Mike Rogers Sep 11, 2013

This developer guide provides very good coverage on both the basic concepts of PL/SQL as well as much more advanced concepts (packages, overloading, statistics, etc). This is probably one of the few books that you'll keep on your shelf long after you've reached an intermediate or advanced level of PL/SQL coding experience.The writing is clear and concise, and it would be an invaluable reference to have handy on a Kindle.

Abhinav Jun 07, 2013

This book covers all the basic concepts of PL/SQL and found it to be very useful for PL/SQL beginners like me, with very little prior exposure. It is extremely useful for the izo- 146 exam and is a good material to trust for exam. I recommend this book to everyone/anyone preparing for the exam.

Matheus Segalotto Aug 01, 2012

The book is very good. She understands very well the material covers the certification 1Z0-146 and may become a bedside book. I recommend everyone who want to get certified and meet the real power of PL / SQL. There are one or other improvement that can be done, but for now the book is well structured.I intend to take the OCP next month and the book is helping me a lot to prepare. The Saurabh K. Gupta developed a an excellent book for anyone who is starting in the world of PL / SQL advanced. Worth every penny invested.
