Thank you for purchasing Oracle 10g PL/SQL Programming!

The examples provided here are divided by chapter, and match those found in the book. Each chapter contains a script to create the schema with all necessary permissions. The permissions granted for the schemas change between chapters, so be sure to run the schema creation script for each chapter and not rely on the one created in another chapter. To avoid permissions problems it is highly recommended that the schema creation script we provide be used, but you may also create your own schema as long as all required privileges are granted.

The examples for each chapter are created to run independent of objects created in other chapters. In other words - no cross-chapter dependencies. This means you can jump from chapter 10 to 17, and have no problem running chapter 17's examples.

When creating your database, be sure to install Oracle Text as it is used for examples in multiple chapters. If not installed, some examples will not work and you will receive errors on schema creation. Oracle Text is included in both Standard and Enterprise editions, so either release can be used.

All examples were tested on Windows and Linux ports of Oracle 10g Release 1. Should you have ANY problem with the examples, feel free to e-mail FEEDBACK@PLSQLBOOK.COM, and we will respond to the issue promptly.

Thank you!
