Murach's C#
An introduction to database programming

In case you aren't up-to-speed on database design and SQL queries, this chapter starts by introducing those subjects. After that, it gives you the conceptual background that you need for database programming with the ADO.NET objects that work directly with a database. You'll also learn how concurrency errors and the .NET disconnected data architecture affect database programming.
