Advanced Oracle PL/SQL Programming with Packages
by Steven Feuerstein


Here are new changes that appear in the 12/98 reprint:



{11} line 3:  "capture" is now in bold constant-width font



(21) para. 4, line 5 and line -1:  both occurances of "DMBS" now read "DBMS"



(27) line -7:
	"Provide a salary that does this"
now reads
	"Provide a procedure that does this"



(153) under the subheading "PL/Vision constants":

        dbtab CONSTANT VARCHAR2(2)  := 'DB'  ;

now reads

        dbtab CONSTANT VARCHAR2(2)  := 'DB' ;

(removed the extra space before the semi-colon)



{167} para. -2:  added the following sentence to the beginning of the paragraph
under "max_line VARCHAR2(1000)":

   "I had to "hard code" the 1000 again in this declaration because you
    must supply a literal when you declare a length for a VARCHAR2 string."

("literal" is in italics.)



(189) the heading "PLV1st: List Mananger":  "Mananger" now reads "Manager"



{338} Table 13-1, row 3:
	"UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILE-HANDLE"
now reads
	"UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILE_HANDLE"



{379} code sample 1, line 6:
	"display_line(line_ind)"
now reads
	"disp_line(line_ind)"



{413} Table 16-1, cloumn 3 ("Description"): row 1 now reads

    "Sets and retrieves the current string used as the author in a
     program header.  The default is NULL."

("NULL" is in constant width.)

and in the same column, row 2 now reads:

    "Set and retrieve the two types of indentation: initial and
     incremental.  The default for indent is 0 and for incremental is 3."



{544} para. 3, line -2, "...inside an IF statement in PLVcmt":

	"PLVcmt" now reads "PLVlog"
