Summary: No code CD attached to the Book
Review: I couldn't find source code for this book on publisher's web site. That mean to test those code I have to type all code myself. If I had know it I wouldn't buy this book. I thought this is commone scense for reader to expect the code is either come with an attached CD or can be downloaded.

Summary: Confusing and not helpful
Review: This is a very confusing book. A lot of concepts are explained extremely poorly and I got totally lost after a short while. Get another book from Amazon instead.

Summary: Good book, but...
Review: This was a good book. It is a great guide to SQL 7, and can be used as a good primer on interacting with it. The book explains how to use the wizards to accomplish tasks (important for beginners), as well as how do the same thing with straight SQL language from the Query Analyzer (valuable as a learning tool and a reference). Nevertheless, by the nature of the title, you would expect a lot of COM-related development content. If you count ADO (which I don't in this instance), then the title is justified. There are only a couple of chapters on developing COM objects that interact with SQL 7 near the end. It seems like the word COM was tossed in purely for marketing purposes. So final word on "Building Microsoft SQL Server 7 Applications with COM" is that it is great on SQL 7, but weak on COM.
