More About This Book

Overview

language into the world of database development--one of the most attractive and lucrative areas for professional programmers. Written by client/server expert Karen Watterson, Visual Basic Database Programming shows you how to write database applications quickly and efficiently.

The first part of the book is a database survival guide. It covers relational database design and SQL fundamentals, including SQL-92 and advanced SQL topics. After addressing the basic client/server development issues you should understand before starting a big database project, Visual Basic Database Programming guides you through database development using the Access engine, other PC databases, and SQL databases. Finally, you'll learn about OLE 2.0 and the Visual Basic SQL Server Programmer Toolkit. In addition, a unique comparison of Microsoft's four versions of Basic--Visual Basic, Access Basic, VBA, and WordBasic--supplies an invaluable reference for planning application portability.

Visual Basic Database Programming provides complete coverage of the new features of Visual Basic 3.0 Professional Edition, including:

  • Data-aware controls
  • ODBC
  • SQL
  • OLE 2.0
  • Crystal Report Writer.
The accompanying disk is packed with sample applications, including Microsoft's newest set-up/distribution routines and a new Security Wizard for Access databases.

Database expert Karen Watterson shows how to harness the power of Visual Basic to develop database front ends, by far the most common chore for database programmers. A value-added disk provides a report writer, an open database API for writing add-ons, and a ready-to-run OLE 2.0 library.
