Summary: Wrong title on book
Review: 2/3 of this book is a general introduction to .NET, including ADO.NET. The rest of the book is an introduction to SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 and MySQL. As such it's a fairly good book, you will learn the basics of how to use .NET together with the major databases, but where is the highly scalable database application I wanted to read about? I already know .NET and database so I expected an interesting book about the subject promised by the title but that part is completely missing. Strange, why choose a title that doesn't describe the book?

Summary: The title of the book is very misleading!
Review: Most of the book is spent giving an over view of .NET and general methods of connecting to DB's. I would have thought anybody wanting to read a book on 'Building Highly Scalable DB's" would already know this basic stuff.
As a basic introduction to writing DB applications in .NET then it's okay, plain and simple.Glad I borrowed a colleagues copy!
