Sams Teach Yourself Database Programming With Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days

Sams Teach Yourself Database Programming With Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days teaches readers to take full advantage of database programming using Visual C++ 6. The book focuses on teaching readers how to add "universal data access" to their applications.

Coverage will include teaching the basics of data access using the Data Environment Designer, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), and the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC 2.0), as well as using standards such as Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). Later chapters will teach the reader to tap into the more technical areas of database programming, including the use of OLE DB, the Microsoft Transaction Server, and the Microsoft Data Access SDK.

After readers complete this book, they should be able to create Visual C++ applications that can tap into data residing in databases such as Access, SQL Server, and Oracle as well as tap into data residing in applications such as Excel, Word, and the Windows directory structure.
