Average Customer Rating: 4 (3 reviews)

Rating: 5
Summary: Worth it
Comment: Good for novices and seasoned geeks alike, the author deals with the potentially tricky subject matter in a clear, thorough and authoritative way. Starting from first principles of database design, SQL etc, the focus soon moves on to detailed reviews of a number of the most popular tools and technologies available.

The book also has a companion website which is intended to keep the content up to date - a great idea but regrettably does not deliver on this promise.

All in all a worthwhile book and very valuable first resource for anyone needing direction in adding database functionality to their websites. Well worth the time and money.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great overview for low- and mid-priced web-db tools
Comment: This book does an excellent job of comparing and contrasting a number of inexpensive or moderately priced web database tools. It also provides a great overview of web databases and web-db technology.

The best part is that the author builds the same two projects in every tool covered in the book (Filemaker, ASP, ColdFusion) to provide a good comparison for how the individual tools work.

Rating: 2
Summary: Not worth it
Comment: The title sounds very promising but the text does not deliver.

The first two chapter are just a general introduction.

The actual comparisons are not in depth and the biggest surprise - Oracle gets just one mention!
