Product Description
From Amazon
Web database access is a huge subject, since it combines traditional database technology with the newer challenge of designing Web applications. Professional ASP Data Access is for those using Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) to power dynamic sites. It is aimed at developers who are already familiar with both ASP and database technology. There is specific coverage for Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle 8, IBM's DB2, and the popular open source database MySQL.
The opening chapters cover database fundamentals, including design issues, the SQL language and when to use stored procedures and triggers. Next there is an overview of the important Windows database APIs, ODBC, OLE DB and ActiveX Data Objects. The following section tackles architecture, introducing multi-tier applications using COM and Microsoft Transaction Server and explaining how to build data access components with Visual Basic or C++. A further section covers non-relational data, particularly Microsoft and Novell directory services and Microsoft Exchange. There are four chapters on using XML for both data transfer and presentation, followed by an advanced section covering e-commerce, multi-dimensional data, data mining and performance and security issues.
Overall this is an excellent hands-on resource for those working seriously with ASP and Microsoft's distributed application architecture. The essentials are covered in detail, while the chapters on more specialist subjects are valuable introductions in areas that are all too often neglected. --Tim Anderson
Book Description
With the advent of Universal Data Access from Microsoft, we see data being stored in a variety of places - mail systems, directory services, Internet services and so on. To build great Web applications you need to drive your site with data, in whatever form it takes. This means data access and manipulation on the server to bring dynamic content to the end user. A well-constructed site will not only access data, but also manage it efficiently. This is imperative to ensure users perceive the site well and that it scales to cope with increased numbers of users.
Active Server Pages, together with ADO and OLEDB, can bring about this access to a myriad of data stores. Existing data access technologies have concentrated on relational databases, but ADO now brings the benefits of semi-structured data. So not only can you provide fast access to existing stores of data, but you can also access data in a less structured form, such as mail messages, web pages, XML and so on.

Wrox keeps getting worse.,
By
This review is from: Professional ASP Data Access (Paperback)
I was hoping this would be the sequel to the awesome beginners asp database book by John Kauffman. It was not even close. This book trys to cover so many platforms that it ends up not covering anything very well. The examples are terrible and confusion will set in after the second chapter. I have found that with Wrox books, if there is more than one person on the cover, then it will stink up the place.

ASP Data,
By Mr David W Schultz (Sterling Heights, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Professional ASP Data Access (Paperback)
As a reviewer for this book I have read the book from cover to cover. The strong point about this book is that it covers many different aspects of data access. If you are somewhat new to ASP this book will show the ropes on ADO, XML and how to mix data from many different sources. If you are an experienced developer this book covers many areas that will interest you - data warehousing, the use of several different DB other than the very familiar SQL Server and non-realtional data sources. I have taken my copy of this book to work and everyone wants to borrow it.

Not bad for a Database programmer,
This review is from: Professional ASP Data Access (Paperback)
My favorites were Section 5,7 and 8. The case studies were okay. Good cover on MTS and Novell Directory Services with ASP.
