This comprehensive Oracle Press guide shows how to exploit the little known but extremely useful SQL and PL/SQL features to develop powerful applications—and how to effectively use both the languages together. Readers will learn to compare and contrast the standards and determine which—or a blend of the two—is optimal under any set of circumstances.
