Features: Every program involves data processing, and most real-world programs use data stored in relational databases, so every programmer needs to understand how to access relational data. This book primarily discusses how to use C# and ADO.NET to access relational data. It first introduces what needs to be installed, then discusses ADO.NET 1.1, SQL, and relational databases. After that, it covers more advanced topics. Finally, it briefly introduces ADO.NET 2.0. After reading this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the main topics in C# database programming.
Target Audience: This book is written for those interested in using C# to access relational data, and it is suitable for programmers, managers, and students/teachers in educational institutions. It requires only a basic understanding of C# and does not assume prior experience with relational databases or the relational database language SQL. The book is easy to understand, with clear concepts and simple program examples to illustrate the ideas. Readers can use these examples as a foundation for writing their own code. The book primarily introduces the fundamentals of relational databases and ADO.NET, which are essential for every C# programmer to understand.
