Advanced Oracle features such as triggers and stored procedures make it possible to build databases that incorporate business rules - allowing companies to reengineer processes more quickly and effectively than ever. This is the "bible" for anyone designing complex Oracle databases that incorporate business rules.

The book presents a simple methodology which yields a highly-maintainable repository of triggers and stored procedures which are easy to manage and modify as the business changes. Topics covered include: declarative constraints; analyzing constraints through the data dictionary; PL/SQL program units; embedded SQL; data types and composite structures; error handling and exceptions; and interprocess communication.



The end-to-end resource for anyone developing business rules-based Oracle database applications.

• Thorough coverage of PL/SQL - and practical, "cookbook" techniques for using triggers, stored procedures, and other advanced Oracle features.

• Comprehensive troubleshooting and debugging techniques.

• CD-ROM includes complete source code library from the book.
