The book "Practical Database Programming with SQL and PL/SQL" is the result of my enthusiasm on database technologies, the need to write a guide to SQL and PL/SQL programming that can be practical and complete. Today in the digital world, databases have become a core element of all applications of software development, data managing and business intelligence. SQL, the language of relational databases, and PL/SQL, the extended PL/SQL procedure, the languages needed by functional IT personnel working with Oracle databases.

I have written this book to cater for individuals who have just started learning database programming and also those who want to learn more about SQL and PL/SQL. Whether you are a student, looking for a job as a professional developer, or you an IT expert already and you need to add skills in database programming, this book has something to enrich your skills.
