Every IS professional, whether in a small business or large corporation, will find this book a must-have for their database needs.
Database-driven websites are the future of the Internet, making Web sites more than just advertisements and information; on-line databases make the Web useful as a means of conducting business. Feiler compiles an overview of this fast-growing phenomenon that teaches you to rapidly build Web sites for organizations large and small. In this book, database experts will find a detailed introduction to Web technologies and the deployment of databases on the Web, while Webmasters will benefit from a thorough explanation of databases and their technology.
Using real-life examples-from New York's Museum of Modern Art's "Dadabase" to Italy's Nautica Di Cesare, where you can browse a database of maritime equipment for sale-Feiler teaches you how to build similar sites for yourself. You will also find:
"...explains how to create databases that keep organized records of inventory, range of services, customer files, and other kinds of information crucial to the success of a business...explains how to build virtual stores."

I bought the book and found it to be too general and not specific. The book did not help in terms of useful specific knowledge.
