A predefined string containing other initialization properties.
This property’s name, which is used in the connection string, is Source OLE DB Provider.
This is a standard OLE DB property; however, it does not specify usage, which is specific to those providers that use it.
In PivotTable® Service, this property is used by Microsoft® ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO) and ActiveX Data Objects (Multidimensional) (ADO MD). The property string is semicolon delimited. Double quotation marks can be used to delimit individual values.
During initialization (IDBInit::Initialize), every recognized property from the DBPROP_INIT_PROVIDERSTRING is copied into its respective property value, overwriting existing property values.
After completion of the initialization process (that is, connection to an OLAP server or creation of a local cube), DBPROP_INIT_PROVIDERSTRING is cleared.
It is the client application’s responsibility to persist the connection string.
