MORE INFORMATION

The OleDbDataAdapter and the OleDbDataReader functions are derived from the .NET Framework class System.Data.OleDb namespace. A .NET data provider describes a collection of classes used to access a data source in the managed space. With the OleDbDataAdapter function, you have a set of data commands and database connections that you can use to fill a dataset or update a data source. With the OleDbDataReader function, you can read a forward-only stream of data rows from a data source.

When you use a managed provider in .NET programs, to connect to an Analysis Services data source, the OLAP provider returns a flattened rowset instead of a multidimensional cellset.
