Programming Microsoft Access Version 2002 by Rick Dobson, Ph.D. Who is it for? This book is for developers who want to build custom SQL Server solutions with Access projects. It specifically targets any of two primary database engines -- the Microsoft Database Engine (MSDE) or SQL Server 7. In addition, with proper patches to Access 2000, you can run its scripts against SQL Server 2000. Access projects are a new file type introduced with Access 2000 that facilitates SQL Server data definition tasks, and the integration of SQL Server database objects, such as tables, with Access objects, such as forms. I believe that SQL Server DBAs who want to easily extend the services that their databases deliver to clients can benefit from this book as well. That's because Access has many rapid application development features that will empower administrators to deliver solutions they cannot by any other means. Finally, SQL Server developers who encounter solution requirements that do not demand a three-tier development platform will be able to benefit from the fast development capabilities that Access projects provide for SQL Server databases. |
