5.0 out of 5 stars The book that gave me most, 29 Jul 1999
By A Customer
What I most like about this book is that it's not only shows you how to do something, but also tells you why to do it - the thing I've been missing from lots of other books. The language is a bit difficult to follow, but after couple of chapters I got used to it. This book gave me so much, I have to mark it 5. The best book I had so far

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money on this., 19 May 1999
By A Customer
Just when you think he might give you some useful information, he blurts out some attempt at humor. I'm trying to learn access to SQL/Server from Visual Basic and he' trying to be funny. And by the way, where's the code! Be forewarned, this book has very little code examples of whatever it is Mr. Vaughn is trying to explain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vaughn does it again, 27 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Make sure you get the 6th Edition for the latest ADO stuff.

Vaughn's practical approach continues to entertain and educate with his from-the-trenches perspective. You can tell that he's really sat at the keyboard and tried to do real development with VB6 and SQL Server.

Not a tutorial or a complete reference, but chock full of technical nuggets, MS insight and practical advice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference
This is a good book for experienced programmer. I found it very useful. It, however, does have some examples do not work. Don't recommand to the novice.

The first 200 pages of the book (discussing the general concepts of database design and access) are very well written, but the rest is basically 'out of the product documentation'... Read more
