Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Professional Visual Basic 6 Databases provides some of the latest in think about creating business objects using Visual Basic (VB) 6 and MTS on the Microsoft platform. This book is perfect for those readers with previous VB experience who want to bring their skills up-to-speed to today's three-tiered architectures.

Besides a tour of creating useful VB 6 objects that work in conjunction with MTS for transaction support, this books includes two standout sections. First, its introduction to using SQL includes not only a guide to the basics, but also a thorough tour of joins, grouping options, and stored procedures. Another excellent chapter shows off the basics of data warehouses, along with the Microsoft Dimension and Cube wizards used to generate them on SQL Server 7.0.

The overall shape of this book starts with using Microsoft tools to build older-style two-tiered VB application. Next, it's a state-of-the-art three-tiered approach where VB 6 runs objects on the middle-tier using ADO, MTS, and SQL Server stored procedures on the back-end. (The author also shows off some useful tips for optimizing network traffic with remote objects.) The book closes with an ASP-based example for an e-commerce shopping cart, bringing the whole book around to today's thin client, browser-based interfaces. Handy reference sections provide quick lookup's for all ADO objects.

Overall, Professional Visual Basic 6 Databases delivers a solid tutorial geared toward the intermediate VB programmer. It's all you need to be productive with Microsoft's "official" three- tiered approach for building robust applications.--Richard Dragan, amazon.com

Topics covered: ADO, ODBC, and SQL basics; two- and three-tiered architectures; SQL Server 6.5/7.0 stored procedures and triggers; Microsoft data warehousing; MOLAP, ASPs, and deployment.

Book Description
Visual Basic is the #1 programming tool in the world and 70% of VB applications involve a database. However, there is little advanced information for VB database programmers that has been proven in the real world.

This book has broad coverage of many issues relating to advanced database design and implementation using VB6. The main feature is the demonstration of the 3 tier solution, enabling more scalable applications.

From the coverage of 2 tier solutions a thorough grounding of SQL Server 7, ADO and Database design is provided. The graduation to 3 tier applications is achieved through a practical demonstration of the techniques learned.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does exactly what it says on the cover, 14 May 2001
By A Customer
If you already have knowledge of VB6 & SQL Server then this book takes away all the mysteries of the client/server application and beyond. By far the best book I have come across for explaining the methods of sending and receiving parameters between VB and SQL Server when dealing with stored procedures. A superb reference with a usefull appendix.

Do yourself a favour BUY IT !!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, except for the index, 30 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This is a great book, just the right balance of practical and theory, readable, relevant. My only qualm is that the index is frustratingly useless. Practically everything I've wanted to refer to isn't there, so you have to waste time trawling through the book for the required information.
