PL/SQL Best Practices

Overview In this excerpt from his upcoming book, Steven Feuerstein, widely recognized as one of the world's experts on the Oracle PL/SQL language, distills his many years of programming, writing, and teaching about PL/SQL into a set of PL/SQL "best practices" -- rules for writing code that is readable, maintainable, and efficient. Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices is a concise, easy-to-use summary of approximately 120 PL/SQL best practices in 10 major categories: PL/SQL program development, coding style, data structures, control structures, exception handling, writing SQL in PL/SQL, program and package construction, and built-in packages.
