NEW ORACLE DEVELOPMENT GUIDE PROVIDES ANSWERS, ADVICE AND IDEAS

Create Powerful Applications Using The Oracle Database System

Berkeley, CA, January 30, 1996 -- Until today, help has been scarce for
database developers who wish to write powerful Oracle applications and
design fast, effective Oracle systems for their companies. Finally, there
is a guide that irons out the complexities of Oracle7, and teaches
developers everything they need to know to use this full-featured database
management system. Officially authorized by Oracle Corporation, Oracle
Developer's Guide by David McClanahan is a must-have for developers who
want to program in Oracle7. 

Oracle7 is a complex, feature-rich product, but Oracle Developer's Guide
puts it into perspective with useful, complete information. When it comes
to learning how to build effective Oracle7 applications and develop fast,
powerful, and secure systems, this is the first and only guide to bring it
all together for the database developer. For those developing an Oracle
database-either a single application or an entire system-this guide will
prove to be an invaluable resource. 

In Oracle Developer's Guide, author McClanahan, a recognized expert in
database design and analysis, demonstrates how to write peak-performance
database applications and supply the code that developers require for
numerous specific tasks. Written primarily for those with a C background
and some understanding of Structured Query Language (SQL), this rich
resource is ideal for Oracle newcomers and whizzes alike. It begins with
an orientation section, then details C and SQL database development,
providing full coverage of the Oracle7 architecture. It then discusses the
creation of distributed databases and spares no details on program
development using embedded SQL and the Oracle Call Interface. Advanced
developers will especially appreciate the in-depth discussions on
security, error handling, and optimizing performance.
