In most
cases, you can use the SAS providers for OLE DB to perform the tasks
that are described in the OLE DB specification. The only difference
is the connection information. This chapter contains the following
connection information that is specific to the SAS providers:
-
how to identify each provider.
-
a list of ADO connection properties
for each provider.
-
sample code that illustrates three
ways to open an ADO Connection object. The sample code uses the ProgIDs
and connection properties that are discussed in this chapter.
-
an explanation of what the Data
Source URI format is and how to use it when making connections. The
Data Source URI format is the recommended way to specify connection
information if you are running SAS 9.2 and accessing data via a 9.2
SAS Workspace or SAS OLAP server.
