A Provider-Specific Information

This appendix describes OLE DB information that is specific to Oracle Provider for OLE DB. For generic OLE DB information that includes a detailed listing of all OLE DB properties and interfaces, see the Microsoft OLE DB Programmer's Reference Guide.

This appendix contains these topics:

Data Type Mappings in Rowsets and Parameters

This section lists the data type mapping between Oracle data types and OLE DB-defined types. Oracle Provider for OLE DB represents Oracle data types by using certain OLE DB-defined data types in the rowset as well as in parameters. OLE DB-defined types are also mapped to an Oracle data type when creating tables.

Each Oracle data type is mapped to a specific OLE DB data type, as shown in Table A-1. This correspondence is used when data type information is retrieved from an Oracle Database.

Rowset Property Implications

Oracle Provider for OLE DB sets other necessary properties if a particular property is set to VARIANT_TRUE.

  • If DBPROP_IROWSETLOCATE is set to VARIANT_TRUE, then the following properties are also set to VARIANT_TRUE:

    • DBPROP_IROWSETIDENTITY

    • DBPROP_CANHOLDROWS

    • DBPROP_BOOKMARKS

    • DBPROP_CANFETCHBACKWARDS

    • DBPROP_CANSCROLLBACKWARDS

  • If DBPROP_IROWSETSCROLL is set to VARIANT_TRUE, then the following properties are also set to VARIANT_TRUE:

    • DBPROP_IROWSETIDENTITY

    • DBPROP_IROWSETLOCATE

    • DBPROP_CANHOLDROWS

    • DBPROP_BOOKMARKS

    • DBPROP_CANFETCHBACKWARDS

    • DBPROP_CANSCROLLBACKWARDS

  • If DBPROP_IROWSETUPDATE is set to VARIANT_TRUE, then the DBPROP_IROWSETCHANGE property is also set to VARIANT_TRUE.

Interfaces Supported

This section identifies the OLE DB interfaces that are supported by Oracle Provider for OLE DB.

Data Source

CoType TDataSource {
      interface IDBCreateSession;
      interface IDBInitialize;

   }

Multiple Results

CoType TMultipleResults {
      interface IMultipleResults;
      interface ISupportErrorInfo;
   }

Transaction Options

CoType TTransactionOptions {
      interface ITransactionOptions;
      interface ISupportErrorInfo;
   }

Custom Error Object

CoType TCustomErrorObject {
      interface IErrorLookup;
   }

MetaData Columns Supported

DBTYPE_BASECOLUMNNAME, DBTYPE_BASETABLENAME, and DBTYPE_BASESCHEMANAME metadata columns are not populated for read-only recordsets. OraOLEDB creates a read-only recordset for server cursor for SQL queries with DISTINCT or UNIQUE keywords. OraOLEDB also creates a read-only recordset for server cursor for JOIN queries.

The following metadata columns are supported by the column rowset of OraOLEDB:

OraOLEDB Tracing

OraOLEDB provides the ability to trace the interface calls for debugging purposes. This feature has been provided to assist Oracle Support Services in debugging customer issues.

The provider can be configured to record the following information:

Registry Setting for Tracing Calls

To trace the interface calls, you must configure the following registry values for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_HOMENAME\OLEDB\:

  • TraceFileName

    Valid Value: Any valid path and file name

    TraceFileName specifies the file name that is to be used for logging trace information. If TraceOption is set to 0, the name is used as is. However, if TraceOption is 1, then the thread ID is appended to the file name provided. See "TraceOption" for more information.

  • TraceCategory

    Valid Values:

    • 0 = None

    • 1 = OLEDB Interface method entry

    • 2 = OLEDB Interface method exit

    • 4 = Distributed Transaction Enlistment and Delistment

    TraceCategory specifies the information that is to be traced. Combinations of different tracing categories can be made by adding the valid values. For example, set TraceCategory to 3 to trace all OLE DB interface method entries and exits.

  • TraceLevel

    Valid Values:

    • 0 = None

    • 1 = Data Source object

    • 2 = Session object

    • 4 = Command object

    • 8 = Rowset object

    • 16 = Error object

    • 64 = Multiple Results Object

    TraceLevel specifies the OLE DB objects to be traced. Because tracing all the entry and exit calls for all the OLE DB objects can be excessive, TraceLevel is provided to limit tracing to a single or multiple OLE DB objects. To obtain tracing on multiple objects, add the valid values. For example, if TraceLevel is set to 12 and TraceCategory is set to 3, the trace file will only contain method entry and exit for Command and Rowset objects.

    The TraceLevel value must be set to session object (2) to trace global transaction enlistment and delistment information.

  • TraceOption

    Valid Values:

    • 0 = Single trace file

    • 1 = Multiple trace files

    TraceOption specifies whether to log trace information in single or multiple files for each Thread ID. If a single trace file is specified, the file name specified in TraceFileName is used. If multiple trace file is requested, a Thread ID is appended to the file name provided to create a trace file for each thread.
