OLE DB database providers

If your application uses OLE DB to access data, you must install Microsoft’s Data Access Components software on each user’s computer if it is not installed already.

You can use the MDAC_TYP.EXE setup file in the Support directory on the CD to update users’ computers. The Microsoft OLE DB providers, SQLOLEDB and MSDASQL, are installed when you run MDAC_TYP.EXE.

You must distribute PBOLE105.DLL with an application that uses OLE DB.

The following files are required if you use the PB DataDirect OLE DB data provider specified. When you install InfoMaker, they are installed in the Sybase\Shared\PowerBuilder\DataDirect folder. If your application uses an OLE DB data provider from another vendor, you must still deploy PBOLE105.DLL as well as the files specified by the vendor. You need to register PBADMINR.DLL, PBINF90R.DLL, PBOR709R.DLL, PBOR890R.DLL, PBSYB09R.DLL, and PBXML09R.DLL as shared DLLs.

NoteOptional Help files Help (.HLP and .CNT) files need only be deployed if you expect users to perform database administration tasks.
