Book Overview

The Oracle SQL*Plus Pocket Reference is a must-have for anyone working with Oracle databases, especially those looking to maximize the effectiveness of SQL*Plus. As Oracle's long-standing interactive query tool, SQL*Plus is available at every Oracle site, from the largest data warehouse to the smallest single-user system. Despite its wide use, however, SQL*Plus is still often not completely understood or fully utilized. Database administrators and developers alike will therefore find the Oracle SQL*Plus Pocket Reference to be extremely beneficial. In addition to summarizing all of the SQL*Plus syntax and format options, including new Oracle Database 10g features, this handy, on-the-job guide specifically shows readers how to: Differentiate between SQL and SQL*Plus Interact with SQL*Plus from both the command line and the web browser Select, insert, update, and delete data Format both text and HTML reports with SQL*Plus Specify SQL*Plus commands and format elements Tune SQL queries The new third edition of this book has been updated for Oracle Database 10g to include information on both SQL*Plus and SQL. New SQL information includes the SELECT statement's new MODEL clause, flashback queries, partition outer joins, and DBMS_XPLAN. With its quick-reference format and compact size, the Oracle SQL*Plus Pocket Reference follows in the long line of successful "pocket references" offered by O'Reilly. It also serves as the ideal companion to O'Reilly's larger, more comprehensive book on SQL*Plus, the bestselling Oracle SQL*Plus: The Definitive Guide. Author Jonathan Gennick is an editor for O'Reilly specializing in database and programming titles, having amassed some 17 years of programming and database management experience.

Extremely Useful...

...a good combination of size, price, and content. I have the 3rd edition, which includes an 8-page index. I use this as part of teaching a class in Oracle Developer and recommend it for my students. As the other reviewers recommend, write your name in it...the Oreilly pocket references are easy to misplace, and walk off sometimes. There are four blank pages at the end for your own notes. Content is adequate for its purpose...

A great revision guide.

After 7 years solid experience within the ORACLE toolset I find that books like this not only teach us a few new things but are also great revision guides giving new thought to commands, formats,functions etc not used or thought of for some time.In my opinion, even though a small book, it was well worth the money and one that all Oracle users of whatever standard will appreciate. I suggest any purchser write their name in...

A Real Time Saver

This pocket reference version has been a real time saver! I really appreciated the concise, clear explanations and examples. Since my co-workers are always walking off with it, I'm having to buy another copy for myself.
