Here's a video I recorded of a webcast to a team of developers who had one hour to spare to learn about some PL/SQL best practices. I offer tips on using compile time warnings, avoiding hard-coding/repetition, using nested subprograms and in the performance arena, lightning fast coverage of FORALL, function result cache, NOCOPY and PRAGMA UDF. Fun stuff and here's the guide:

03:00 Compile-time warnings
16:25 Don’t repeat anything
21:15 Tips on writing SQL in PL/SQL
24:50 Avoid hard-coding of formulas
28:35 Keep executable sections tiny
35:15 Avoid row-by-row processing
42:10 Function result cache
54:28 NOCOPY parameter hint
56:02 Optimizing user-defined function execution in SQL
