Using the OLE DB Consumer Templates

The OLE DB Consumer Templates support the OLE DB version 1.1 specification. The Consumer Templates minimize the amount of code you must write in order to implement a level-0 compliant OLE DB consumer. The templates provide:

• Easy access to OLE DB features and easy integration with ATL and MFC.
  
  
• An easy binding model for database parameters and columns.
  
  
• Native C/C++ data types for OLE DB programming.

To use the OLE DB Templates, you should be familiar with C++ templates, COM, and the OLE DB interfaces. If you are not familiar with OLE DB, refer to the OLE DB Programmer's Reference.
