I work with VB .NET and C# and I found myself in need of a good DB book. I went through a number of books at the local bookstore, but never came across this one. I saw the reviews and decided to buy it. I don´t regret it as it is possibly the best ADO.NET reference book. I enjoyed reading the Exchange Server chapter although this has nothing o do with my primary work.

It's incredible that you can find a book with so detialed coverage of so many subjects; ADO.NET, Exchange Server, MSMQ, SQLXML... This is one book I can use as a reference book, but I also thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

I wasn't all that sure about this book before I bought it. Well, a friend of mine from the IT business suggested it to me and I think she did me a favor. This really is a good book and I enjoyed reading it from cover to cover. Sure there were a few pages I skipped, because I already knew it, but otherwise I really learned a lot and I now use it as a reference book on ADO.NET and msmq which I use regularly. I can highly recommend this book and in particular chapter six which is awesome.

I feel this is one of the best database books I have read over the years, especially for new technology, and I really enjoy the detailed coverage and yet so many topics are covered. I like chapters 3a and 3b, but chapter 6 is by far the best with its Oracle and SQL server coverage.

Overall this book is of very high quality. I love the way most of the chapters starts at near beginner level and then gradually adds more information to the pile. That's how a book should be written, and in a competent manner. I could do with more examples and pictures, but that doesn't detract enough from my 5 star rating. This is a must have book for any C# developer not yet comfortable with ADO.NET or any other database work for that matter.

A very enjoyable book, because of the authors writing style. These chapters are simply excellent: 5. Exception handling, 6. Server side processing, 7. Hierarchical databases (the Exchange Server bit), 9. Data wrappers, A. Using XML with SQL Server 2000 Chapter 1 isn't worth anything to me, but maybe to .NET beginners; I don't know.

I think the author has an excellent writing style and the book covers what I need, and a lot more. Okay there were a few things i dislike, but overall the book is well worth the money. I really like chapter 6 and 8 and the event coverage.
