Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming Workbook (Oracle Press) Review: for serious learners, not those needing someone to hold their hand. - This was a valuable resource to me as I am just learning oracle. It is important to understand where this will fit into your learning. The text is not difficult to understand, but you should some have some base experience in some kind of programming language. This book is very good at just telling you exactly and simply how to write PL/SQL. There are 12 chapters with topics like 'functions,' 'objects,' 'error management,' etc... so you shouldn't really expect to get lost anywhere. That is really why I enjoyed this book, it was very straighforward. Chapter, concept, example, summary, exercises. By the end of the book you will be able to at least read and understand any code you come accross and write a few dandy procedures. This was my experience. The thing with learning SQL is just if you try to learn just through google you will find a ton of resources on MySQL and only some on Oracle by comparison. And a lot of the oracle stuff you find will just be MySQL solutions ported over on forums which post WRONG 'guessed' code. And within that the help you will find on PL/SQL is sparse at best. Yes I know there is always the full documentation on oracle.com(ZZZzzzzzzzz). I bought oracles other DBA handbook before this and also have SQL books from MS and o reilly. This book is my favorite so far when comparing format and easyness of reading. Review: So-so book for novices, good for intermediate, advanced PL/SQL Developers - I'll echo some comments of other reviewers. For a novice, I would NOT highly recommend the book, only because it feels like the author feels that you should have a good grasp of basic programming and of PL/SQL. The one thing that if I were a novice (which I'm not - Senior Oracle Developer with 17+yrs experience) is that topics that are discuss reference topics in upcoming chapters which he says you should reference. To me that's not good. Every chapter should build on the previous chapter. In one chapter he does this perfectly when reference coding examples (chapter on Triggers). Other than that, I do like Oracle Press Books and I bought this workbook as I'm studying for my Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate certification and I liked the practice questions/answers at the end of each chapter. This helps reinforce concepts I already know and highlight other concepts I was unaware of or had misconceptions about. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,605,927 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Oracle Databases #25 in Oracle Certification #227 in SQL | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 25 Reviews | ## Images ![Oracle Database 11g PL/SQL Programming Workbook (Oracle Press) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wVd9OE2fL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for serious learners, not those needing someone to hold their hand. *by J***R on December 13, 2012* This was a valuable resource to me as I am just learning oracle.

For a novice, I would NOT highly recommend the book, only because it feels like the author feels that you should have a good grasp of basic programming and of PL/SQL. The one thing that if I were a novice (which I'm not - Senior Oracle Developer with 17+yrs experience) is that topics that are discuss reference topics in upcoming chapters which he says you should reference.

This helps reinforce concepts I already know and highlight other concepts I was unaware of or had misconceptions about. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful Book *by J***G on February 28, 2012* This book is an excellent resource for anyone studying PL/SQL or desiring to improve their skills in PL/SQL. The author is very knowledgeable on the topic and explains it in a fairly straightforward fashion allowing for relatively quick understanding of the topic. As always it requires effort to develop skills but this book makes doing so much easier then any other book of this type. I recommend this book heavily for the use of students and professionals. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1821214-oracle-database-11g-pl-sql-programming-workbook-oracle-press](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1821214-oracle-database-11g-pl-sql-programming-workbook-oracle-press) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
