The goal of this DOAG project is to document common best practises for PL/SQL development.

It is meant to give you something to think about, with links to get more in-depth information about the subject. It is NOT meant to teach you PL/SQL as such. If you are interested in learning PL/SQL from scratch, start here Where to start and here PL/SQL Tutorial and then consider buying this book Oracle PL/SQL Programming by Steven Feuerstein. Experienced PL/SQL developers often like this book for reference purposes: Oracle PL/SQL Language Pocket Reference.

Before learning PL/SQL, you should be familiar with SQL. If you are new to SQL, have a look here: SQL for Web Nerds and experiment with it at Oracle Live SQL

In case you are wondering what the heck we're talking about, have a look here to get an overview of what a database actually is: Oracle for Absolute Beginners
