Product Description

Product Description
Book and CD-ROM. This book provides an innovative treatment on the art of database programming for highly experienced Delphi developers. This addition to Wordware's Tomes of Delphi series begins with a comprehensive introduction to relational databases, including design issues and the SQL language. The book then focuses on the Delphi database tool-the Borland Database Engine, data access components, and data-aware components-and their use in developing projects. The final section of the book is devoted to the API's architecture and usage, along with a reference guide to all the functions.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for advanced Users. Very disappointing., 5 Nov 1999
By A Customer
The book claims to be for advanced users but is nothing more than a beginners guide. All advanced topics are just listed at the and under the BDE API Quick Reference Chapter. I was hoping to find more in-depth treatment of these with some good examples.

I also missed chapters on how to deal with more complicated problems like database corruption and was expecting more exhausive covering on important issues like maintaining indexes at runtime.

For a book dedicated to database development I would have expected a lot more. The 365 pages would have been a good introduction before going into the real meat of database davelopment. Apart from the Reference at the end of the book nearly all material can be learned from more general books on Delphi.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not "Advanced", not "The Tomes of Delphi", 21 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This book vastly disappointed me. When I ordered it, no reader's comments where available and I pin my hopes only on its appearance in beautiful "The Tomes of Delphi" series and it's "advanced" level. This misleads me. I am not sure that the book can be recommended even for beginners. Maybe it is good as some introduction to database programming giving general effect, useless for practical programming. It does not contain interesting examples and comments. Integrated Delphi help-system gives to user much more information than can be found in this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment, 15 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This book classifies itself as 'Advanced', whereas most of the book is for beginners. I bought the book for more information on Delphi + SQL and found only the most basic examples.
