About this title

Synopsis

Microsoft insider William R. Vaughn shows developers how to use Visual Basic 5.0 to access data via SQL Server. This fifth edition also reveals the possibilities within the latest Visual Basic 5.0 technology--including its new ability to support a fully event-driven model. The CD contains a new sample database based on the Jet BIBLIO database, plus sample code and white papers.

Review

So you have valuable data stashed away in a Microsoft SQL Server database and you want a rapidly deployable way of getting to it? Visual Basic 5.0 and William Vaughn's book may have all the answers you need. Unlike many programming books that jump right into dense code listings, Vaughn takes a much-needed initial look at database-design issues, hardware requirements, the various types of cursors and queries, and how to plan your implementation strategy. On the other hand, this is no beginner's title: Vaughn assumes a strong familiarity with databases and with Visual Basic, and the book's value is not as a tutorial but rather as a detailed reference to techniques for accessing SQL Server databases from Visual Basic.
