The OLE DB Root Enumerator Object enumerates OLE DB providers and enumerators on your system. The root enumerator traverses the registry searching for providers and enumerators listed in the registry. It has a class ID of CLSID_OLEDB_ENUMERATOR. In the rowset returned by ISourcesRowset::GetSourcesRowset, the root enumerator returns values from the registry as follows:
| Column | Description |
| SOURCES_NAME | For enumerators, the value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ EnumeratorCLSID subkey.
For data sources, the value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ |
| SOURCES_DESCRIPTION | For enumerators, the value of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ EnumeratorCLSID\OLE DB Enumerator subkey.
For data sources, the value of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ |
