Design Feature-Rich PL/SQL Applications

Deliver dynamic, client/server PL/SQL applications with expert guidance from an Oracle programming professional. With full coverage of the latest features and tools, Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming lays out each topic alongside detailed explanations, cut-and-paste syntax examples, and real-world case studies. Access and modify database information, construct powerful PL/SQL statements, execute effective queries, and deploy bulletproof security. You'll also learn how to implement C, C++, and Java procedures, Web-enable your database, cut development time, and optimize performance.

  • Identify and eliminate errors using PLSQL_WARNINGS and exception handlers

  • Work with functions, procedures, packages, collections, and triggers

  • Define and deploy varray, nested table, and associative array data types

  • Handle external routines, object types, large objects, and secure files

  • Communicate between parallel sessions using DBMS_ALERT and DBMS_PIPE

  • Call external procedures through Oracle Net Services and PL/SQL wrappers

  • Integrate internal and server-side Java class libraries using Oracle JVM

  • Develop robust Web applications using PL/SQL Gateway and Web Toolkit
