Great for OO4O, not so for ADO, etc.

The book should have been titled "OO4O Programming with VB" and that'd merit 4.5 stars!The authors (all being Oracle Tech and Support Analyst) do a very good job of describing the workings of OO4O. While a section is dedicated to ADO, ODBC, and OLE DB, this book is primarily for OO4O users-to-be. Since I was looking to use ADO and OLE-DB, I found this book interesting but useless (only 1 example). What tickled my fancy (and I am still reading it!) is the book "Visual Basic for Oracle 8" by Dov Trietsch (Wrox) which does an unbiased treatment.
