From the Author:

The book teaches C++ programmers about database programming.
The book begins by exploring the various database technologies that are available to C++ Windows developers, including Structured Storage, record managers, ISAM databases, relational databases, and object databases. The early chapters explain database concepts in a manner that will resonate with C++ programmers. The book then explores relational database development using VC++ 6.

The book covers VC++ programming for ADO, RDS, OLE DB, ODBC, MTS, COM, as well as DAO and the MFC ODBC classes. The book teaches how to choose the best database model/technology for your application, how to do database design, ways to leverage a database server, how to create C++ component software for database apps, and tools and strategies for multi-tier application development. The book contains detailed source code examples, as well as practical advice for building real-life database applications.

By the way, "Lyn Robison" is the true author of this book. "Lyn Robinson" is an evil imposter who tries to take credit for all of my work. :-)
