Programmer's Guide

This section of the OLE DB security administration guide explains the concepts and techniques involved in implementing the OLE DB security interfaces and includes the following topics:

Important Before you decide to implement the security interfaces discussed in this guide, consider that the suggested techniques for OLE DB security administration are very likely to change. Also, if the data store contains relational data and the provider already implements the ICommand interfaces to parse SQL statements, you could easily add support for SQL DDL statements, such as GRANT and REVOKE, to control security settings. However, if the data store contains nonrelational data, if the provider doesn't implement ICommand, or if the data store must be available for use by ADOX, you should implement the interfaces described in this guide—but be prepared to port your code to a new implementation when Microsoft finalizes the design to replace this mechanism.
