Beginning Oracle SQL is your introduction to the interactive query
tools and specific dialect of SQL used with Oracle Database. These tools
include SQL*Plus and SQL Developer. SQL*Plus is the one tool any
Oracle developer or database administrator can always count on, and it
is widely used in creating scripts to automate routine tasks. SQL
Developer is a powerful, graphical environment for developing and
debugging queries.
Oracle's is possibly the most valuable dialect of SQL from a career
standpoint. Oracle's database engine is widely used in corporate
environments worldwide. It is also found in many government
applications. Oracle SQL implements many features not found in competing
products. No developer or DBA working with Oracle can afford to be
without knowledge of these features and how they work, because of the
performance and expressiveness they bring to the table.
