PLSQL Best Practices

How To Optimise and Improve Your PL/SQL Code

You don't need to spend time debugging your PL/SQL code or anaylsing log files, wondering why it's so slow.

When I started my career as an Oracle developer, I made many mistakes. I wrote slow code, used incorrect syntax, and almost crashed a production server!

Luckily I had more senior developers in the team who were able to educate me. But it took time.

I wasn't aware of the best way to write Oracle PL/SQL code.

I didn't know about any "best practices", or things to avoid.

But, now I do.

There are some ways of writing SQL and PL/SQL which will get you the result you need, but there are other ways you can write the query to get you the same result in a much more efficient way.

I've created a guide to these best practices. A guide that shows the best way to write and structure your PL/SQL code to avoid these kinds of issues.

You no longer have to think about what the best way is to perform a certain task or write some code in PL/SQL. You can follow these best practices to rewrite or update your code, check if there is a performance gain, and implement them.

This guide can be put into action right away.

I've included actionable information for over 25 best practices. I explain:

• what the tip is
  
• why it's advisable to follow
  
• code examples where relevant
  

All in a single PDF file.

Imagine having a single file that you can refer to whenever you're writing PL/SQL, to ensure that you're writing the most efficient code you can be.

Imagine the time you'll save when writing the code, when you know the different approaches you can take, and which one is generally better.

Imagine the improvements in run time when you start changing your PL/SQL code to be more efficient.

Why this guide?

I've scoured the Internet for a wide range of best practices that are widely used and current (not just from a single outdated website!)

I've also considered my own experience with Oracle and things I learnt while achieving my Oracle SQL Expert certification.

I'd like to present...
