DESCRIPTION:
A great intro to databases for the impatient This is the intro best book about Perl and databases out there. The book assumes you know nothing about databases and only the rudiments of Perl. It has lots and lots of examples, and several parts that I find myself coming back to often as a reference.The book starts with a very brief introduction to the basic concepts and jargon of databases (about 35 pages), and then it jumps into the meat of the book, 13 chapters (about A great intro to databases for the impatient Sean Burke This is the intro best book about Perl and databases out there.

Shame it wasn't proof read gdyn I bought this book simply because it had a section on Session Management, so I went straight to that section (chapter 9). When I tried to get the code working, it became obvious that there was something missing, notably an HTML template. No problem I thought - there's probably an addendum on-line. Unfortunately not - a search led to Michalski's home page with nothing more useful than a statement saying it is his intention to get addenda for all his books up online at some point (but no indication as to when). The publishers, Wiley, have all the files from the book available for download, but unfortunately not the missing template.Now I real. totally misleading title I bought this book to learn some advance database programming specifically with Oracle which the book claims it does cover. However, what I found was a perl mysql programming book that has devoted half its contents to web site development (which I'm not interested in). I think this book should be renamed to "website development using perl and mysql". If you really just want to learn database programming using perl read "programming DBI"
