In the successor to his excellent book, "WindowsMulti-DBMSProgramming", Ken North Introduces us to time-honored concepts ofwriting database applications in a fearless manner. Ken North, a seasoned veteran, has the guts to tackle all of these technologies in a single book: Data Modeling Tools, Database Server Features, Multi-tier c/s database applications using Java, and database app particulars for these databases: Sybase, Informix, DB2, MS SQL Server. He also brings clarity to the use of popular database APIs: ODBC and JDBC. Finally, he covers Interoperable SQL and the Component Access with OLE DB. If Ken's book could be faulted, it is because he didn't cover a great deal of specifics on Oracle or on ADO and ASP. And yet, he covers enough timeless aspects of building database applications in a client/server environment that no serious database application developer (at any level) should be without this book. It should noted that Ken North is ever active and moving ahead with technology almost as quickly as technology itself is improving. To this very day, he participates in and chairs technology panels at major computer industry conferences on such timely and important topics as JDBC and XML. In addition, he writes a monthly column in Web Techniques Magazine. In other words, Ken's contributions back to his chosen discipline are manifold and excellent as well. You might as well know that if Ken North said it, it is something that you can rely upon.
