C++ Database Development

Rating:
Summary: Poor book
Review: For a non-textbook, this book is beautifully informative. I am a newcomer to the world of databases, and I found this book to be very explainative of the concepts of an object database and of the techniques used to implement one in C++. The author's prose style is professional, yet smooth, and his code is well written and well commented.

Note that almost half of the pages of this book are source code for the PARODY system.

Review: Many advanced C++ concepts get clearified, and lots of practical coding issues get touched. I really like the simple and straight forward manner of the book. This book is a great help to turn youself from a student to a programmer.

Summary: Poor book
Review: Those expecting to find a good introduction to databases better look for another book. Al Stevens knows a lot about C++, but not about databases, especially relational databases. The explanation of the relational model is simply wrong. PARODY should be called PATODY, the Persistent Almost Tabular Data Storage System
