Version-String Handling with PL/SQL
Wrapping some functionality into a nice little PL/SQL package can make your life so much easier.
I demonstrate this with a small utility-package to deal with Version-Strings.

Here is the revisited version that also removes a bit of code duplication.

Split a String into Rows by Delimiter (with Pure SQL)
Sometimes we have data that is not split into columns and rows, but SQL can only really thrive on structured data.
But thanks to recursive queries we can split any string into rows – with pure SQL.

Well-Testable Code: Dealing with the “Popular Sith”-Sequence
My last example of controlling a sequence to test some default-behavior was not “well-testable” PL/SQL code.
In this example I show how we can achieve a method that is much easier to test, doesn’t require touching internals – all without changing the public API of the method.

utPLSQL and ORA-04061 – Global State and Package Invalidation
A combination of Package global state and Package invalidation can easily lead to ORA-04061 errors, especially in unit-testing situations.
This blog-post explains the problem and shows possible solutions (all with examples)

Let Tests Tell a Story With utPLSQL Nested Contexts
Unit-Tests are automated checks of certain behavior. But what if we could also use them to describe what the functionality they’re checking is supposed to do?
