Microsoft OLE DB

Microsoft's OLE DB provides applications, compilers, and other database components access to Microsoft and third-party data stores. OLE DB defines interfaces for accessing and manipulating every type of data. These interfaces are used both by data consuming applications and data providing applications.

An OLE DB Consumer is any application that can access OLE DB Providers and display the data as embedded objects, which retain their original format and links to the application that created them. OLE DB Consumers are also known as external OLE DB-enabled applications.
