OLEDB Provider Information Event Class
The OLEDB Provider Information event class occurs when a distributed query is run and collects information corresponding to the provider connection.
This event class contains all the properties that are collected from the remote provider by using various property sets, including the following:
- DBPROPSET_DATASOURCEINFO
- SQLPROPSET_OPTHINTS
- DBPROPSET_SQLSERVERDATASOURCEINFO (SQL Server only)
- DBPROPSET_SQLSERVERDBINIT (SQL Server only)
- DBPROPSET_ROWSET
- IDBInfo interface
These properties, along with available metadata, are used by the query optimizer to choose the optimal execution plan for the query. This information is useful for tracing execution and analyzing OLE DB calls and events in distributed query profiler traces.
OLEDB Provider Information Event Class Data Columns
| Data column name | Data type | Description | Column ID | Filterable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ApplicationName |

9 |
Yes |
DatabaseID |
int |
ID of the database specified by the USE database statement or the default database if no USE database statement has been issued for a given instance. SQL Server Profiler displays the name of the database if the ServerName data column is captured in the trace and the server is available. Determine the value for a database by using the DB_ID function. |

DatabaseName |
nvarchar |
Name of the database in which the user statement is running. |
35 |
Yes |
EventClass |
int |
Type of event = 194. |
27 |

int |
Sequence of a given event within the request. |
51 |
No |
