Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices

Product Description
In this book, Steven Feuerstein, widely recognized as one of the world's experts on the Oracle PL/SQL language, distills his many years of programming, writing, and teaching about PL/SQL into a set of PL/SQL language "best practices"--rules for writing code that is readable, maintainable, and efficient. Too often, developers focus on simply writing programs that run without errors--and ignore the impact of poorly written code upon both system performance and their ability (and their colleagues' ability) to maintain that code over time. Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices is a concise, easy-to-use reference to Feuerstein's recommendations for excellent PL/SQL coding. It answers the kinds of questions PL/SQL developers most frequently ask about their code:

* How should I format my code?
* What naming conventions, if any, should I use?
* How can I write my packages so they can be more easily maintained?
* What is the most efficient way to query information from the database?
* How can I get all the developers on my team to handle errors the same way?

The book contains 120 best practices, divided by topic area. It's full of advice on the program development process, coding style, writing SQL in PL/SQL, data structures, control structures, exception handling, program and package construction, and built-in packages. It also contains a handy, pull-out quick reference card. As a helpful supplement to the text, code examples demonstrating each of the best practices are available on the O'Reilly web site. Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices is intended as a companion to O'Reilly's larger Oracle PL/SQL books. It's a compact, readable reference that you'll turn to again and again--a book that no serious developer can afford to be without.

Book Info
Handbook for users of Oracle 8i and SQL, with practical answers to common tough issues dealt with by developers. Summarizes approximately 120 best practices in all and features a pull-out reference card listing all of the best practices featured in the text. Each best practice includes an example that features it in context. Softcover.

RMAN Receipes for Oracle Database 11g

It’s sometimes said that the true job of an Oracle database administrator can be summed up in one, essential skill: to be able to recover your database.

There’s much wisdom in that statement. Of all the things you are responsible for as a database administrator, nothing is more important than the data itself. Like it or not, the fearsome responsibility of protecting your organizations most critical data falls squarely upon your shoulders:

* Lose that data and your company could fail.
* Lose that data and you could be out of a job.

Scared? You should be. But theres help. You are not alone. Oracle experts Darl Kuhn, Sam Alapati, and Arup Nanda have come together in this book to show you the power of Recovery Manager, or RMAN, which is Oracles backup and recovery tool of choice. RMAN Recipes for Oracle Database 11g helps you take advantage of all that RMAN has to offer by providing easy-to-understand solutions to business-critical backup and recovery operations. This handy guide

* Demystifies the steps required to protect your business data
* Provides ready-made and step-by-step solutions to simple and complex backup, restore, and recovery operations
* Is task-oriented, making it easy for you to find the solution to pressing backup and recovery problems
* Respects your time by providing example-based solutions, not endless reading material

When the pressure’s on, you dont have time for long discussions of theory. This book gets right to the point with quick and easy-to-read, step-by-step solutions that can help you backup and recover your data with confidence.


What you’ll learn

Oracle Database experts Darl Kuhn, Sam Alapati, and Arup Nanda show you how to

* Reliably back up and recover your database using Oracles Recovery Manager.
* Utilize New Oracle Database 11g features such as the Data Recovery Advisor.
* Let Oracle Database manage your backup files via the Flash Recovery Area.
* Automate backup and recovery tasks by writing scripts.

Oracle Essentials Oracle Database 11g

Product Description
Oracle is an enormous system, with myriad technologies, options, and releases. Most users-even experienced developers and database administrators-find it difficult to get a handle on the full scope of the Oracle database. And, as each new Oracle version is released, users find themselves under increasing pressure to learn about a whole range of new technologies. The latest challenge is Oracle Database 11g.



This book distills an enormous amount of information about Oracle into a compact, easy-to-read volume filled with focused text, illustrations, and helpful hints. It contains chapters on:

* Oracle products, options, data structures, and overall architecture for Oracle Database 11g, as well as earlier releases (Oracle Database 10g, Oracle9i, and Oracle8i)


* Installing, running, managing, monitoring, networking, and tuning Oracle, including Enterprise Manager (EM) and Oracle's self-tuning and management capabilities; and using Oracle security, auditing, and compliance (a new chapter in this edition)


* Multiuser concurrency, data warehouses, distributed databases, online transaction processing (OLTP), high availability, and hardware architectures (e.g., SMP, clusters, NUMA, and grid computing)


* Features beyond the Oracle database: Oracle Application Express, Fusion Middleware (including Oracle Application Server), and database SOA support as a Web services provider

The latest Oracle Database 11g features: query result set caching, Automatic Memory Management, the Real Application Testing, Advanced Compression, Total Recall, and Active Data Guard Option Options, changes to the OLAP Option (transparently accessed and managed as materialized views), the Flashback transaction command, transparent data encryption, the Support Workbench (and diagnosability infrastructure), and partitioning enhancements (including interval and new composite types)

For new Oracle users, DBAs, developers, and managers, Oracle Essentials provides an invaluable, all-in-one introduction to the full range of Oracle features and technologies, including the just-released Oracle Database 11g features. But even if you already have a library full of Oracle documentation, you'll find that this compact book is the one you turn to, again and again, as your one-stop, truly essential reference.

"Oracle Essentials gives a clear explanation of the key database concepts and architecture underlying the Oracle database. It's a great reference for anyone doing development or management of Oracle databases."

Oracle Application Server 10g Web Development

Books-On-Line : Oracle Application Server 10G is an integrated suite of middleware technology designed to help build Enterprise Applications, Web Sites and Web Services, Enterprise Portals, Business Processes, Business Intelligence, and other systems. Wow!

It used to be that a database was just that, a thing that you fed data and it gave it back when you politely asked (I say politely because you had to talk its language, SQL, and you had to talk it fairly precisely or it just gave you some incomprehensible rejection notice.)



Now the database has become almost a complete business environment. The Oracle Application Server contains a web server (based on Apache), a web portal, Wireless connectivity, Forms, Java 2 Enterprise Edition, all kinds of management and security routines, and more.

This book is primarily a Web Development book. That is, it uses virtually all of the parts of the Oracle Application Server with a view to presenting information on the web. Probably this is because so many business applications are now being written with a view of using the web as the standard interface into the business system.

Beyond that, however, this book actually covers nearly every aspect of the Application Server. The book includes things such as using Java in the Oracle Database along with the JDeveloper IDE. Many of these subjects have books written about them alone. Here in one volume is a complete introduction to just about everything you could possibly use to produce any business system needed using the Oracle system, and it's the most complete approach that I've found.

Product Description
Develop flexible, cross-platform Web applications using Oracle Application Server 10g and this exclusive Oracle Press guide. Take advantage of the full support for all major Web development languages, APIs, and frameworks and learn to create and test applications quickly, interface with the Oracle database seamlessly, and deploy your applications to the Web securely. Inside you’ll find full details on J2EE integration, Oracle Forms 10g, Oracle Reports 10g, OracleAS Discoverer 10g, OracleAS Portal, and Oracle JDeveloper 10g.

Oracle High Performance Tuning for 9i.and.10g

There are three parts to tuning an Oracle database: data modeling,
SQL code tuning and physical database configuration.

A data model contains tables and relationships between tables.
Tuning a data model involves normalization and de-normalization.
Different approaches are required depending on the application,
such as OLTP or a Data Warehouse. Inappropriate database design can
make SQL code impossible to tune. Poor data modeling can have a
most profound effect on database performance since all SQL code is
constructed from the data model.

Poorly written SQL code is often a culprit of performance problems
and is expensive to rectify. However, tuning of SQL code is
generally cheaper than changing the data model. SQL code tends to
be contained inside independent blocks within applications or
stored procedures.

Physical database tuning involves hardware resource usage,
networking and various other Oracle things such as configuration
and file distribution. Physical configuration is often a culprit of
poor performance where Oracle is installed with defaults, and never
altered by an expert.
