About this title

Synopsis:

Oracle is the world's leading relational database. It provides a rich environment to store, handle, and extract data. When used properly, Oracle provides a solid foundation upon which to build enterprise scale applications.

Mastering the Oracle database is not an overnight job. It takes time, practice, and a lot of real world experience. This book teaches you the core concepts behind using the database, shows you the tools and techniques you need to master, and gives you practical examples of programming Oracle. By the time you have completed this book, you will have all the knowledge you need to use Oracle databases with confidence.

You are setting out on the same journey we travelled some years ago. We know the things you are going to run into time and time again. We understand the challenges you are going to meet when you have to develop an application or administer your database. We can guarantee you that the techniques you'll learn in this book are proven and have led us through many successful implementations.

From the Publisher:

Beginning Oracle Programming is a book for would-be Oracle administrators and developers alike. No matter what your background might be, this book takes a simple approach to teaching you Oracle technology. This tutorial takes you from no knowledge to mastery - concepts introduced in earlier chapters are built upon in later chapters. The only things we have assumed are that you understand the underlying concepts behind relational databases and have experience of basic SQL.
