PL/Sql

[oguevarra]

Not sure how many of you use PL/SQL but we are using it here at work and I would like to get familar with it. I've been looking on the net and can't find good information to where I can start learning it. I'd like to setup my computer to use it. I know you need the oracle database which I have.

Did you install the Oracle Client tools? Are you trying to learn how to use the Oracle tools to write PL/SQL?

The Oracle tool is called SQL Plus. Its a step above a command line interface, and a small step it is.

Quest makes a great product called TOAD. You still write your SQL and commands, but at least you can edit a lot easier.

The first thing you want to learn is SQL. Then its just a matter of learning Oracle's procedurel commands, which is the learning curve.

I recommend getting an book on learning PL/SQL, and then using the internet to figure out what the heck the command actually does.
