PL/SQL, integrated with the Oracle database, is the procedural extension of SQL. This book is for PL/SQL beginners. When they finish reading the book and trying its examples, they would have equipped themselves with basic PL/SQL skills to start writing PL/SQL programs in a real-world development project. The second edition has three new chapters (Records & Collection, Privileges, and PL/SQL in Java), and five new topics added in existing chapters (Transaction, DDL statements, Stored Programs, Package, and Trigger)
