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.
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 assumed. For more information, see the following O’Reilly books:
- Oracle PL/SQL Programming, Sixth Edition, by Steven Feuerstein with Bill Pribyl

- Oracle Essentials, Fifth Edition, by Rick Greenwald, Robert Stackowiak, and Jonathan Stern
Wherever a package, program, or function is supported only for a particular version of the Oracle database (e.g., Oracle Database 12c), we indicate this in the text.
