Summary: Good coverage
Review: This isn't the best book I've ever read, but it certainly covers a fair bit of the topics I work with. I do agree with other reviewers that the many tables are in the way in the chapters and should be moved elsewhere. I think the book needs to cover event handling for the many different classes in ADO.NET, but otherwise I think the book is quite good. I'll look forward to the second edition, which seems to be on the way.

Summary: Best book on .NET database programming
Review: This was the book I was looking for, which covers all I need to know on dataaccess using .Net, with great examples.The chapter on message queuing is excellent - the best I have read on the subject so far. Thumbs up!

Summary: Complete and accurate
Review: Very accurate database teachings and a very complete coverage of most if not all database related topics from vb.net. If anything is missing it must be the few new additions in VS.NET 2003. The organisation is definately very good as you read the book chapter by chapter and it helped me get on the way with ADO.NET and databases from vb.net. A must as reference material.

Summary: Neat and tidy
Review: Very detailed book and extremely neat and tidy writing. Not so much more to add other than this is a great way of getting to know ADO.net and otehr database technologies and techniques.
