Features: Database development is a complex task. Even if developers are proficient in a wealth of programming knowledge, they may still struggle to get started or develop database products that meet enterprise expectations when writing a database management system. Based on years of programming experience in developing database systems for breeding-type enterprises and institutions, the authors of this book have extracted the key technologies and techniques that must be mastered when using VB to develop database management systems. Through detailed explanations and case studies, the book helps readers quickly grasp the essential skills of VB database development, enabling them to create database systems suitable for enterprise applications.
The book begins with the common problems encountered by Visual Basic users and combines practical examples to guide readers in mastering the key technologies, methods, and techniques for developing database management systems using Visual Basic, thereby creating database systems tailored for enterprise use.
The book is divided into 12 chapters, covering topics such as:
- Designing and implementing databases using code
- Accessing databases with ADO
- Database processing techniques
- The application of controls in database development
- SQL data query techniques
- Typical form development and design
- Designing reports and printing programs
