MORE INFORMATIONOLE DB SDK
OLE DB is a set of OLE interfaces that provides applications with uniform
access to data stored in diverse information sources. These interfaces
support the amount of DBMS functionality appropriate to the Data
Connection, enabling it to share its data. To learn more about OLE DB,
please refer to the SDKGUIDE.hlp, OLEDB1.hlp, and RELNOTES.DOC files
located in the \OLEDB\DOC directory on the disc.
To install the OLE DB SDK, run the SETUP.exe program located in the OLEDB
folder in the root of the Visual C++ compact disc.
ADO, OLE DB, and Visual C++
ADO is an object model on top of the OLE DB interfaces. It reduces the
number of interfaces required to implement an application. ADO also
provides a type library which OLE DB does not. If you wish to use OLE DB
with the new compiler COM support, you must write to ADO.
Visual C++ 5.0 ships two versions of ADO. The beta version in the OLE DB
SDK and the shipping version in redist\ado. Use the shipping version to
build and test your application before releasing it. You must also
distribute the shipping version of ADO with your application.
Remove UUID2.LIB from link line of OLE DB SDK TableCopy Sample
The TableCopy sample in the OLE DB SDK 1.1 will not compile correctly with
Visual C++ 5.0. You will receive a link error stating that UUID2.LIB is not
found. This is because UUID.LIB, UUID2.LIB, and UUID3.LIB have been
combined in Visual C++ 5.0 in the UUID.LIB file. To fix the build problem,
go to Project Settings for the sample, select the Link tab, select All
configurations, and remove the UUID2.LIB entry from the Object/Library
Modules line. You should then be able to successfully compile and link this
sample.
TableCopy Faults with Oracle Data Connections
The TableCopy sample will not function correctly with an Oracle Data
Connection. Select a different Data Connection type to use this sample.
