Customer Reviews & Comments
I found some very good advice in this book for PL/SQL tuning. Using some of the examples on bulk loads and forall..inserts I was able to get hundredfold improvements in some row at a time loads. The examples were easy to understand and showed techniques for verifying performance effects. They could use a better proofreader, but on the whole, I think this is a good book for a PL/SQL developer.
