OLEDB

OLEDB ("Object Linking and Embedding Database") is supported as a universal technology for connecting to all database systems and other systems that provide a corresponding driver.

The name of the provider depends on the specific system. The other parameters may also vary in name. The following is therefore only an example of the main parameters for a connection to Microsoft SQL Server.

Key

Description

Provider*

Value SQLOLEDB for Microsoft SQL Server

Data Source*

Name or IP address of the database server

The name or IP address can be supplemented by an instance name separated by a \. A port number that differs from the default value 1433 can be specified with comma separation.

Initial Catalog*

Name of the database

User ID(*)

Password(*)

User name and password for authentication

Integrated Security

Value SSPI if Windows authentication is to be used as an alternative to user name and password

Specify the database command in standard SQL syntax. You can generally use a SELECT statement for this. Depending on the macro function, the provider also supports other SQL commands.
