OLE DB Templates

The OLE DB templates make OLE DB data access easier. Visual C++ provides template classes that implement many of the commonly used OLE DB interfaces. You can use the Visual C++ consumer templates to write an OLE DB client (consumer) application and the provider templates to write a server (provider) application.
