Tables and Indexes

SQLOLEDB exposes the IIndexDefinition and ITableDefinition interfaces, allowing consumers to create, alter, and drop Microsoft® SQL Server™ tables and indexes. Valid table and index definitions depend on the version of SQL Server.

The ability to create or drop tables and indexes depends on the SQL Server access rights of the consumer-application user. Dropping a table can be further constrained by the presence of declarative referential integrity constraints or other factors.

Most applications targeting SQL Server use SQL-DMO instead of these OLE DB interfaces. SQL-DMO is a collection of OLE Automation objects that support all the administrative functions of SQL Server. Applications targeting multiple OLE DB providers use these generic OLE DB interfaces that are supported by the various OLE DB providers.
