Sams Teach Yourself Database Programming with Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days Review by Kang S Gatlin
In general, a good book
This book is one of the few that gives you a C++ approach to ADO for accessing databases.
While I'm semi-comfortable with the Windows internals (thanks to Richter), I came into this book with zero knowledge of COM and the MFC (I'm from the Unix world). Knowing MFC and COM would help immensely, I was still able to get my C++ database up and running within about four hours with this book.
I'd prefer a revised version that tosses out the MFC and instead does I/O with iostreams. If you can filter the MFC stuff out, the basic information seems to be there, and the book paid for itself on it's first day.
