The CONNX OLE DB Provider is a dynamic-link library that applications can call to access data located in remote systems. Coupled with the CONNX Data Dictionary, the driver works with OLE DB-compliant applications, which increase its flexibility when used by companies with a range of front-end applications.

The OLE DB interface enables applications to access data in database management systems using Structured Query Language (SQL) as a standard. (SQL is a widely accepted industry standard for defining data, manipulating data, data management, access protection, and transaction control. SQL uses tables, indexes, keys, rows, and columns to define storage locations.)
