I use this book frequently when programming. It is not a beginner book for OLE DB. But it does provide excellent examples in many instances of coding.
very helpful once you have a base COM & Ole db understanding

this is the only book I could find on OLE DB besides SDK docs, so for that alone I am happy to have it. I did find his step by step approach to developing an oledb app was very helpful, once I had gathered enough knowledge from other sources about COM & some basic Ole db knowledge. this is a good book if you are an intermediate at com and have a basic familiarity with oledb and of course have a good grasp of c++; it was at that point that I found the book very helpful. But plan on reading other materials first to get your base understanding of com & ole db before benefitting from this book (and it was annoying to see comments stating that memset was allocating memory). This book does fill a good niche though to help you get from a base understanding of ole db to a very strong intermediate level (helped me do that anyway) and it saved me a lot of time making that leap that I couldn't have done without reading this book.

This is one of the best books on OLE DB 1.1 that I have come accross. I wish there was an OLE DB 2.0 version of this book!
Excellent Book!

This is one of the best treaments of OLE DB and COM that I have read. It provides a complete step-by-step guide to developing OLE DB applications. Simply, it's the best OLE DB/ADO book avilable on the market today!
