Synopsis
This guidebook is intended for programmers who are developing or maintaining a database on the Web and want to avoid all the pitfalls. It shows when to use embedded SQL versus ODBC, the pros and cons of popular languages, and why tool sets aren't always the smartest method. Two major examples in the book serve as "skeletons" for a commercial database. It also includes a discussion of security issues, with tips on how to structure your database for optimum protection. This book is intended for programmers who want to move proprietary LAN-based or dial-up database applications onto an Intranet or the World Wide Web.
