Editorial Review:
Steven Feuerstein has condensed years of accumulated wisdom and experience into a series of some 120 Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices, these being hints and tips covering a range of topics, all aimed at producing readable and maintainable PL/SQL code, particularly in the context of working in a PL/SQL development team.
While many of the principles involved could apply equally to any structured programming language, Feuerstein addresses the challenges of applying these principles in the PL/SQL programming environment and backs this up with simple code examples.
Some of these best practices are more important that others however Feuerstein identifies the benefits and importance of each best practice and has separately listed the more important (no. 1: "establish and follow clear rules for how to write SQL in your application"--followed by guidelines on how to achieve this).
While this book will probably be of most benefit to the programmer new to PL/SQL, it still contains programming tips and tricks likely to be of use to the experienced PL/SQL programmer too. --Michael O'Connor
Reader Reviews:
Brilliant reference to write well designed code (3/3 people found this helpful)
I think this book is brilliant. Before I bought this book I was writing unstructured code that didnt have a distinct style or standard layout. By using the suggestions in this book my code is now well structured and more efficient due to Steven Feuerstein giving practical examples to back up his suggestions. I also learned a great deal and was able to include new PL/SQL features into my code as this book explained the why rather than the what of using different PL/SQL methods. Not for the absolute beginner, but brilliant for the semi-experienced, a chance to break those old habits and learn to code in a better more structured way. Also its fairly cheap for an I.T. book so well worth buying personal use.
Good book for PL/SQL developers (2/4 people found this helpful)
A good book only for people for have some experience of PL/SQL programming. Steven helps u to write efficient and understandable code. The only disadvantage is that it is not very technical like most of his previous books are. A good buy for people who work with PL/SQL
