Overview
OpenAccess™ OLE DB SDK

OpenAccess OLE DB SDK provides the toolkit and the run-time software components needed to implement an OLE DB provider for your data source within weeks -- easily enable your data source to plug and play in Microsoft's Universal Data Access (UDA) strategy. The toolkit is used to build an Interface Provider (IP) to your data source through the implementation of a defined API consisting of 10 functions.

OpenAccess SDK is suited for making desktop or server based data sources accessible through OLE DB It provides 99% of the code that is required to open up a database. The other 1% of the code resides between our SQL engine and your database. This is the code you write to take information from the SQL engine and to use it to process rows of data from your database. Whether implementing a local or client/server solution, you write your code with very little concern for the OLE DB interfaces, COM, SQL, networking, optimization, data types, and many other issues. You worry about taking a request to process data for which we provide you all the information you need to do it optimally. The 1% code you write can be written in C, C++, Java, or a .NET language and this code is the same regardless of whether you want to support ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB, or ADO.NET.
