Now in its fourth edition and covering Oracle Database 21c, this
best-selling book continues to bring you some of the best thinking on
how to apply Oracle Database to produce scalable applications that
perform well and deliver correct results. Tom Kyte and Darl Kuhn share a
simple philosophy: "you can treat Oracle as a black box and just stick
data into it, or you can understand how it works and exploit it as a
powerful computing environment." If you choose the latter, then you'll
find that there are few information management problems that you cannot
solve quickly and elegantly.
This fully revised fourth edition covers the developments and new
features up to Oracle Database 21c. Up-to-date features are covered for
tables, indexes, data types, sequences, partitioning, data loading,
temporary tables, and more. All the examples are demonstrated using
modern techniques and are executed in container and pluggable databases.
The book's proof-by-example approach encourages you to let evidence be
your guide. Try something. See the result. Understand why the result is
what it is. Apply your newfound knowledge with confidence. The book
covers features by explaining how each one works, how to implement
software using it, and the common pitfalls associated with it.
Don't treat Oracle Database as a black box. Get this book. Dive deeply
into Oracle Database's most powerful features that many do not invest
the time to learn about. Set yourself apart from your competition and
turbo-charge your career.
