MDAC 2.5 SDK - OLE DB Providers
OLE DB Provider for Oracle
The OLE DB Provider for Oracle allows high performance and functional access to Oracle data for Microsoft® Visual Basic® applications.
The provider exposes interfaces to consumers wanting access to data on one or more Oracle servers. You can use it to develop an optimized OLE DB consumer for Oracle databases.
The OLE DB Provider for Oracle is an OLE DB version 2.0-compliant provider.
The provider supports Component Services (or Microsoft Transaction Server, if you are using Windows NT) functionality. The Component Services enable OLE DB session object pooling and enlistment of automatic transactions. Integration enables this and satisfies pure performance requirements for ADO/Oracle ASP applications.
