Hello All,
I have lately become quite comfortable with SQL queries.
I want to put more hands on Oracle SQL queries and its syntax.
Wanted to know if there is any good book containing ample of exercises/assignments on basic Oracle SQL.

  • Suggested books/video series for learning oracle sql?

    What are some good books/ videos for a beginner to learn oracle sql?
    I learn best by being able to go through exercises.
    I am using Oracle 11g express edition and sql developer. In sql developer I have only one connection to the HR schema.
    Also, can I connect to the SCOTT schema in oracle 11g?

    Hi,
    The SQL Language reference is a great book, but its a bit dry for a beginner.
    How about starting with the Getting Started and 2 Day guides here
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/index.htm
    There are a lot of tutorials here as well
    https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44785:1:0::NO
    google will also bring up lots of hits as well

    Exam Guide (Exam 1Z0-051) by John Watson
    Roopesh Ramklass.
    please let me know other books of this series...Just downloading/purchasing the Books is not going to help you learn SQL. You will have to read and practice.
    My take is:
    1. Oracle Documentation -- Download from Here
    2. Effective Oracle by Design by Tom Kyte (Might have to purchase it as its not available for free download).
    Once you read these and practice simultaneously, you would be able to grasp much more than reading all the above 4-5 books mentioned.
    Also, I would say, to read just one of the books at a time than to make a mess by reading all and understanding none.

    Besides the documentation that BluShadow provided I would suggest the following books:

    Troubleshooting Oracle Performance (ISBN-13 978-1590599174)

  • Good book for learning pl/sql quickly

    Please suggest me a good book that covers all aspects of pl/sql in depth.
    Thanks in advance. :-)

    A good book for learning PL/SQL quickly?
    That is not a function of the book. That is a function of your ability to learn and understand new concepts. No book can make you learn "faster".
    Also, even before trying to learn PL/SQL, there are concepts and fundamentals to understand. Specifically:
    - [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/toc.htm]Oracle® Database Concepts
    - [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/toc.htm]Oracle® Database Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals
    - [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/toc.htm]Oracle® Database PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
    And after that, also have a look at Application Developer's Guide - Large Objects, Application Developer's Guide - Object-Relational Features. Not to mention the SQL Reference and the PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference guides.

  • Good book for oracle dba

    hi experts,
    I am new to oracle dba field. Can you please suggest methe name of a good book.
    Regards
    Rajat

    Maybe the best thing would be a course? Books are fine, but you will probably learn quicker by example. There are some reasonable CD-ROM/DVD courses out there (not naming any). Google for some and check their rating. I know of no single book that would offer as much as a decent course. Once you are up to speed, then, yes, you'll be seeking out the better books. Finally, the 2-day guides in Oracle's docs. are really worth reading, and re-reading. But the docs, by themselves, are a bit dry. If you can afford an Oracle University course, or (my preference) Learning Tree (and, no, I do not work for them, etc.), then go for that - you won't regret it.
    All IMHO!
