Summary: Confusing mess
Review: I'm pretty new to DataBase programming, and this book is taking me nowhere. The sample code could only be interpretted by one who already knows OLE DB. Anyone out there know of a good book for DB programming beginers??? I have a good understanding of MFC, COM, ActiveX, etc... I just need something to get going on creating custom OLE DB Providers.

Summary: Horrible, if you have to write a provider, GOOD LUCK!
Review: Please stop emailing me about books on OLE DB, I have NOT found any better books. Though, I have recently taken a decent course taught be DevelopMentor... though, I'm still not 100% clear on writing providers.

Summary: Not very useful and poorly edited; not worth the price
Review: This book is simply a bound version of the VC help on OLEDB 2.0. However, it is so lame that it does not cover any of the new Consumer templates which are included with VC6. If you already have VC6, then I would NOT reccommend this book. The Templates provided with VC6 are very powerful, but VERY poorly documented. However, this book will not remedy the problem. Also, what code examples there are(VERY few), are rarely correct in their syntax. In my mind, that is unacceptable in a book that is supposed to help you in using new, cutting-edge technology. The opnly good thing about the book is that it does cover the data type enums and other various enumerated types. This is nice, since it is difficult to find adequate help on these topics using the online help.Overall, I believe this is NOT the book to get if you want to use OLEDB 2.0!
