SQL*Plus Syntax and Solutions.
Intermediate Level Users.
This book is truly the definitive guide to SQL*Plus. It describes SQL*Plus from start to finish and provides a quick reference to all of the tool's commands and options. Most importantly, it describes in step-by-step fashion, how to perform all of the tasks the user could possibly want to perform (and many they might not realise they could perform) with SQL*Plus. For example, users will learn how to write and execute script files, generate and format ad-hoc reports, as well as extract data from databases.
The book also covers the new administrative features of SQL*Plus (new in Oracle8i: these features previously required Server Manager). It is an indispensable resource for users who are new to SQL*Plus, a task-oriented tool for those who are already using it, and a quick reference for every user.
