A
Provider-Specific Information

This appendix describes OLE DB information that is specific to Oracle Provider for OLE DB. For generic OLE DB information that includes a detailed listing of all OLE DB properties and interfaces, see the Microsoft OLE DB Programmer's Reference Guide.

This appendix contains these topics:

• Datatype Mappings in Rowsets and Parameters

• Properties Supported

• Interfaces Supported

• MetaData Columns Supported

• OraOLEDB Tracing

Datatype Mappings in Rowsets and Parameters

This section lists the datatype mappings between Oracle datatypes and OLE DB-defined types. Oracle Provider for OLE DB represents Oracle datatypes by using certain OLE DB-defined datatypes in the rowset as well as in parameters. OLE DB-defined types are also mapped to an Oracle datatype when creating tables.

Each Oracle datatype is mapped to a specific OLE DB datatype, as shown in Table A-1. This correspondence is used when datatype information is retrieved from an Oracle database.

OraOLEDB Tracing

OraOLEDB provides the ability to trace the interface calls for debugging purposes. This feature has been provided to assist Oracle Support Services in debugging customer issues.

The provider can be configured to record the following information:

• For OLE DB Interface method entry and exit:
  • Parameter value(s) supplied (entry)

  • Return value; HRESULT (exit)

  • Thread ID (entry and exit)

• For Distributed transaction enlistment and delistment:
  • Session object information

  • Transaction ID

    Note: In order to record global transaction enlistment and delistment information, the TraceLevel value must be set to session object. See "TraceLevel" .

Registry Setting for Tracing Calls

In order to trace the interface calls, you must configure the following registry values for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\OLEDB\:

• TraceFileName

  Valid Value: Any valid path and filename

  TraceFileName specifies the filename that is to be used for logging trace information. If TraceOption is set to 0, the name is used as is. However, if TraceOption is 1, the thread ID is appended to the filename provided. See "TraceOption" for more information.

• TraceCategory

  Valid Values:

  • 0 = None

  • 1 = OLEDB Interface method entry

  • 2 = OLEDB Interface method exit

  • 4 = Distributed Transaction Enlistment and Delistment

  TraceCategory specifies the information that is to be traced. Combinations of different tracing categories can be made by simply adding the valid values. For example, set TraceCategory to 3 to trace all OLE DB interface method entries and exits.

• TraceLevel

  Valid Values:

  • 0 = None

  • 1 = Data Source object

  • 2 = Session object

  • 4 = Command object

  • 8 = Rowset object

  • 16 = Error object

  • 64 = Multiple Results Object

  TraceLevel specifies the OLE DB objects to be traced. Because tracing all the entry and exit calls for all the OLE DB objects can be excessive, TraceLevel is provided to limit tracing to a single or multiple OLE DB objects. To obtain tracing on multiple objects, simply add the valid values. For example, if TraceLevel is set to 12 and TraceCategory is set to 3, the trace file will only contain method entry and exit for Command and Rowset objects.

  The TraceLevel value must be set to session object (2) to trace global transaction enlistment and delistment information.

• TraceOption

  Valid Values:

  • 0 = Single trace file

  • 1 = Multiple trace files

  TraceOption specifies whether to log trace information in single or multiple files for each Thread ID. If a single trace file is specified, the filename specified in TraceFileName is used. If multiple trace file is requested, a Thread ID is appended to the filename provided to create a trace file for each thread.
