Teaching class with book: Oracle PL/SQL by Example...

For my night job, I'm once again teaching a PL/SQL class using the
book Oracle PL/SQL by Example 4th Ed at a local technical college.

I like the fact that this book has a lot of examples and exercises,
but dislike the fact that it teaches a lot of syntax without a real
world/best practices emphasis. So, that is the piece I am making sure
to add.

Here is an outline:

http://plsqltopics.wikispaces.com/

I am looking for comments, additions, suggestions, or criticisms. If
you see something that compels you to make a change, feel free to. If
you want to post an idea here, that's fine too.

cheers,
-d

What do you do in your day job Doug? I don't recall your posting here
recently.

For most of us in the oracle field it is going to take 2 or 3 years
(or more) of experience doing a lot of PLSQL before having enough
perspective on PLSQL to teach it well.

The ideal of bringing much more than some syntax awareness in a short
class on PLSQL in a technical college is a nice ideal ... but geez ...
it could be real far from doable.

Good luck in your class and let us know eventually how it went!
