This book explains, demonstrates, and applies techniques that lie at the intersection of the two great tools of the Information Age. One tool, the database, is relatively old. The other, the Internet, is quite new. With these two tools together, readers can create powerful Web pages. In this book, readers will learn how to incorporate databases into their ASP applications using ADO, which provides a set of objects through which one can connect to, read from, and write to databases. From installing the necessary software and a basic guide to SQL, to handling stored procedures, readers will get several real-world questions answered with code ready to cut and paste and a chance to practice at every step of the way.
