Rating: - A great project that wasn't finished
I have spent a lot of time studying this book. The early chapters are the best. The book needs work. It has a lot of valuable information, especially for a programming student who does not have much database experience. Unfortunately, it has a few glaring errors and omissions. The book has graphics that are labeled wrong. It refers to files on the accompanying CD that do not exist. I couldn't find an errata page on the Internet for the book. If the book were taken through a very serious editing ... Read More
Rating: - Text Is Slow, Sparse, Introductory; Save Your Money
If you do not know database, or you need a very slow introduction to both databases and how to use them in Delphi, this may be the book for you. The book touts itself as Advanced on its back cover level rating. I don't know what marketing manager came up with Advanced, but this book is not even Intermediate -- it is Introductory. Do you know relational databse design? Well, the table of contents divides this book into three parts, and Part One is relational database design. If you already know ... Read More
Rating: - I found it useful
This book is probably not for the advanced Delphi programmer as it states, but I found it useful.
I come from an engineering background. Most of my prior programs are number crunching Fortran programs. I've switched to Delphi to do Windows programming. I had no database background.
This book got me started with database theory, and database practice with Delphi. I must admit if I was a Delphi database expert and bought this book I would probably be dissapointed. But it ... Read More
Rating: - This book is great
Contrary to the opinions of most of the other people who have written reviews on this book, I thought it was great. I have been developing applications in C++Builder for about a year or so (and in Delphi for a few years before that), but never had to do anything too complicated with databases. I especially found Part II of the book extremely valueable and easy to understand.
Even though this is a Delphi book it was invaluable to me in completing a C++Builder database application that ... Read More
Rating: - Beginners Only
I got this because it was listed as for Advanced programmers. But it does little more the walk through some very simple examples of the basic database issues of Delphi. If you are a beginner and need some hand holding to get you started on topics you already have a detailed explanation on. Then this book might help. But don't expect to learn much from it by itself. I would get a copy cheap from someone experienced that got suckered in to buying it.
