5.0 out of 5 stars This book got me through 2 years VSO service in Belize., 2 Jun 2001
By A Customer
If you are familiar with VB but wish to go into the world of database applications then this is the book for you. I have rarely read a book which explains concepts so clearly and hand-holds you through the basics of DAO, ADO, RDO and DCOM. In two years in Belize without access to a bookshop, this was the only source of information I needed to help me write some fairly sophisticated database applications.

If you are new to VB database applications, I honestly cannot recommend this book highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise, well-written, comprehensive tutorial!, 28 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I absolutely love this book! The book is so clear and easily readable, I found myself breezing through the examples. I loved the coverage of SQL Server and SQL itself. McManus doesn't assume that the reader has any other tool but VB6, and explained the many database features of the language that I had never used before. I did not even know that VB6 provided a SQL query designer.

McManus also delved into Active Server Pages and other topics that were very interesting, but reserved such subjects for the end of the book.

I loved the writing style and the tutorials. I found not a single error in the step-by-step instructions for setting up SQL Server or the connections in VB. This book is full of useful information, and is my sole reference on database programming in VB.

Summary: Novice Visual Basic database developers will love this book!

3.0 out of 5 stars What this book is not:, 10 Feb 2000
By A Customer
Designed with SQL7, SQL2000 and XML in mind. Purely ADO based (MS has seemingly dropped DAO & RDO) Brilliant for n-tier enterprise development.

What it is: Good for VB programmers who want to do small databases using Access, 2 tier stuff, DataAccess controls, good overview for people who haven't a clue about data access.

The book was published in Jan 1999 and as such is starting to look a little dated
