Editorial Reviews

Product Description
<p><i>Oracle9i PL/SQL: A Developer's Guide</i> is intended for both intermediate-level Oracle developers who are designing or coding applications in SQL and PL/SQL and for advanced PL/SQL programmers who need to learn new PL/SQL 9<i>i</i>features. In addition to providing developers with detailed coverage of the PL/SQL 9<i>i</i> language itself, author Bulusu Lakshman covers the techniques of using PL/SQL 9<i>i</i> for server-side applications and provides the methodology for implementing robust applications. Lakshman also mentors developers in implementing effective techniques for real-world and code-centric Oracle applications that, in the long run, will save them time and energy. </p>

<p><i>Oracle9<i>i</i> PL/SQL: A Developer's Guide</i> is a solid source for the development of Oracle9<i>i</i> PL/SQL applications. Developers incorporating these technologies into new applications and those migrating from earlier versions will both find Lakshman's expert treatment of the topic beneficial. </p>

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better books among its peers, November 8, 2003
By Eric L. Ma (Berkeley Heights, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I like the organization of this book as well as its focus on Oracle 9i's new PL/SQL functionality. If you have prior experience with PL/SQL and need to get up to speed with the latest features quickly, this is the right book for you. I like the coverage on Native Dynamic SQL, Bulk Binds, and Object Relational features. The sample code is very helpful to demo the new language syntax. To me this book has been serving as a handy reference as I code for Oracle 9i for the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, May 3, 2009
I normally never write reviews of books. But, this book is amazing...I am taking a course that originally assigned Urman's book on PL/SQL. Urman, I am sure, is well known, as is his book, but it is not as clearly written as this book, and does not teach the concepts as well as this one. You could certainly use this book to teach yourself, or for aid in a course...my simple advice: skip Urman, and get this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly Well Written, May 25, 2005
By Thomas B. Adam "Bibliophile" (Cooper City, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bulusu Lakshman gets a standing ovation for a brillantly written book. If your PL/SQL skills lag behind Oracle 9i, then this book will bring you up to date with clearly written text and excellent examples.

It should really be billed as more of an advanced text on PL/SQL, as the beginner is likely to have a difficult time if Bulusu's work is his first exposure to PL/SQL.

However, for the veteran PL/SQL developer who does not know reference cursors, cursor expressions, bulk binding, dynamic SQL, etc., this is the book to lead you to clear understanding.

Kudos to Bulusu Lakshman.
