PL/SQL is Oracles proprietary variant of the industry standard Structured Query Language (SQL.) In order to effectively develop or maintain - or even use - an Oracle database you need to have a good working knowledge of PL/SQL. Many of the current PL/SQL titles are overkill for those who need to use PL/SQL but have no intention of becoming professional DBAs. This book teaches you what you really need to know, without getting bogged down by what you don't. Sams Teach Yourself Oracle PL/SQL in 10 Minutes is a tutorial-based book, organized into a series of short, easy-to-follow lessons. Instead of dwelling on database theory and relational design, this book takes a very hands-on approach to solving the needs of the majority of SQL users who simply need to interact with data. It uses the format of the author's bestselling  Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes =, which has proven to be highly effective and popular.
