Expert PL/SQL Practices is a book of collected wisdom on PL/SQL
programming from some of the best and the brightest in the field.
Each chapter is a deep-dive into a specific problem, technology, or
feature set that you'll face as a PL/SQL programmer. Each author
has chosen their topic out of the strong belief that what they
share can make a positive difference in the quality and scalability
of code that you write. The path to mastery begins with syntax and
the mechanics of writing statements to make things happen. If
you've reached that point with PL/SQL, then let the authors of
Expert PL/SQL Practices show you how to combine syntax and
mechanics with features and techniques to really make the language
sing. You'll learn to do more with less effort, to write code that
scales and performs well, and to eliminate and avoid defects. These
authors are passionate about PL/SQL and the power it places at your
disposal. They want you to succeed, to know all that PL/SQL can
offer. Let Expert PL/SQL Practices open your eyes to the full power
of Oracle's world-class language for the database engine. Goes
beyond the manual to cover good techniques and best practices
Delivers knowledge usually gained only by hard experience Covers
the functionality that distinguishes PL/SQLas apowerful andscalable
programming language for deploying logic inside the database engine
What you'll learn Learn when PL/SQL is best used, and when to avoid
it Move data efficiently using bulk SQL operations Write code that
scalesthrough pipelining, parallelism, and profiling Choose the
right PL/SQL cursor type for any given application Reduce coding
errors through sound development practices such as unit-testing
Create and execute SQL and PL/SQL dynamically at runtime Who this
book is for
Expert PL/SQL Practices is for PL/SQL developers who want to
develop deep expertise in key aspects of the language and its use
in database programming. Any developer writing code against
Oracle's class-leading database engine will find value from the
collected wisdom in this book. Some knowledge of PL/SQL is assumed.
Readers should at least be past the beginning stage with the
language. Table of Contents Do Not Use Dynamic SQL: Handling the
Unknown PL/SQL and Parallel Processing Warnings and Conditional
Compilation PL/SQL Unit Testing Bulk SQL Operations Know Your Code
Contract-Oriented Programming PL/SQL from SQL Choosing the Right
Cursor PL/SQL Programming in the Large Evolutionary Data Modeling
Profiling for Performance Coding Conventions and Error Handling
Dependencies and Invalidations
Systems as diverse as clocks, singing crickets, cardiac pacemakers, firing neurons and applauding audiences exhibit a tendency to operate in synchrony. These phenomena are universal and can be understood within a common framework based on modern nonlinear dynamics. The first half of this book describes synchronization without formulae, and is based on qualitative intuitive ideas. The main effects are illustrated with experimental examples and figures, and the historical development is also outlined. The second half of the book presents the main effects of synchronization in a rigorous and systematic manner, describing both classical results on synchronization of periodic oscillators, and recent developments in chaotic systems, large ensembles, and oscillatory media.

PL/SQL Optimization SolutionsIn Oracle PL/SQL Performance Tuning
Tips & Techniques, Oracle ACE authors with decades of
experience building complex production systems for government,
industry, and educational organizations present a hands-on approach
to enabling optimal results from PL/SQL. The book begins by
describing the discovery process required to pinpoint performance
problems and then provides measurable and repeatable test cases.
In-depth coverage of linking SQL and PL/SQL is followed by deep
dives into essential Oracle Database performance tuning tools.
Real-world examples and best practices are included throughout this
Oracle Press guide. Follow a request-driven nine-step process to
identify and address performance problems in web applications Use
performance-related database tools, including data dictionary
views, logging, tracing, PL/SQL Hierarchical Profiler, PL/Scope,
and RUNSTATS Instrument code to pinpoint performance issues using
call stack APIs, error stack APIs, and timing markers Embed PL/SQL
in SQL and manage user-defined functions Embed SQL in PL/SQL using
a set-based approach to handle large volumes of data Properly write
and deploy data manipulation language triggers to avoid performance
problems Work with advanced datatypes, including LOBs and XML Use
caching techniques to avoid redundant operations Effectively use
dynamic SQL to reduce the amount of code needed and streamline
system management Manage version control and ensure that
performance fixes are successfully deployed Code examples in the
book are available for download.
Why is it so difficult to find a good doctor, and see the doctor
when you have a problem? Why are you told to "go to the emergency
room?" Why is your "doctor" a nurse practitioner? The U.S. health
care system, heralded as the finest in the world, has been in
decline for a number of years. Here are the explanations for the
decline in availability of primary health care, its increasing
cost, and the increasingly impersonal care encountered by the
patient. Dr. Rosenblum, chosen by his peers as a leading physician
in his community, clarifies the many issues contributing to
deterioration of health care. He employs his experience as an
internist, and interviews with key individuals involved in health
policy and health care delivery. He proposes solutions to halt the
disintegration of primary health care, which if restored to its
former position of prominence, would reverse the downhill course of
medical care in the United States.
