What's New in the SAS 9.3 Providers for OLE DB
Overview
The SAS Providers for
OLE DB have the following changes and enhancements:
-
retrieve SAS data set type, label,
encoding, and code page from schema tables rowset
-
clarify use of the DBBINDING.dwFlags
member
-
Retrieve SAS Data Set Type, Label, Encoding, and Code Page
from the Schema Rowset
For the
SAS/SHARE provider
and Local provider, the SAS data set type, label, encoding, and Windows
code page can be retrieved from the schema rowset. The information
for these fields is the same information that is provided by the CONTENTS
procedure.
Clarify Use of the DBBINDING.dwFlags Member
For customers that program
to the OLE DB interface, a clarification has been made to the documentation
for the DBBINDING.dwFlags member. Previous releases of the providers
used a version of the Microsoft Active Template Library for Microsoft
Visual Studio 6. This version of the library did not validate the
value of this member. Beginning with the 9.3 release, the providers
use the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 version of the library. This
version of the library does validate the dwFlags member. For the SAS
providers, the value must be zero. A value of zero indicates that
the provider returns text, as opposed to HTML or a COM object. SAS
providers only support returning text.
For more information,
see Binding to Rowset Columns.
Cancel MDX Queries
When the OLAP provider
is used to perform an MDX query, the request can be cancelled with
the Cancel method. This support is limited to MDX queries that are
made asynchronously and with the Execute method.
