This title provides information on how to build fast, efficient, scalable and functional database applications. It includes chapters on object databases and Web databases, and includes code listings on the disk.;Databases are pervasive in the management of information, ranging from a simple file system to industrial-strength systems integrated into applications. The book presents programming techniques and tricks on specific database management systems, ODBC and the CLI, Web database programming with Java, object-to-relational mapping, cache management, benchmarking applications, and building updatable applications with off-the-shelf engines.;Key topics covered include: SQL access group's call-lvel interface; C database programing with ODBC; building Web databases; the Oracle call interface and C++; performance testing, ODBC and native SQL APIs; object persistence with relational databases; a database cache manager from MFC components; accessing binary database fields with MFC; and indexed text retrieval.;The "Programmer's Resource" series is a resource for the most useful programming tools and techniques in specific areas. The books are designed to increase the proficiency and productivity of all software developers providing technniques to harness the maximum potential of development tools. These techniques and methods are gathered from writers from programming journals, including "Dr Dobb's Journal", "Dr Dobb's Sourcebook", "C/C++ Users Journal", "Web Techniques" and "Web Developer's "Journal".
