Universal data access reference and software developer's kit for Microsoft Windows® and Microsoft Windows NT® operating systems.
Build business applications that exploit all your organization's information resources-in whatever form and from wherever they reside in the enterprise-with Microsoft's powerful OLE DB 2.0 technology. This kit packages complete information and tools to create universal data access for all Windows-based and Windows NT-based systems. You'll discover how to expose data stores and extend full-blown DBMS functionality to personal or group databases, individual file systems, spreadsheets-even e-mail.
Get documentation straight from the Microsoft OLE DB Team:
- Explore key development concepts-including component database management systems, transaction management, commands, rowsets, objects, and properties
- Get the complete OLE DB 2.0 interface specification in an easy-to-use format
- Find technical appendixes with valuable syntax and semantic information-pertinent data types, schema rowsets, properties, and more
The Microsoft Data Access 2.0 Software Development Kit on CD-ROM includes:
- ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO)-a high-level object set built on top of OLE DB and accessible to the Microsoft Visual Basic®, Java, script, or C++ programmer
- The Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Data exposes OLE DB objects on top of any ODBC driver so that OLE DB applications can access ODBC data
- Native Microsoft OLE DB providers for Microsoft SQL ServerT, Microsoft Access, and Oracle data
- Remote Data Services-components for accessing remote data across the Internet or intranets
- OLE DB CoreServices-common services such as data conversion libraries, resource pooling, transaction enlistment, advanced cursor facilities, data provider enumeration, and a common user interface for managing connection information
- ODBC Components-ODBC 3.51 driver manager and associated components, along with ODBC drivers for Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Microsoft Visual FoxPro®, and Microsoft Access data
- Test tools and test suites for verifying OLE DB providers from OLE DB and ADO
- Online reference, Help files, common components, samples, headers, and libraries for all data access components-ADO, OLE DB, and ODBC
