Title: Simplify the simplified
Review: I was "blessed" with having to write several custom apps to interface to Oracle, xBase and SQL Server. I have been LONGING for a unified way to get at diverse data since the early 1990's. OLE-DB Looked good, but it was nearly as complex as ODBC. At first, I thought that ADO didn't expose enough of the underlying technology to be useful, so I avoided it. BOY WAS I WRONG! This book walks through this under-documented topic in an easy-to-comprehend fashion that will make a believer out of you. And the performance is as good as, OR BETTER than ODBC! Thanks for making life a bit more bearable Mr. Sussman!
