The OLE DB Driver for SQL Server is a stand-alone data access application programming interface (API), used for OLE DB, that was introduced in SQL Server 2005 (9. x). OLE DB Driver for SQL Server delivers the SQL OLE DB driver in one dynamic-link library (DLL).

Was missing the expected column Bmk1000?

The previous error about the missing “Bmk1000” column appears to happen only when the where clause in a delete or update statement is referencing non-numeric columns. So if you have a way to uniquely identify the rows by using numeric columns, do so.

What is Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers?

What is IBMDA400?

Supports record-level access and SQL access to IBM® i database files. ADO and OLE DB standards provide programmers with consistent interfaces to IBM i data and services. All three of the providers (the IBMDA400, the IBMDASQL, and the IBMDARLA) handle all IBM i-to-PC and data type-to-data type conversions.

Which is better OLE DB or ODBC?

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).

How is OLE DB provider instantiated in SQL Server?

SQL Server allows the OLE DB provider to be instantiated as an in-process server. The default behavior is to instantiate the OLE DB provider outside the SQL Server process. Instantiating the provider outside the SQL Server process protects the SQL Server process from errors in the OLE DB provider.

Where do I find the OLE DB provider string?

The Provider string can contain any valid connection properties the provider supports. Connection properties are separated by a semi-colon. Valid connection properties for the IBM i OLE DB provider can be found in the Programmer’s Toolkit and in technote iSeries Access for Windows Custom Connection Properties for OLE DB.

Where can I find the OLE DB technical reference?

The OLE DB Technical Reference, which is shipped with the product, provides complete documentation of OLE DB Provider support. To access this information, select Start > Programs > IBM i Access > Programmer’s Toolkit > OLE DB Provider Technical Reference.
