1) Paperback Book ODBC 3.5 Developer's Guide by McGraw-Hill Companies. I am a person of learning by example. I don´t use all functions of ODBC, but I use whatever I need for my project. For every function I need, there is an example in this book for me to understand. Actually, I learn ODBC from this book¤

2) Paperback Book ODBC 3.5 Developer's Guide by McGraw-Hill Companies. This is a very good reference book for day-to-day
ODBC programming. It´s easy to look up functions for
a particular task and every function has an accompanying
example. As noted earlier it may not completely follow
some of standard but for most of my purpose it´s good enough.

My main complaint is that a reference book of
this volume should really be published as a set of HTML
pages with a search engine. (No eBook, please!)¤

3) Paperback Book ODBC 3.5 Developer's Guide by McGraw-Hill Companies. The text does not follow any tutorial standard or style. It is a series of essays followed by detailed examples and verbose documentation. Some thought should have gone into the presentation.¤

4) Paperback Book ODBC 3.5 Developer's Guide by McGraw-Hill Companies. Although the author notes this book doesn´t contain any Unicode issue, there are many incorrect descriptions regarding the text data type and missing information about ODBC 3.5 new features. For example, column size of data may represent the length of data in characters in case the data is text, while this book describe explicitly "in bytes". The meanings are totally different especially when you handle non-Latin text data. I should recommend the serious user/developer to get Microsoft official documents and I should say this book is not based on ODBC 3.5, rather, ODBC 3.0.¤

5) Paperback Book ODBC 3.5 Developer's Guide by McGraw-Hill Companies. I bought the book based on the Amazon description of it being "complete" and "designed to provide you with everything you need" and was disappointed to find that it does not contain the ODBC SQL grammar. So it is NOT complete. I could not even find any references in it to how to find the SQL Grammar. Without knowing the ODBC SQL grammar it would be hard to write an interoperable application (the point of ODBC after all) with only this book.

The book, however, is excellent (5 stars), especially with the ODBC specification development history, but incomplete, and the Amazon blurbs(1 star) misleading.¤

6) Paperback Book ODBC 3.5 Developer's Guide by McGraw-Hill Companies. Introducing the complete, hands-on guide to mastering ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) 3.5, the new standard for database applications in the Windows environment. Concise yet thorough, it covers all the major database systems from Oracle, Sybase, IBM, and Informix. Readers will develop a clear understanding of the ODBC command structure and syntax through practical examples, applications, and a wealth of programming techniques.¤
