Re: Book on SQLserver and ASP

Hi Michelle,

There are a couple of chapters on database techniques in the Wrox "Active
Server Pages" text - these have info on ASP and SQL Server interspersed.  I
can't quite gather how familiar you are with Access and ADO - if you are,
I'd tend to recommend a SQL Server-specific book (I've found the "Inside
Microsoft SQL Server" book handy, as well as the Wrox "ADO Programmer's
Reference".)

I had a situation where I was using ASP with Access and wanted to upscale to
SQL Server.  I had my ISP run the upsizing wizard on the Access database and
went from there.  I don't recall making any significant changes to the
ASP/ADO code (other than changing the OLE/DB provider) - we didn't need to
use any SQL Server-specific features at that point.  It's worked like a
charm since.

Website-wise, I haven't used anything, but if I had a question I'd go to one
of the microsoft.public.sqlserver.* newsgroups

HTH.  Let me know if I can be of more assistance.
