OLE DB database providers
If your application uses OLE DB to access data, you must install
Microsoft’s Data Access Components software on each user’s
computer if it is not installed already.
The PowerBuilder OLE DB interface requires the functionality
of the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.8 or later
software. Version 2.8 is distributed with Windows XP Service Pack
2 and Windows Server 2003.
To check the version of MDAC on a computer, users can download
and run the MDAC Component Checker utility from the MDAC Downloads page
.
On the Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems, the
Windows Data Access Components (DAC) version 6.0 replaces MDAC,
and implements the functionality requirements of the PowerBuilder
OLE DB interface.
OLE DB data providers
Several Microsoft OLE DB data providers are automatically
installed with MDAC and DAC, including the providers for SQL Server (SQLOLEDB) and ODBC (MSDASQL).
PowerBuilder OLE DB interface files
The PowerBuilder OLE DB interface file is required if your
application uses OLE DB. The ODBC initialization file is required
if you have used it to customize OLE DB settings:
