distributed databases

This is an awesome book for a programmer who wants to learn ADO. The most I like about this book is that it shows you exactly what you need to know. I have other ADO books in my collection but Mr. Roff's explanation of ADO's functionality plus his insight and suggestions on how to code with ADO make this book my number one ADO resource. This book has a complete listing of every ADO object, method, property and event. This is the kind of reference you need the most when developing a new ADO application. Aug-7th-2001

This book is most appropriate for programmers working on the Data Access and Manipulation systems. The examples and code contained in this book will give you all sorts of new coding ideas. Besides showing ADO at work, this book also functions as a complete ADO reference. The idea is that you'll be able to find the information you need, in depth and ready to use. This book is the best I've seen so far on the subject. I've recommended it to my friends and coworkers. It's the only ADO book I now keep on my desk. Before you buy any other ADO book, I recommend you to take a look at this book first.

this is a very good book, comparing to MSDN ADO note on the web, which covers only access to .mdb database, this book covers a variety of methods and databases. Thank for the great contribution.
