Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
As a tutorial, Beginning ASP Databases offers an entry point to one of the most crucial aspects of Microsoft oriented web development--database integration with Active Server Pages. In Beginning ASP Databases, a trio of authors covers the basics of working with databases from ASP--especially using ActiveX Database Objects (ADO).

The book is quite substantive in content but is written in a somewhat light-hearted style that makes readers new to the technology comfortable. The authors begin with a discussion of the benefits of ASP and ADO and then explain how to configure the technology on the various flavours of Windows. From there, they show how to access databases using ADO, demystify how it all works and focus on several key areas including debugging, SQL and stored procedures.

Plenty of code examples are included and each is captioned well with step-by-step explanations. Exercises and quizzes also complement the material. Throughout the book the authors identify some quite useful techniques to employ and traps to watch for--nuggets of knowledge that will set new ASP programmers on the right track. A lengthy case study ties it all together with a real world example.

If you're planning on building web sites on the Microsoft platform, ASP/ADO database access knowledge is essential. This fine guide offers a smooth way to get up to speed. --Stephen W Plain, Amazon.com

Topics covered: ADO/OLE DB architecture, SQL, record sets, databases and cookies, error handling, Command object, stored procedures, irregular data handling, performance testing and tuning. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
This book explains, demonstrates, and applies techniques that intersect with two great tools of the Information Age. The first tool-- the database--is relatively old. While the second tool, the Internet, is still quite young. And when you pair these tools--voila! You can create powerful web pages. With the help of this book, you will learn to incorporate databases into your ASP applications using ADO (which provides a set of objects that you can connect to, read from, and write to). You'll gain comfort installing necessary software handling stored procedures. And this book will answer many real-world questions, complete with code for you to copy and paste.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok introduction to ASP databases, but very long winded, 13 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning ASP Databases (Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)
I bought this book after reading Wrox's "Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0" thinking it would expand on the three chapters on databases. After wading through a few chapters, I began to realise that I was learning very little more. "Beginning ASP Databases" doesn't go into much more depth but seems to explain things much less concisely. I may be mistaken, but it also uses wildly different programming conventions than other similar Wrox titles, making the example code more difficult to follow. I would recommend "Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0" as a clearer, more concise introduction to ASP databases, even though it only devotes three chapters to the subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource book for ASP Databases, 18 May 2001
This review is from: Beginning ASP Databases (Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)
Taught me all I was looking for, i.e. how to link ASP pages to databases. The book recommends prior knowledge of ASP scripting, but it is so comprehensive that you don't need to know it beforehand (I didn't). It guides you through setting up Microsoft Personal Web Server, linking it to your Access Database, and constantly points out the main pitfalls encountered in each process. Overall, very good value, but it's a shame there was no CD with the source code included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Primer, well written, ideal for the ASP rookie., 8 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning ASP Databases (Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)
If you're relatively new to the world of ASP-ADO and looking for a launch pad for database work with this technology then BUY THIS BOOK. It starts off running you through the installation of ASP for Win95/98 and NT (something that is taken for granted in most books). On the front cover you'll notice the author says, "You'll find exactly what you need to start using databases in your ASP pages" - this is very true and the style in which it is written is very user-friendly and logical. Obviously you will want to graduate onto something a bit more advanced once you get the hang of ADO, but for starters, so long as you have a basic grasp of ASP, this is ideal. Bravo, Monsieur Kauffman, you da man.
