Access 97 Expert Solutions

In order to get the most value from your computer technology, and to prevent its misuse, you should create reusable systems and published standards. Everyone knows this fact, but few apply it. In the Access environment, some developers think a systematic approach to development is to use the form wizards so all their forms look similar. They neglect to take the next step, however, to ensure that their forms include help or status bar text for users, validation rules to protect the data, and event procedures to trap errors and changes in status. The difference between the two steps is the difference between using Access well and using Access wisely. I wrote this book to help you use Access wisely.

Teach Yourself SQL in 21 Days, Second Edition

The history of SQL begins in an IBM laboratory in San Jose, California, where SQL was developed in the late 1970s. The initials stand for Structured Query Language, and the language itself is often referred to as 'sequel.' It was originally developed for IBM's DB2 product (a relational database management system, or RDBMS, that can still be bought today for various platforms and environments). In fact, SQL makes an RDBMS possible. SQL is a nonprocedural language, in contrast to the procedural or third-generation languages (3GLs) such as COBOL and C that had been created up to that time.
