Title: Skecthy and Spotty dbexpress reference
Review: I bought this book soley for the purpose of learning dbexpress - which hooks delphi up with a relational database management system. Delphi dbexpress accocomplishes this by setting up a collection of some six objects, which must have various flags, options, fields and parameters set and which must be correctly linked. Mr. Cantu fails to mention any of these flags, etc., gives only the sketchiest examples of code, and provides us with suplementary 'code' which apparently fails to either compile or to give us the details on the states and linkages of the objects. One more week of flailing and hacking my way through the dbexpress morass, and I should be able to write a much better tutorial/reference than has Mr. Cantu -- for all the respect he has in the field. It is possible that writing one definitive book on delphi, which does so much in so many different arenas, is simply too formidable a task.
