OLE DB

OLE DB, or Object Linking and Embedding Database, is a Microsoft technology that allows different software applications to access and manage data from various sources, such as databases, spreadsheets, and even emails. It serves as a bridge, enabling programs to communicate and exchange data smoothly, regardless of the underlying data format. This ensures that applications can work with various data sources in a consistent way. OLE DB is often used in environments where data integration is essential, making it easier for developers to build applications that can handle multiple types of data efficiently.
