General Information

Library Note

Morgan's Library Page Header

The best Oracle News for FY2026

Oracle Database 26ai will be available on generic Linux platforms in January and soon on AIX and Windows

Purpose

This page is a collection of links related to the coding, debugging, and tuning of code written in PL/SQL. Many library pages are pointed to multiple times as I have tried to list many of the keywords associated with, in some cases, the same topic and demos (Oracle keywords are capitalized). A subset of built-in PL/SQL packages is also identified that are major assets in PL/SQL development.
