Query: Good basics, sketchy on ADO, stuff missing from CD

I purchased this book based on the reviews I read here. I have found the book useful in my work, and worth the price, but of limited help when I started using ADO. There is a good, detailed example of hooking up an ADO control to an Access database (I had to download the sample database from the internet, because I could not find it on the CD where it was supposed to be, and I had to convert the downloaded table to the latest version of Access before the program would recognize it), but it didn't go into how to hook up any other kind of database, nor did the author give much by way of clues to help me connect to an Oracle database.
