Summary

Today you learned where to start applying SQL using the ordinary, everyday stuff you find lying about your hard drive. We covered examples using Visual C++, Java, and Delphi—popular front-end development tools. Many other tools are available on the market today, but what we have shown should give you an idea of how applications can be developed using these tools to access a relational database with SQL. The best way to build on what you have learned is to go out, query, and practice using SQL as much as you can.
