MDAC 2.5 SDK - OLE DB Programmer's Reference
Chapter 14: Properties
The following table shows the property groups that are defined by OLE DB. Providers cannot define their own property groups. Each property group is a set of logically related properties that could apply to an OLE DB object, to an operation on an OLE DB object, or to an object that is not directly represented as an OLE DB object.
| Property group | Description |
| Column | Properties used to create and describe columns. |
| Data Source | Properties that apply to data source objects. These properties can be set for some providers. |
| Data Source Creation | Properties used to create data source objects. |
| Data Source Information | Properties that describe data source objects. These properties are read-only for all providers and constitute a set of static information about the provider and its data source object. |
| Initialization | Properties used to initialize the data source object or enumerator. |
| Index | Properties used to create and describe indexes. |
| Rowset | Properties that apply to rowsets. |
| Session | Properties that apply to sessions. |
| Table | Properties used to create and describe tables. |
| View | Properties used to create views. |
For information about how a consumer determines which group a property is in, see "Getting Information about Properties," later in this chapter.
