Personal Review: Oracle PL/SQL Programming: A Developers
Workbook (Development Workbook) by Andrew Odewahn
If there is any book which will "fine-tune" one's knowledge of PL/SQL, this
is it. It is written in Feuerstein's inimitable style which will keep you
engaged with the book much longer than any other peer book of it's kind.
There is so much to learn from this book really - and it applies to beginners
as experts alike. This book explores the tiniest nuts and bolts of PL/SQL in
an exercise-like format which gives the reader a chance to ponder on the
problem before he/she looks up the answers. And I must add, you are in
store for a lot of surprises when you look up the answers in the second half
of the book ! (escpecially in the experts' section)
