SQLOLEDB, the Microsoft® OLE DB Provider for SQL Server, exposes interfaces to consumers wanting access to data on one or more computers running Microsoft SQL Server™.
When developing an OLE DB consumer, select a provider developed for the data source to consume. Use SQLOLEDB to develop an optimized OLE DB consumer for SQL Server databases.
SQLOLEDB is an OLE DB version 2.0-compliant provider.
The provider passes the command statements (such as SQL-92 and Transact SQL) through to the server. Invalid commands are rejected by the server.
