5.0 out of 5 stars Access 2000 Unleashed fills a void., September 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Access 2000 Development Unleashed (Paperback)

This comprehensive treatment of Access 2000 is indispensable for any serious Access developer as a tutorial and solution reference. I was impressed with how well it balanced Access 2000's awesome new features as well as fundamentals to professional Access database programming techniques. In addition, it covers areas of interest like XML, Oracle and project management that I have not seen elsewhere.

The CD alone is worth the price of the book. I was pleasantly surprised to see a luxurious easy-to-use interface when I inserted the CD.

The authors provide numerous code examples and real world solutions which progress step by step and don't leave any gaps which leave you scratching your head. No simplistic "Hello World" nonsense here! but only disciplined, well-structured and commented examples that come from real world experience. The techniques described demonstrate how to optimize both performance and maintainability and leave you confident that you can tackle virtually any Access challenge that may arise.

This is a must read for Access developers and DBA's in general. The chapters on Oracle and SQL Server 7.0 are very good. If you want to really know how to work with what is really one of the best, if not the best, database programs around, get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Oracle!, September 6, 1999

This review is from: Microsoft Access 2000 Development Unleashed (Paperback)

This book was the only one I could find at the time I ordered it that had any information on using Access with Oracle. This book is the one for a quick reference to advanced topics. Not to light on the subject, but not verbose and boring either.
