Introduction to the Lotus® Connector for OLE DB

This chapter provides information about the Lotus® Connector for OLE DB. It contains information about creating Microsoft™ SQL server connections. The Lotus® Connector for OLE DB can be used with IBM® Lotus Enterprise Integrator® for Domino® (LEI), Domino® Enterprise Connection Services (DECS), and Lotus® Connector LotusScript® Extensions (LSX).

Use the Lotus® Connector for OLE DB to connect to a Microsoft™ SQL server database. Since Microsoft™ only provides the OLE DB technology on Windows™ platforms, use the ODBC Connector to connect to SQL server databases when LEI is installed on non-Windows platforms.

The Lotus® Connector for OLE DB can be used with SQL server 2000 and 2005.

For information about configuring and testing connectivity, see chapter 2.
