I could probably do it a different way as far as the module is concerned but I just wanted to practice basic DB ops. Another topic of discussion would be "when do I need to write code to access the DB"? Not having had too much experience in that area I may be posing a superfluous question.

Exactly the first scenario.I have that book but it doesn't really go into the detail I need. As you say it is a good start. But I need a good finish.
I have created a module with a form which should CRUD (can one say that?) to a table I have defined in the install file. If I could just find some sample code... How to insert (I know db_insert etc but what about the return codes and messages etc etc) .
Thanks

Not sure what you mean here. Are you talking about writing code using the drupal database API db_query, etc.? If so Drupal Pro Development is a good start. Perhaps you’re talking about using working with external non-drupal databases? Or something else?

Does anyone know of a good book covering how to work with databases and drupal?
Thanks
