If you already know the basics of SQL, this book provides many examples of how to write even more advanced SQL to huge benefit in your applications, such as:Pivoting rows to columns and columns to rowsRecursion in SQL with MODEL and WITH clausesAnswering Top-N questionsForecasting with linear regressionsRow pattern matching to group or distribute rowsUsing MATCH_RECOGNIZE as a row processing engineThe process of starting from simpler statements in SQL, and gradually working those statements stepwise into more complexstatements that deliver powerful results, is covered in each example. By trying out the recipes and examples for yourself, you will put together the building blocks into powerful SQL statements that will make your application run circles around your competitors.What You Will LearnTake full advantage of advanced and modern features in Oracle SQLRecognize when modern SQL constructs can help create better applicationsImprove SQL query building skills through stepwise refinementApply set-based thinking to process more data in fewer queriesMake cross-row calculations with analytic functionsSearch for patterns across multiple rows using row pattern matchingBreak complex calculations into smaller steps with subquery factoringWho This Book Is ForOracle Database developers who already knowsome SQL, but rarely use features of the language beyond the SQL-92 standard.
