Building Highly Scalable Database Applications with .NET

Creating robust, highly available, highly scalable database applications is critical in a web-based economy.

Integrating various non-Microsoft database servers with Microsoft tools and technologies has not always proven to be an easy task.

The new-paradigm of .NET development further complicates the issue, but also provides a powerful set of tools and technologies to build these mission-critical systems.This volume should allow readers to: integrate .NET-based solutions with Oracle and DB2 and MySQL; harness the power of Microsoft's ADO.Net for high performance computing; build efficient components for maximum scalability; integrate with existing COM-based applications; maximize transaction speed and message queue efficiency; and scale applications to a much higher level, resulting in an increase in the number of users or transactions.
