Oracle Database 11g and
MySQL 5. 6 Developer
Handbook is a compara-
tive reference to support
developers moving from MySQL to Oracle
Database or vice versa. The book compares
and demonstrates development environ-
ments, architecture, security, transac-
tions, and referential integrity concepts. It
compares and contrasts SQL dialects and
approaches across the spectrum of SQL
commands and discusses their portability.
The book also compares and contrasts
stored programs in both databases and dis-
cusses their design portability. The author
provides clear examples, instructions, and
explanations for porting dialects between
Oracle Database and MySQL and offers best
practices throughout the chapters.

This book covers data
migration, consolidation,
and integration, the three components
that are usually part of the information
integration lifecycle. Organizations typically
find themselves migrating data to Oracle
Database and at the same time or later, con-
solidating multiple database instances into
a single global instance for a department or
even an entire company. This book discusses
the business and technical benefits of data
consolidation and shows you how to use
Oracle technologies to achieve them. The
authors offer readers hands-on advice using
tools and best practices.

Expert PL/SQL Practices is
a book of collected wisdom
on PL/SQL programming.
Each chapter is a deep dive into a specific
problem, technology, or feature set. The
path to PL/SQL mastery begins with syntax
and the mechanics of writing statements
to make things happen. If you’ve reached
that point with PL/SQL, this book will 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. The 15 authors cover when to use
PL/SQL, employment in large projects, unit
testing, debugging, contract-oriented pro-
gramming, performance, bulk operations,
and much more.

Oracle Database 11g
Performance Tuning
Recipes is a ready refer-
ence for DBAs in need of immediate help
with performance issues relating to Oracle
Database. The book takes an example-based
approach in providing proven solutions
to real-life Oracle performance problems.
Relevant background and theory are pro-
vided to support each solution. Whatever
the task, if it’s performance-related, you’ll
probably find a recipe and a solution in this
book. However, performance problems are
rarely “problems” per se. They are more
often “crises” during which you’re pressured
for quick results. That’s when you need a
book of solutions, such as those included in
this book.
