We have a need to write some internal applications quickly and no development resources available for at least 6 months and I have been tasked with doing the initial apps (I'm the lead DBA). I have read and heard that APEX could be the right tool for us and we already have it licensed with our database. (10gR2). Can anyone recommend books for learning PL/SQL and/or APEX? I can write a pretty decent SQL statement but have never really done anything with PL/SQL. My junior DBA struggles at times with basic SQL statements so I'm really in need of good books for beginners. Is the Oracle documentation sufficient in your opinion? Thank for your suggestions. -- Sandy Transzap, Inc.
