OLE DB for OLAP Code Samples

This chapter provides several OLE DB for OLAP code samples illustrating how to do the following:

• Use the root enumerator and the sources rowset to identify a multidimensional provider (MDP).
  
  
• Create an instance of a data source by using the DISPLAY_NAME column of the sources rowset.
  
  
• Create an instance of a data source directly by using the provider's CLSID.
