What programming languages are most similar to PL\SQL in structures and concepts? C++ ?? [sig][/sig]
 
I'd say it's closer to Pascal than C/C++. It's not really object oriented. It is structured. It has user definable types (but not very rich). It is *not* strongly typed since it will try to perform automatic type conversions.

If you need a tutorial on the language, my favorite book is "Oracle PL/SQL Programming" by Steven Feuerstein, ISBN 1-56592-142-9. Mr. Feuerstein also has a company called RevealNet ( which specializes in PL/SQL tools.
