Preface
This book is a hands-on, practical guide that teaches you the nuts and bolts of XML and the family of Internet standards related to it and shows how to exploit XML with your Oracle database using Java™, PL/SQL, and declarative techniques. It’s a book for Oracle developers by an Oracle developer who has lived the technology at Oracle Corporation for over ten years and has directly catalyzed the company’s XML technology direction and implementation. As you read this book, I hope you will come to appreciate the wide variety of tools Oracle provides to enable you to combine the best of XML with the best of Oracle to build flexible, database-powered applications for the Web.
This book abounds with tested, commented, and fully explained examples because—in the unforgettable words of a high school mentor of mine—“you only get good at something by working through an ungodly number of problems.” The examples include a number of helper libraries and utilities that will serve to jump-start your own Oracle XML development projects (see “About the Examples” later in this Preface for details).
If this book has one main goal, it is to educate, excite, and thoroughly convince you that by combining:
The speed, functionality, and reliability of the Oracle database
The power of XML as a universal standard for data exchange
The flexibility to easily transform XML data into any format required
we can accomplish some pretty amazing things, not to mention saving ourselves a lot of work in the process. ...
