<p>If you write programs to run against an Oracle database, you spend a lot of time and mental energy writing queries to return the data your programs need. Knowledge of SQL, and particularly of Oracle's implementation of SQL, is the key to writing good queries in a timely manner. In this book, the authors share their knowledge of Oracle SQL, and show you many creative techniques that you can use to advantage in your own applications.This book shows you how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Leverage Oracle's vast library of built-in SQL functions</li>
<li>Query time-based data, and write joins involving date and time ranges</li>
<li>Use Oracle SQL's hierarchical query features to deal with data best represented in a tree format</li>
<li>Use DECODE and CASE to implement conditional logic in your queries</li>
<li>Use Oracle's new, analytic SQL features to write ranking queries, lag and lead queries, windowing queries, and more</li>
<li>Join data from two or more tables using the newly supported SQL92 join syntax</li>
</ul>In addition, you'll see how SQL can best be integrated with PL/SQL. You'll also learn various best practices to help you write SQL queries that perform efficiently.Precious few books on the market today go beyond discussing syntax and the barest rudiments of using Oracle SQL. This book changes that, showing you how to creatively leverage the full power of SQL to write queries in an Oracle environment.

<p>The vast majority of Oracle Sql books discuss some syntax, provide the barest rudiments of using Oracle Sql, and perhaps include a few simple examples. It might be enough to pass a survey course, or give you some buzz words to drop in conversation with real Oracle Dbas. But if you use Oracle Sql on a regular basis, you want much more. You want to access the full power of Sql to write queries in an Oracle environment. You want a solid understanding of what's possible with Oracle Sql, creative techniques for writing effective and accurate queries, and the practical, hands-on information that leads to true mastery of the language. Simply put, you want useful, expert best practices that can be put to work immediately, not just non-vendor specific overview or theory. Updated to cover the latest version of Oracle, Oracle 10g, this edition of the highly regarded Mastering Oracle Sql has a stronger focus on technique and on Oracle's implementation of Sql than any other book on the market. It covers Oracle s vast library of built-in functions, the full range of Oracle Sql query-writing features, regular expression support, new aggregate and analytic functions, subqueries in the Select and With clauses, multiset union operators, enhanced support for hierarchical queries: leaf and loop detection, and the Connect_By_Root operator, new partitioning methods (some introduced in Oracle9i Release 2), and the native Xml datatype, Xmltype. Mastering Oracle Sql, 2nd Edition fills the gap between the sometimes spotty vendor documentation, and other books on Sql that just don't explore the full depth of what is possible with Oracle-specific Sql. For those who want to harness the untapped (and often overlooked) power of Oracle Sql, this essential guide for putting Oracle Sql to work will prove invaluable.</p>

<p>Parallel processing is becoming increasingly important to database computing. Databases often grow to enormous sizes and are accessed by huge numbers of users. This growth strains the ability of single-processor and single-computer systems to handle the load. More and more, organizations are turning to parallel processing technologies to give them the performance, scalability, and reliability they need. Anyone managing a large database, a database with a large number of concurrent users, or a database with high availability requirements--such as a heavily trafficked e-commerce site--needs to know how to get the most out of Oracle's parallel processing technologies.<i>Oracle Parallel Processing</i> is the first book to describe the full range of parallel processing capabilities in the Oracle environment, including those new to Oracle8<i>i.</i> It covers:</p>
<ul>
<li>What is parallel processing--features, benefits, and pitfalls. Who needs it and who doesn't? What features does Oracle provide, and what are their requirements and overhead implications? The book answers these questions and presents the various parallel architectures (SMP, or Symmetric Multiprocessing; MPP, or Massively Parallel Processing; clustered systems; and NUMA, or Non Uniform Memory Access).</li>
<li>Oracle parallel execution--Oracle supports a variety of parallel execution features in the database. The book covers the use, administration, and tuning of these features: parallel query, parallel data loading, parallel DML (Data Manipulation Language), parallel object creation (through DDL, or Data Definition Language), and parallel replication propagation.</li>
<li>Oracle Parallel Server--Oracle also provides the OPS option, which work to be spread over both multiple CPUs and multiple nodes. This book covers OPS architecture, requirements, administration, tuning, storage management, recovery, and application failover issues. </li>
</ul>
<i>Oracle Parallel Processing</i> also contains several case studies showing how to use Oracle's parallel features in a variety of real-world situations.

<p>Sql Loader is a ubiquitous tool in the Oracle world. It has been shipped with Oracle since at least Version 6 and continues to be supported and enhanced with each new version of Oracle, including Oracle8 and Oracle8 i. The job of Sql Loader is to load data from flat files into an Oracle database. It's optimized for loading large volumes of data, and is flexible enough to handle virtually any input format. Almost every Oracle user has to use Sql Loader at one time or another, and Dbas are frequently called upon to load data for the users in their organization. Despite Sql Loader's wide availability and usage, few Dbas and developers know how to get the most out of it. Oracle Sql Loader: The Definitive Guide has everything you need to know to put Sqlloader to its best use: an introduction to Sql Loader, a reference to all of its syntax options, and most importantly, step-by-step instructions for all the Sql Loader tasks you'd want to perform-and maybe some you didn't realize you Could perform. You'll learn how to construct the necessary control files and load from different types of files containing different types of data (e.g. fixed-width data, delimited data, and data of various datatypes). You'll also learn how to validate data, load it selectively, transform it as it is loaded, and recover after failure. This book explains how to optimize Sql Loader performance by adjusting the transaction size and using the new direct path option. It also covers the newest Sql Loader features-the loading of large object (Lob) columns and the new object types (nested tables, varying arrays, and object tables). Oracle Sql Loader: The Definitive Guide is an indispensable resource for anyone who is new to Sqlloader; a task-oriented learning tool for those who are already using it; and a quick reference for every user. If you want to take best advantage of an essential Oracle tool, you need this book.</p>
