Oracle 9i Programming is a concise, streamlined introduction to Oracle SQL. It is ideal for students and professionals learning about databases.

The first part of this book offers a basic review of the relational model, then moves on to an introduction to Oracle SQL and PL/SQL. The second part introduces related technologies that facilitate Oracle Web functionality. There are chapters on SQLJ, Java Servlets and Oracle XML. The final chapter of this book is composed of a number of sample projects and programming applications that implement the basic concepts covered in this brief primer. All of the book's examples are updated to reflect Oracle 9i.

  • Offers a brief introduction to all the Oracle students need to know for a first database course.
  • Uses three running examples throughout the chapters (grade book, mail order database, and portfolio database).
  • Contains a final chapter with a handful of suggested database projects readers can use to practice covered concepts.
  • Includes end-of-chapter exercises.

  • NEW! Fully revised to incorporate Oracle 9i.
  • NEW! Includes material on PL/SQL Web Toolkit, PSP, Java Servlets, JSP, and Oracle XML.
  • NEW! Contains new projects in the final chapter of the book.
