Oracle PL/SQL Language Pocket Reference, Second Edition
by Steven Feuerstein, Bill Pribyl, Chip Dawes
Chapter 1. Oracle PL/SQL Language Pocket Reference
Introduction
The Oracle PL/SQL Language Pocket Reference is a quick reference guide to the PL/SQL programming language, which provides procedural extensions to the SQL relational database language and a range of Oracle development tools. Where a package, program, or function is supported only for a particular version of Oracle (e.g., Oracle9i), we indicate this in the text.
The purpose of this pocket reference is to help PL/SQL users find the syntax of specific language elements. It is not a self-contained user guide; basic knowledge of the PL/SQL programming language is required. For more information, see the following O’Reilly books:
