5.0 out of 5 stars great book!, September 14, 1998

This review is from: Database Developer's Guide With Borland C++5 (Sams Developers Guide) (Paperback)

this book surprisingly combines good introduction to databases in general and to Borland's DBMS. Very good for all experienced programmers who want to use databases in their own programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars You do want the reader understand the book, October 2, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Database Developer's Guide With Borland C++5 (Sams Developers Guide) (Paperback)

There are few authors write about Database Development. So it's too hard to find the book like this. I needed and bought the book but got a little useful.The reader's feeling, for sure,is not good. So the author must know their feeling. It's you. :)
