From the Back Cover

--Bob Beauchemin, Senior Staff Instructor, DevelopMentor The cornerstone of Microsoft's universal data access strategy, OLE DB is a component database architecture that provides universal data integration over an enterprise-wide network. Although powerful, the technology often requires complex programming to accomplish even simple tasks. The OLE DB consumer templates address this important concern. Together, they compose a high-level and high-performance C++ library on top of OLE DB, which greatly facilitates database application development.

A comprehensive and practical guide, OLE DB Consumer Templates is an essential resource for all database programmers working with Microsoft technologies. The book is filled with examples that show you how to harness the power of OLE DB using consumer templates to create efficient, scalable, and manageable database applications.

OLE DB Consumer Templates presents an overview of DNA, COM, universal data access, and how OLE DB fits in with Microsoft's component and data access strategies--it explains the differences between OLE DB and ADO architectures. The author provides detailed and practical information on using OLE DB consumer templates to develop all the major elements and functions of database applications, including:

  • OLE DB wizard
  • OLE DB errors
  • OLE DB properties
  • Data sources and sessions
  • Tables, commands, rowsets, and accessors
  • Exchanging data
  • BLOBs
  • Transactions
  • Schema information
In addition to the OLE DB consumer templates, this book also features the author's library of template extensions that provide further options to enhance the capabilities of OLE DB. Appendices discuss advanced C++ techniques, and provide a reference to OLE DB types and conversions.
