Extending the Data Warehouse: an Introduction to OLE DB Extending the Data Warehouse: An Introduction to OLE DB S David Rlba, JADE Tech Inc CleaNlater, FL INTRODUCTION In 1995, I first presented ODBC: Windows to the Outside World, an introduction to the topiC of Open DataBase Connectivity and how to use it effectively. Since then, ODBC has become a useful tool for many SAS sites for cross application access to data. ABSTRACT However, OOBC has its limitations. To address these limitations, and to provide a more flexible Now that you have your data warehoused, how do means of access to many different types of data, you share that infonnation with others who need Microsoft proposed a new standard for data access access to it? SA~ software provides a variety of technology, OLE DB. tools to access and retrieve data from multidimensional databases (MDDBs). However, At SUGI 24, Thomas Cox presented What's Up with MDDBs are not accessible to non-SAS users in your OLE DB?, which provides an excellent overview of organization. Until now.

The same is true for Lotus other platfonns and is now a universal method to SmartSulte member applications. Thus, any OLE share data between non-compatible applications on DB compliant consumer (such as Microsoft Excel, a wide variety of hardware platfonns. Lotus 1-2-3, Knosys ProClarity, and many others) will be able to directly query a SAS MDDB file using The ODBe architecture consisted of four tiers: OLE DB on all major platfonns, including Windows NT, UNIX, and mainframes. { ODBC Driver Manager { ODBe Drivers { Applications This paper will provide an introduction to OLE DB.

  • Comparing OLE DB and ODBC This Document Compares the Basic Features of OLE DB to the Basic Features of ODBC (Open Database Connectivity)
    Comparing OLE DB and ODBC This document compares the basic features of OLE DB to the basic features of ODBC (Open Database Connectivity). It is intended to help clarify when to use one over the other. Introduction OLE DB and ODBC are both specifications created by Microsoft to address universal data access. Each is intended as an industry standard that will make access between one vendor's data store and another vendor's data consumer seamless. Microsoft's definition of OLE DB is a strategic system-level programming interface to data across the organization. OLE DB is an open specification designed to build on the success of ODBC by providing an open standard for accessing all kinds of data. And the definition of ODBC is an industry standard and a component of Microsoft® Windows® Open Services Architecture (WOSA). The ODBC interface makes it possible for applications to access data from a variety of database management systems (DBMSs). ODBC permits maximum interoperability—an application can access data in diverse DBMSs through a single interface. Furthermore, that application will be independent of any DBMS from which it accesses data. Users of the application can add software components called drivers, which create an interface between an application and a specific DBMS. The two primary differences between the two are • OLE DB is a component based specification and ODBC is a procedural based specification • SQL is the core of accessing data using ODBC but just one of the means of data access through OLE DB • ODBC is constrained to relational data stores; OLE DB supports all forms of data stores (relational, hierarchical, etc) In general, OLE DB provides a richer and more flexible interface for data access because it is not tightly bound to a command syntax (like SQL in the case of ODBC).

The first version of the .Net framework was 1.0 which came in the year 2002. In easy words, it is a virtual machine for compiling and executing programs written in different languages like C#, VB.Net etc. It is used to develop Form-based applications, Web-based applications, and Web services. There is a variety of programming languages available on the .Net platform, VB.Net and C# being the most common ones. It is used to build applications for Windows, phone, web, etc. It provides a lot of functionalities and also supports industry standards. .NET Framework supports more than 60 programming languages in which 11 programming languages are designed and developed by Microsoft. The remaining Non-Microsoft Languages which are supported by .NET Framework but not designed and developed by Microsoft. Common Language Runtime(CLR): CLR is the basic and Virtual Machine component of the .NET Framework. It is the run-time environment in the .NET Framework that runs the codes and helps in making the development process easier by providing the various services such as remoting, thread management, type-safety, memory management, robustness, etc.. Basically, it is responsible for managing the execution of .NET programs regardless of any .NET programming language. It also helps in the management of code, as code that targets the runtime is known as the Managed Code and code doesn’t target to runtime is known as Unmanaged code.

  • Programming with Windows Forms
    A P P E N D I X A ■ ■ ■ Programming with Windows Forms Since the release of the .NET platform (circa 2001), the base class libraries have included a particular API named Windows Forms, represented primarily by the System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly. The Windows Forms toolkit provides the types necessary to build desktop graphical user interfaces (GUIs), create custom controls, manage resources (e.g., string tables and icons), and perform other desktop- centric programming tasks. In addition, a separate API named GDI+ (represented by the System.Drawing.dll assembly) provides additional types that allow programmers to generate 2D graphics, interact with networked printers, and manipulate image data. The Windows Forms (and GDI+) APIs remain alive and well within the .NET 4.0 platform, and they will exist within the base class library for quite some time (arguably forever). However, Microsoft has shipped a brand new GUI toolkit called Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) since the release of .NET 3.0. As you saw in Chapters 27-31, WPF provides a massive amount of horsepower that you can use to build bleeding-edge user interfaces, and it has become the preferred desktop API for today’s .NET graphical user interfaces. The point of this appendix, however, is to provide a tour of the traditional Windows Forms API. One reason it is helpful to understand the original programming model: you can find many existing Windows Forms applications out there that will need to be maintained for some time to come. Also, many desktop GUIs simply might not require the horsepower offered by WPF.
