Roger Jennings' Database Developer's Guide with Visual Basic 6, Third Edition, provides in-depth coverage of all new database-related features of Visual Basic 6.0. Topics includes OLE DB 1.0, Active Data Objects (ADO) 2.0, Remote Data Services (RDS) 2.0, and DataEnvironment and DataReport objects. Client/server chapters describe how to create high-performance decision-support and OLTP applications with SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0. Advanced topics include executing parameterized stored procedures with ADO Command objects, designing and deploying Microsoft Transaction Server 2.0 components, and writing Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) to extract summarized data from PivotTable and SQL Server OLAP Services (formerly Plato) DataCubes with ADOMD, ADO 2.0's implementation of MDX.
Database access is a leading strategic use of Web technology. This "Database Developer's Guide" teaches the reader how to design, develop, and deploy secure client/server databases that are accessible by clients on Internet and Intranet Web sites using the latest version of Visual Basic and other new key technologies, such as ActiveX and Server Side Scripting. The accompanying CD includes the author's source code and resources such as WebSite, third party ActiveX Control samples, DBGateway, and others.
While previous versions of Visual Basic had some database facilities, with Visual Basic 6, Microsoft has created a robust, fully-fledged database programming language. VB6 includes a raft of highly effective database features and toolsincluding hundreds of efficiencies, step-through wizards, and shortcutsthat in most cases are extremely easy to understand and master. Among the most important of these are ADO Data Control, Data View window, Query Designer, DataRepeater Control, Data Environment Designer, ActiveX Document Migration Wizard, WebClass Designer, and Visual Data Manager. Visual Basic 6 Database Programming For Dummies is a friendly, no-nonsense guide for programmers already familiar with Visual Basic who want to take advantage of all of version 6s powerful database features. Packed with real-world examples and plain-English explanations, it cuts through the jargon and shows you, step-by-step, how to: Build professional-looking database programs Craft user-friendly interfaces and robust reports Automate programming with built-in tools Maximize Internet connectivity with ActiveX Develop ASP and IIS applications Transitions from DAO to ADO Understand how best to use all of VBs built-in database features Get the most out of VBs Data Environment Designer Know ho to use SQL Author Richard Mansfield gives you a solid understanding of what databases are, how they work, and what you can do with them. Then he walks you through all the steps to creating powerful database applications. Topics covered include: Getting connected with data controls and the Data Form Wizard Using the Data Environment Designer Designing a user interface Building a new database from scratch Translating Windows applications to Web pages using ActiveX Document Migration Wizard Combining HTML and VB to create active server pages Creating IIS applications Data access programming Using the Query Designer Have you been baffled by the alphabet soup of VB6 acronyms? Have you tried other books on the subject and found them sourly lacking in clarity? Dont despair, relax and let Visual Basic 6 Database Programming For Dummies gently ease you into the world of database programming.
Broad coverage is given of many issues relating to professional database design and implementation using Visual Basic 6. The authors show how to use SQL to manipulate data and investigate advanced topics such as data warehousing and data mining.
Visual Basic is the world's dominant programming language, with more than 4 million users. Microsoft now pushes VB as a serious enterprise application development tool, and the latest version allows programmers to develop complex Web and database applications. The Visual Basic Developer's Guide series targets intermediate to advanced VB developers who want to learn how to make use of Microsoft's latest technologies, including ADO and COM. The authors are recognized VB experts, speak regularly at industry events, and contribute to some of the leading programming journals.
Designed for experienced Visual Basic programmers needing to master the details of building applications that access relational and other data stores. This guide is organized as a reference with entries that include tutorials, step-by-step instructions, code samples and other elements designed to speed mastery of the subject matter.
Building upon the Basic language that has introduced so many to programming in general, Visual Basic has succeeded in providing an easy visual approach to the once formidable challenge of Windows programming. The no-nonsense approach gives readers what they need to begin programming immediately. The CD-ROM contains all source code from the book.
