Publisher's Note
Now you can learn how to tap the power of open systems quickly and easily! This practical book/disk package gives you everything you need to write consistent applications that communicate readily with any ODBC data source in a client/server environment. In a hands-on tutorial format with extensive examples, this easy-to-use guide shows you exactly how to use all ODBC features to maximize connected database functionality. This is the first book to cover ODBC in such depth - you'll find all the tools and techniques you need to achieve true open connectivity across a wide array of platforms and products. You'll learn how to reach different data sources, how to maximize the functionality of every connected database, and all the proven techniques you need to become a proficient ODBC programmer. The accompanying disk contains all of the source code in C, which makes ODBC applications easy to create. With the tutorial and the disk, you can create a full-featured database application for Windows, UNIX, Macintosh, or OS/2 that can reach any ODBC data source.

This book introduces systems programmers to the tools and techniques needed to write consistent Windows gateway applications that communicate easily with any ODBC data source in a client/server environment. Microsoft, Lotus, Borland, Apple, IBM, Oracle, and Sybase all include support for the ODBC industry standard for multiple database access in their products. A company may easily have DB2 or Sybase running on a mainframe, Netware SQL running on Novell file server, and Paradox running on a workstation--but now IS professionals will have the information and guidance they need to achieve true open connectivity across all of these platforms and products.
