Summary

Summary

Avoiding overly large blocks of code used in most other database programming books, this book shows a simple and easy way to create database programs and explains how to build professional and practical databases more efficiently. In addition to Design Tools and Wizards, the runtime object method is also discussed and analyzed to let users design and implement more sophisticated data-driven applications with complicated coding techniques. Three popular database systems - Microsoft Access, SQL Server 2005, and Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (XE) - are discussed in detail, with practical examples and sample projects. This book will appeal to college students, programmers, and software engineers alike. Sample code and additional exercise questions for students, as well as solutions and lecture slides for instructors, are available via the Web (www.cambridge.org/9780521712354).

Choice Review

This eight-chapter work begins with a general introduction to databases and proceeds to discuss ADO.NET 2.0 and Visual Basic.NET programming for Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and Oracle 10g Express Edition databases. The first half of the book introduces readers to basic concepts that are applied to database creation and manipulation in later chapters. Using well-written, clear explanations, Bai (Johnson C. Smith Univ.) covers various topics including data selection queries, data insertion, updating and deleting data, and accessing data through ASP.NET. Also discussed are ASP.NET Web Services. Bai incorporates everything needed to learn how to build and maintain professional databases, both online and off, in the Visual Basic.NET program. Though designed for Visual Basic.NET 2005, this book also works well for Visual Basic.NET 2008. Numerous screen images help readers understand the content covered in the text. Each chapter is keyed into sections, making it easy for instructors to point students to the correct area of the text for answers to questions. Sample databases and database projects are available online for all three databases covered in the last half of the book. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduate through professional audiences; two-year technical program students. L. S. Pogue Northwest Arkansas Community College
