{"product_id":"9780596001803","title":"Learning Oracle PL\/SQL: Oracle Development Languages","description":"PL\/SQL, Oracle's programming language for stored procedures, delivers a world of possibilities for your database programs. PL\/SQL supplements the standard relational database language, SQL, with a wide range of procedural features, including loops, IF-THEN statements, advanced data structures, and rich transactional control—all closely integrated with the Oracle database server. Knowing where to start with Oracle's procedural language is not always obvious to a newcomer, especially considering the language's feature set and the sheer size of the official documentation (not to mention Oracle's ever-increasing number of pre-built PL\/SQL programs). But \u003ci\u003eLearning Oracle PL\/SQL\u003c\/i\u003e offers the signposts and guidance you need to come up to speed on the language, delivered in a manageable number of pages while covering all the essentials.
