I know of the existence of that book but the problem is, if i order that book
it would take abount one month to actually have it, and this project has to
be finished before that ... so i am really searching online material ...

I know it is an example, as in i can make it work i type it in add the driver
add the query and it works perfectly but i'm not happy with that i want to
know WHY is works and WHAT it does.
I know but exemple 14-7 isn't a really query it's just an insert .... i am
more interested in query's ....
