More About This Textbook
Overview
One comes across very few books that make a significant difference in your fundamental understanding of the subject. This is one such book if you want to understand a core database skill – SQL. This book deserves a place in your library and you will find it a great reference not only for learning SQL but also for learning data relationships, data organization, data analysis possibilities and so forth. I feel that the title, Oracle SQL: Jumpstart with Examples, might be too simplistic to describe the content. Read on, you will find the real value hidden inside this book." -- Ravi Sharma, Senior Principal Consultant
Developers and DBAs use Oracle SQL coding on a daily basis, whether for application development, finding problems, fine-tuning solutions to those problems, or other critical DBA tasks. Oracle SQL: Jumpstart with Examples is the fastest way to get started and to quickly locate answers to common (and uncommon) questions. It includes all the basic queries: filtering, sorting, operators, conditionals, pseudocolumns, single row functions, joins, grouping and summarizing, grouping functions, subqueries, composite queries, hierarchies, flashback queries, parallel queries, expressions and regular expressions, DML, datatypes (including collections), XML in Oracle, DDL for basic database objects such as tales, views and indexes, Oracle Partitioning, security, and finally PL/SQL.
Features:
* Each of the hundreds of SQL code examples was tested on a working Oracle 10g database
* Invaluable everyday tool that provides an absolute plethora of properly tested examples of Oracle SQL code
* Authors have four decades of commercial experience between them as developers and database administrators

Editorial Reviews
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewEvery Oracle professional needs a reliable source of information on Oracle SQL. This book is it. More than a comprehensive and well-written reference, it delivers bushels of Oracle 10g example code -- all tested and verified.
Gavin Powell and Carol McCullough-Dieter cover Oracle SQL from soup to nuts: SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, operators, conditions, pseudocolumns, SQL*PLUS, functions, joins, grouping, summarization, subqueries, expressions, DML, datatypes, collections, indexes, clusters, constraints, PL/SQL, and much more. You’ll also find detailed coverage of XML datatypes, generation, and retrieval; and managing security via users, privileges, groups, and roles.
Much of what’s in here applies to Oracle 9i as well. If you haven't upgraded yet, you can rely on this book now, and keep relying on it after you move up. Bill Camarda, from the January 2005 Read Only
From the Publisher
"As a consultant with more than 12 years of experience working with Oracle databases on a daily basis, reviewing this book was a unique and enjoyable experience. The SQL language is without doubt one of the most critical database skills and it is best learned by example. This book addresses that crucial need. Mr. Powell does an excellent job of clarifying the concepts by using meaningful and easy to understand examples. Frankly, I have not come across any other book on SQL that is as good a compilation of SQL concepts in a single source as this book.One comes across very few books that make a significant difference in your fundamental understanding of the subject. This is one such book if you want to understand a core database skill – SQL.
