Programming ADO (Dv-Mps Programming)

Programming ADO (Dv-Mps Programming)
Manufacturer: Microsoft Press
Product Type: Book

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Written for the intermediate to advanced Windows programmer, David Sceppa's Programming ADO offers an expert's view of developing with this powerful--and occasionally tricky--database library. Filled with tips and suggested best practices for building robust database programs, this title provides a useful real-world perspective to effective coding with ADO.

This book is part reference, offering full coverage of all objects in ADO, and part programming tutorial, describing every object, property, collection, method, and event in this library, including ADOX and JRO in an appendix. Instead of whole programs, the author uses short code excerpts written in Visual Basic to illustrate key points. Complete sample applications are available on the accompanying CD-ROM.

Throughout this text, Sceppa shows off his expert knowledge of ADO. Standout sections here include examples of connecting to databases effectively, different strategies for querying and updating databases, and a nice explanation of disconnected recordsets. The discussion of the various cursor types available in ADO is also a must-read for any serious ADO developer. (Choosing the right cursor type for your project, it turns out, is not as easy as it appears.) Each section ends with "Questions That Should Be Asked More Frequently" in which the author invites you to think carefully about the ways you use ADO.

Later sections here turn to the powerful ADO Cursor Engine and the newer Record and Stream classes, which allow programmers to "persist" recordsets to files (and even XML). There are plenty of tips for handling record conflicts within real-world, multi-user databases. Once again, although ADO looks easy, there is plenty to worry about when multiple users access records frequently. This book shows you how to write more robust database applications.

Filled with time-saving programming expertise, Programming ADO fills a valuable niche for any developer who wants to start working with ADO effectively. --Richard Dragan

Topics covered: ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) overview and tutorial; Data Access Objects (DAO) vs. ADO; the ADO object model and version 2.5 enhancements; Connection properties, collections, methods, and events; connection strings; connecting to OLE DB providers; Recordset properties, collections, methods, and events; Command and Parameter properties, collections, and methods; using ADO Record and Stream objects; ADO cursor types and performance hints; strategies for updating databases; programming with the ADO Cursor Engine (programming tips, concurrency issues); handling database conflicts; persisting recordsets; hierarchical recordsets and data shaping; introduction to COM; passing ADO recordsets between processes; the Remote Data Service (RDS); ADO Extensions (ADOX) for manipulating database structures; and the Jet Replication Object (JRO).
Book Description
For every developer who's uttered "I wish I knew that before I started writing all this code!" PROGRAMMING ADO demonstrates how to save time, write less code, and build more-powerful data-driven solutions using Microsoft(r) ActiveX(r) Data Objects (ADO). In the book's first section, the author expertly guides readers through the ADO object model-sharing his expertise as a Microsoft Developer Support professional on the properties, events, and methods that can present the greatest challenges to the ADO developer. The remainder of the book is devoted to helping developers comprehend how ADO objects behave and building their proficiency with ADO programming techniques. Topics include connecting to databases; using the Recordset, Command, and Record and Search objects to retrieve and manipulate data; updating databases; and creating remote data services. Readers can study the features of the ADO cursor engine in detail, so to learn how cursors work, what their limitations are, how to shorten development time, and how to avoid coding themselves into a corner.

WebObjects is fine, but you don't have to buy the development kit anymore.......2007-05-06

I understand from reading the wikipedia article on WebObjects that starting in 2005, the WebObjects development kit started being free as a part of Apple's XCode (which is free).

Since 2006, development for WebObjects is supported, using Eclipse (which is free).

I also understand that Apple deprecated the use of Cocoa and WebObjects, used together -- but you can still use pure Java for WebObject development. This is OK since Cocoa is proprietary to Apple and the Mac and Java is available for many platforms -- not just on the Mac.

As far as I understand, you don't have to spend any money to develop for WebObjects (so you don't need the product that this review is about) but I believe that to deploy web-apps developed in WebObjects that you have to have to buy the Server Version of Mac OS X (retail $499.00 to $999.00).

Mac OS X Server v10.4.7 10-Client

Mac OS X Server v10.4.7 Unlimited Client

or instead of buying Mac OS X Server, you can buy an XServe computer (which includes the Server Version of Mac OS X Server software).

WebObjects is for Enterprise software which means that it is well-suited for larger projects (i.e. for websites that get a lot of traffice).

An alternative to purchasing Apple's Server Version of the Mac OS is to have your website hosted by a web-hosting company. Be aware that enterprise solutions such as WebObjects which use server-side Java are more expensive to have hosted than technologies that are only suitable for smaller-scale operations.

Secret Goodness!.......2004-06-12

WebObjects is a framework for deploying database-driven webpages and services. While it does not have the same exposure as ColdFusion, ASP, PHP, etc etc, it is a very strong competitor. I came to it from a PHP and MySQL background, and while it took a couple of weeks to get to grips with the WebObjects outlook, it is now a total joy to work with.

The main thing about WebObjects that seperates it from the rest is the fact that it is an object-oriented system. Once you have the objects set up, you very rarely have to interact with the database at all, as the framework deals with all of the sql calls. Indeed, because of this fact, the database itself is totally removed from the logic, and so a vast range of databases can be used interchangeably: MySQL, OpenBase, Oracle, and any JDBC database. And relational databases are even easier, suprisingly enough, especially when compared to how difficult relationships are to follow with PHP.

Everyone working with any high-traffic databse-driven website should at the least check this out. I did, and now I'm a total convert. There is a free 30-day trial available at the apple website.

What Apple Doesn't Tell You........2003-07-12

One of WebObjects best kept secrets is the EOModeler. The EOModeler allows you to design a database, create entity relationships [including foreign keys], encapsulate business logic in WO rules and stored procedures, and then generate/update your database from the model. All of this is done from within an Apple quality GUI, and it explicity supports OpenBase, Oracle, MSSQL Server, MySQL and Sybase [but it should work with any JDBC driver or JNDI driver].

Furthermore, you can then automatically generate an entire Java client application from this model. AND, you can reverse engineer a model and application from an existing database.

Outside of that, the Apple review tells you what you need to know [aside from the fact that the WebObjects server supports load balancing and remote application server access]. This is a fantastic product. Believe the hype!

Upgrade Inequity.......2005-10-24

Disappointed to find out that you cannot upgrade Visio 2003 standard edition with this product. You have to have an "older"
version of Visio 2000 or 2002. Why Microsoft doesn't allow this
upgrade is makes no sense but at $200 for the standard version and $250 for the professional uograde and now another $429 for the full professional version, I guess it does make cents after

Microsoft Visio Professional 2003 Upgrade.......2005-08-03

I found this upgrade to install easily and well perform as expected. Help function is good but lack of hard copy manual or availabilty of one is a disappointment.

Beware!!! Not an upgrade for Visio 2003 Standard.......2004-02-05

I just purchased this thinking that "of course I can upgrade to Visio 2003 Pro from Visio 2003 Standard". Nope. This is just plain silly. I still am trying to figure out if I can even upgrade my Visio *2003* Standard version to Professional.

A Valuable Upgrade.......2004-02-04

I have been using the Visio diagramming software since the 2000 version. In my mind this upgrade is the best I have purchased.

The interface with the rest of the Office XP 2003 Suite is vastly improved. I can now take a diagram created in Visio and drop it into Word documents, PowerPoint Presentations and e-mails without having to reformat it. In the past the transfer was never clean.

Once the diagram is embedded, I can emphasize and clarify key points, gather input from team members and even share documents using SharePoint services. This is a huge timesaver for me.

If you embed your diagrams in other documents, you will love this upgrade.

Powerful, Versatile, Sophisticated Business Diagramming.......2003-11-26

Visio has always been an excellent solution for technical diagramming. Version 2003 is no exception and improves upon its predecessor with support for the web and integration with other Office applications. The program still lacks certain elements of Microsoft Office which I feel concerned about. Users are able to import Native Auto CAD drawings directly into Visio, and use the Visio tools to further customize and edit drawings to their hearts content. You can create custom stencils save them and share with other Visio users over a corporate network. You can export diagrams as a webpage so that users who don't have Visio installed locally on their machine can View diagrams through web browser at different resolutions with ease. The program enables IT Adminstrators to create Diagrams for Active Directory role outs for Windows 2000 Server and Server 2003. SQL Server or other third party database products such as Oracle and IBM DB2 can use the Visio functionality to outline a companies storage of data through active digrams that automate how data is stored and used. You can create simple project management task, and also export other Visio digrams to PowerPoint and further edit within PowerPoint or Word.Other features include searching for stencils online in the program, which makes it easy for you to find that particular diagram. Visio still lacks certain elements such as native support for WordArt. Overall, this upgrade is a must have for existing Visio 2000 or 5.0 users, but some 2002 users might not see any need for some of the functionality and might wait first to see if their diagramming and network infrastructure needs demand the new functionality and technology that Visio 2003 has to offer.

A disappointed J# fan.......2005-04-21

When J# came out 2 years ago, I thought it would be a hit. But, how can you expect that to happen when Microsoft is pushing C# and VB and completely ignoring J#. I mean you go to conferences and people say, "yeah, J# is useful but don't take it seriously." Then, you search for a good book on J# and there are only 3 books ever written for J#. Besides, a lot of C# and VB features are not available with J#. All in all, too expensive for a product that you won't be using. Just stick with Java if you are really that desparate. J# is not platform independent and not as powerful as Sun's Java.
