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
Regards
Andre

  • 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.

  • Which book is best for learning Lightroom 5 for a complete beginner?

    I'm an Aperture user and as everyone has heard the news, a lot of us are considering switching over. I went through the Apple pro-training aperture, logic, and FCP books and loved the format of those. I've been reviewing my options for LR5 books on Amazon and I see a couple, Kelby, Evening, and The Adobe Classroom in a book. I kind of like the classroom in a book format as it resembles the Apple book's format. Which book is best for learning LR5, from a complete beginner's perspective?

    I would avoid Kelby like the plague. I didn't like his book, I felt his chapters on the Library module were effectively useless and off the mark.
    I would start with the free e-book Lightroom 5 - Free Quick Start Guide PDF eBook | The Lightroom Queen
    I would also watch some videos at Products | Lightroom | Adobe TV

  • Recommened book for learning PL/SQL

    I've been trying to learn PL/SQL from Oracle's documentation, and I'm a bit tired of it.
    All the information is there, but you really need to scan back and forth to collect all the bits you need. It is rather difficult.
    Can you recommend a good book? I want to learn all the idea and concepts, not just the syntax. So please don't direct me to "Learn PL/SQL in 21 days".
    Thanks.

    It may be true that one can get away with documentation. However, it greatly depends on your background. If you learn language X, and this is your very first exposure to programming, you won't find documentation inspirational. You will suffer with badly chosen textbook too. As you progress, the matter of a good book becomes less and less important. You may find that for learning your second language you don't need a book, and this is especially true in the era of internet, when there is a great competition among web tutorials.
    My apology for not being specific, but the matter of finding a good book is easy -- you just go to amazon, find several with high ASR, and chose the one based upon readers reviews. You will unlikely to expect better feedback to your question here.

  • Literature for learning PL/SQL

    Hi all
    Can someone advise me about good books to learn PL/SQL. I am newbie.

    Oracle PL/SQL Programming by Steven Feuerstein & Bill Pribyl is very good.
    I also liked Mastering Oracle PL/SQL: Practical Solutions by Connor McDonald.
    I haven't read the Tim Hall one but I'm sure it's worth a look if you are not put off by the publisher's fondness for annoying marketing phrases phrases like "Expert Secrets" and "High Performance Programming".
    Avoid Oracle Database 10g PL/SQL Programming (Oracle Press), Urman/Hardman/Mclaughlin, it's terrible.

    Hi,
    I have already posted a thread regarding Data Flow diagram for existing source code. But I couldn't find find where exactly I have posted. So here I am posting my observations. I would like to prepare a Data Flow diagram for existing Source code. Using Visustin V7 I got the Data Flow Diagram. But am not able to export or Save or Print the diagram. As some one suggested it is possible to get the DFD using Visio. But am not able to get the DFD. Here am getting the problem like , Gave user name and Server name by connecting to ODBC. But still am not getting the required DFD.
    Can you please suggest me is there any way to get the DFD using Visio or any tool is there to get the DFD.
    Please advice.
    Thanks.

  • Books or document for learning linux (oracle)

    Hi,
    Before I drill into Oracle DBA on Oracle Linux, I want to build some basic linux knowledge first. Which book is the best for me to start with my goal? tutorial like?
    Thanks
    Fei Li

    You don't say what your background is, so I'm guessing you are Microsoft Windows literate. You can use the GUI to do some administration acts such as re-arranging folders and searching for files. With the Linux desktop, you will probably feel quite at home after a very short while.
    There is a totally ginormous amount of Linux on the Internet, but be careful: a lot of it is stale. (Read that as was-once-right-but-now-is-wrong.) This is a pretty good place to start browsing:
    http://www.linux.com/learn/new-user-guides
    Go down to the bookstore and get "Linux for Dummies".
    Now, that being said, there is quite a different skill set needed to know about Linux "under the hood", but I don't think you are concerned about that for now. So download a live-cd version of Fedora (http://fedoraproject.org), put it in the CDROM, and reboot. You are now running Linux without doing anything to your hard drive. Browse around the desktop, check out the various programs. Most Windows applications have Linux counterparts under different names; navigate the menus based on what you want to do, not looking for a particular application program name.
    You'll run across frequent references to other distributions (Ubuntu, for one) but I recommend Fedora because it's the most similar to Oracle Linux (OL). Oracle Linux is a server distribution, not a desktop distribution. That means OL probably won't recognize some of your laptop hardware, or do gazillions of triangles per second on the video screen. Avoid frustration by using a distribution oriented to a desktop/laptop paradigm.
    Once you get comfortable with Linux on a live-cd, you'll want to install it to your hard drive. This can be a challenge because Windows usually squats on the whole disk drive leaving no room for Linux. The only tricky part of a Linux installation is to convince Windows to move over and make room. Fortunately, you don't need to do this.
    Having more than one operating system on a disk is called "dual-boot". Dual-boot is so-o-o last millennium :) What I recommend is to download VirtualBox (http://www.VirtualBox.org) onto your Windows or Fedora box and create an Oracle Linux virtual guest. There are even some pre-configured OL setups available via that web site or the http://eDelivery.oracle.com distribution site.

  • Video tutorials for learning Catalyst

    Need more help learning Catalyst?
    The video from many sessions at this year's Max conference are available here:
    http://tv.adobe.com/search/?q=catalyst
    Enjoy,
    Ty

    Since you know the basics of Photoshop most of the books would probably not do you much good.  But you have several options.
    One is video tutorials without the sound.  I have used them this way when I can not hear it well enough or person has accent.  The trick it to view in full screen and have you finger on the pause button.  Then write down the steps they are doing.  Even thought they are saying what they are doing most show the mouse clicks, but they can be quick, and you may have to play a couple of times to see what they are doing.  If you are somewhat familiar with the program you may be able to guess what they are doing to bring up the tool or step.
    The other option is to go to a bookstore and page through some of the more advanced issues to see if the cover what you want.  Since you need CS5 you can look at either CS5 or CS6 instruction, and just disregard the new stuff for CS6.  Martin Evening is a well respected photoshop author that you can check out.  I have "Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Photographers" and it is quite though.  It also comes with a DVD showing some of the techniques.
    Hope this helps.

  • Suggestions on video converter for MacBook?

    Hi all,
    Was wondering if I might pick the brains of the other mac users out there...I'm trying to find out what the best software is for video file conversion between formats - most notably video files to DVD format, for Mac. From what I can see, iSkysoft DVD Creator and ImTOO DVD Creator appear to be two of the most comprehensive, but this is not my area of expertise.
    Any thoughts from Mac users, or video converters in general?
    Thanks!

    To create DVDs, simply use iDVD.
    If you want other conversions, MPEG Streamclip does a good job and is free.
