MORE INFORMATION

OLE DB SDK

OLE DB is a set of OLE interfaces that provides applications with uniform access to data stored in diverse information sources. These interfaces support the amount of DBMS functionality appropriate to the Data Connection, enabling it to share its data. To learn more about OLE DB, please refer to the SDKGUIDE.hlp, OLEDB1.hlp, and RELNOTES.DOC files located in the \OLEDB\DOC directory on the disc.

To install the OLE DB SDK, run the SETUP.exe program located in the OLEDB folder in the root of the Visual C++ compact disc.

ADO, OLE DB, and Visual C++

ADO is an object model on top of the OLE DB interfaces. It reduces the number of interfaces required to implement an application. ADO also provides a type library which OLE DB does not. If you wish to use OLE DB with the new compiler COM support, you must write to ADO.

Visual C++ 5.0 ships two versions of ADO. The beta version in the OLE DB SDK and the shipping version in redist\ado. Use the shipping version to build and test your application before releasing it. You must also distribute the shipping version of ADO with your application.

Remove UUID2.LIB from link line of OLE DB SDK TableCopy Sample

The TableCopy sample in the OLE DB SDK 1.1 will not compile correctly with Visual C++ 5.0. You will receive a link error stating that UUID2.LIB is not found. This is because UUID.LIB, UUID2.LIB, and UUID3.LIB have been combined in Visual C++ 5.0 in the UUID.LIB file. To fix the build problem, go to Project Settings for the sample, select the Link tab, select All configurations, and remove the UUID2.LIB entry from the Object/Library Modules line. You should then be able to successfully compile and link this sample.

TableCopy Faults with Oracle Data Connections

The TableCopy sample will not function correctly with an Oracle Data Connection. Select a different Data Connection type to use this sample.
