/SQL and it is the closest text you will get to having her actually sitting in her room. If you want examples that follow a specific path to building one concept upon another. This textbook is implemented in my local Authorized Oracle Academic Initiative...

3.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a textbook
This book is a text book. It has good exercises to learn from. It is a little difficult to use as a reference book. It could use some more tables and examples.

I've had the distinct pleasure of being taught by Ms. Casteel for SQL. I later used this book on my own to learn PL/SQL and it is the closest text you will get to having her actually sitting in her room. If you want examples that follow a specific path to building one concept upon another. This textbook is implemented in my local Authorized Oracle Academic Initiative Center so you know you will be getting quality instruction in PL?SQL with this book. I think it beats OraclePress hands down for its accuracy and in-depth description of each concept. Get this book if you ever thought the other publishers tend to be too vague in conveying PL/SQL to you. Worth the money.

This review is from: Oracle9i Developer: PL/SQL Programming (Paperback)
I found this book to be great.

I used it for my first Oracle Class and I still refer to it from time to time.

Even though it is Oracle 9i it still contains a lot of material that is useful regardless of what version that you are using.

The book is well written and structured very well.

The practical exercises are great.

I wish that I could say that about some of the Books that have been put out by this published in later releases of Oracle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Information from the Author, January 18, 2004

This review is from: Oracle9i Developer: PL/SQL Programming (Paperback)
This is a text book - this book is written specifically for college classes. Any books you see that are published by Course Technology are text books.
This book is written in a format that user's with only SQL knowledge and are brand new to PL/SQL can learn the fundamentals of PL/SQL programming. The text covers all the concepts for the Oracle9i PL/SQL program units certification exam. Every chapter contains hands-on exercises to illustrate each concept. The data files for the book can be downloaded from the publishers web site. Chapters covering dynamic SQL and programming with Oracle object technology is also included.
Thanks for your interest!
