Property group: Initialization
Property set: DBPROPSET_DBINIT
Type: VT_BSTR
Typical R/W: R/W
Description: Location
Indicates the location of the data source object or enumerator to connect to. Typically, this will be a server name. DBPROP_INIT_LOCATION is used as the first part of a two-part name to qualify the data source object specified in the DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE property. For example, if the data source object is defined on a different machine, this might be the machine name on which to look for the data source object definition. This is typically not used if the provider can identify the data source object by using a single name, such as the name of an RDBMS server, that the consumer can use to identify the data source object directly.
