3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but sloppy, August 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hands On SQL Server 7 with VB6 (Paperback)

This is basically a good book and worth having, but there are numerous typos and outright errors which mar the presentation, e.g. confusion between "Delete" and "Drop". The examples are pragmatic and useful, but DON'T try to learn SQL Server 7 from this book--you won't.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gain practical experience quickly, January 8, 2000

Craig Honeysett - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hands On SQL Server 7 with VB6 (Paperback)

My first experience with the PRIMA TECH Hands On series of books. The author progressively takes you through setting up and developing several SQL databases including installation and maintenance. From there you go on to develop the VB6 interfaces and eventually a fairly complex Web application. Not your usual quick start book that leaves you wanting when it comes to practical details. The book starts out fairly detailed and thorough, but in the later stages several steps and details are assumed even though the material was not covered earlier. At this point you must refer back to the provided samples to figure out what the author did. Another PLUS the book comes with a trial version of SQL server 7 for Server OR Win95/98 workstation! Overall a must have for anyone who needs to get up to speed on these products.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good way to learn, but book has tons of mistakes, May 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hands On SQL Server 7 with VB6 (Paperback)

Hands on is the best way to learn, and the project this book steps you through is quite useful. However, the book is littered with errors and mistakes. Screenshots are mislabeled and there are differences between the code samples given in the book and those provided on the CD. Very frustrating. Didn't they bother to edit this book before they published it?
