Visual Basic 5 Database How-To: The Definitive Database Problem-Solver

Rating:
Summary: A Very Good Book Overall
Review: I would have definitely given this 5 stars if there were a bit more on ODBC/RDO and ADO; nonetheless, I have gotten a lot of mileage out of the book. Definitely a recommended read.

Summary: Good technically, but...
Review: If you want to learn to develop database apps using VB5, grab this one! Unlike some other teach-u-one-example books, it covers a lot of practical techniques of db programming. Most examples in the book are fully explained. No nonsense, straight-forward.

Summary: All topics covered...
Review: Starting with the simplest possible examples, this book rapidly progresses to cover a wide variety of intermediate (and a few advanced) database programming techniques. The examples are very clear for the most part, though they can be a bit redundant. Some readers may appreciate the incremental modification of the code examples, but to me it just looked like filler. Good coverage of DAO, ODBC, ISAM, and SQL topics. The book also contains a very helpful section on Crystal Reports.

Summary: Most Useful book I've ever bought
Review: This book is truly excellent, it covers everything that you ever have to do when working with VB and databases. It has very many examples, which are included on the CD and do really work!! These examples are very clearly explained and help a great deal in understanding some of the more complex topics. I would recommend this book to everyone who uses VB.
