Title: Can be interesting, but don't believe the title
Review: This book is subtitled "Master Next Generation Web Database Techniques", so you might be forgiven for thinking that it has something to do with the web, or HTML, or distributed computing. No such luck.What you really get is mostly a collection of annotated source code listings for a simple SQL interpreter and database using plain text files, padded out with one or two chapters of introduction to SQL and JDBC. If you are interested in how an SQL database might be written, or you want to provide an SQL/JDBC interface to some plain text files then it could still be a ueful book, but I can't give a good review to any book which so wildly misrepresents itself.
Is the review positive or negative?
