It is not so often when i can read a book that is really useful in my every-developer-day.
For PL/SQL programmers it is really the 'MUST HAVE' book.
Every chapter is really full of useful informations and tips on the Oracle 10gR2.
It gives me a real new interest in going deeper into efficient PL/SQL development (a sincere thank you to S.Feuerstein for this major book).
Reading that book, i have also discovered other very useful tools (like Ounit and utPLSQL) developped by the author.
Until now, i was mainly focused on ORACLE PRESS BOOKS (considering that they were supposed to always be the best to provide useful informations to Oracle developpers).
Unfortunalely i discovered that most of the money i spent into Oracle Press books was not so profitable (the lastest Oracle PL/SQL 10g is a real shame compared to this book).
=> I had to spent lot of time trying to find solutions or simply practical explanation on Internet.


If i had only one remark to the author of the 'Oracle PL/SQL Programming' release 4, it would deal with the miss of a chapter for programming PLSQL/XML (as it is supposed to be the most useful format these days !!!) => i have not found a very practical book on that subject.
