Introduction to PI SQL Client OLEDB

PI SQL Client OLEDB is a software component interface that offers data access to the PI System through the use of SQL queries. PI SQL Client OLEDB is part of PI SQL Client.

Object Linking and Embedding, Database (OLE DB) supports a wide variety of non-relational databases that do not necessarily implement SQL. OLE DB has a client-provider model, where OLE DB provider processes the OLE DB API function calls that it receives from the application. It interacts with the file system or database management system to access the required data, and returns results to the application. See the OLE DB Providers Overview for further information.

This version of PI SQL Client OLEDB supports connections and queries for PI AF server.

PI SQL Client OLEDB is a member of the Developer Technologies product suite (see About Developer Technologies for more information).
