Building Oracle XML Applications
by Steve Muench Paperback - 792 pages Bk&Cd-Rom edition (October 2000) O'Reilly & Associates ISBN: 1565926919 Dimensions (in inches): 1.55 x 9.19 x 7.02 Amazon.com: Aimed at Oracle professionals planning or doing XML work, this in-depth guide, covering Oracle8 and Oracle8i, comes from Oracle's lead XML technical evangelist, Steve Muench. No prior knowledge of XML is required to dive into the book, but readers are assumed to be familiar with SQL and with programming using Java or PL/SQL. Building Oracle XML Applications introduces XML, gives an overview of Oracle XML technologies, and shows what they do and how they fit together. There is a focus on JDeveloper, Oracle's Java and XML development tool, which can be installed from the CD-ROM, and there are plenty of hands-on examples of how to use it. Then there are chapters on processing XML with PL/SQL or Java, transforming XML with XSLT, publishing data with XSQL pages, generating datagrams (XML documents used for exchanging data), and techniques for storing and loading XML data. The final section concentrates on Oracle XML applications, and topics include an XSQL publishing framework, Java extension functions, and using XSQL and XSLT to build personalized portals and discussion forums. This fast-paced handbook is packed with example code. The presentation is clear, and the technical content is based on the author's deep knowledge of Oracle in general and XML technologies in particular. Highly recommended. --Tim Anderson, Amazon.co.uk From Book News, Inc.: In a volume aimed mainly at Java and PL/SQL developers who want to use XML (document markup language) in conjunction with Oracle databases, a developer working on Oracle Business Components for Java uses extensive examples in overviewing XML concepts and standards, XML technologies, and building custom applications. Assumes familiarity with SQL and either Java or PL/SQL as a programming language, but not XML. Includes installation and online reference material, and a CD-ROM containing Oracle... Customer Reviews Reviewer: A reader from Menlo Park, CA USA This is perhaps the best book on XML written so far. Stepping out from the stereotype model of writing a book in XML, the material provides deep insight into the Oracle XML capacities by providing real world examples and issues faced with reading/writing XML datagrams from databases through Oracle XML capacities and covers a wide gamut of issues (mostly performance) faced by application developers in using XML as the format for data exchange and solutions to counter most of these issues. The best part of the book are the chapters on XSLT and the numerous examples that shows the power of XSLT in rendering and transforming XML data. The book is highly recommended for both beginners and experienced programmers in XML(/Java). There is something for every level of reader interested in using XML for B2B applications. Reviewer: Chris Cortes from The Woodlands, TX United States This book delivers on its cover promises. I was recently scheduled to consult on an Oracle XML application, and I decided to purchase this book to give me a better understanding of the requirements of the task that was ahead of me. Without this book, I would have been going into a completely foreign land without a guide. A great read for developers needing to learn about XML, and in particular the way that Oracle implements XML in their applications. Reviewer: dougbieber from Los Angeles, CA United States This book is great. I already had some understanding of XML and related technologies, but needed to figure-out how to solve certain problems. This book demonstrates a variety of approaches to get an XML document into a database. I haven't read the book cover-to-cover, but have used it for the purpose of problem solving. This book is not a reference, but contains solutions. Any...can learn a syntax or a tools definition. This book goes beyond that. |
