OpenLink’s OLE DB providers are a Windows-only, Single-Tier solution. They do not connect directly to backend databases. Instead, the OLE DB providers interact with the Windows ODBC Driver Manager which loads the ODBC Driver which connects to the backend database. Be sure to visit OpenLink’s Support Wiki to see diagrams depicting OpenLink’s OLE DB Data Access Architecture. OpenLink’s Support Wiki also has detailed installation, configuration, and trouble-shooting articles that pertain to this product.
