Overview of Microsoft's Universal Data Access Strategy
Microsoft's strategy for Universal Data Access is to provide access to a wide range of data through a single access model. This data might consist of both relational and non-relational data. Microsoft accomplishes this through the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC), which comes installed in all Windows 2000 systems or can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/data/.
MDAC is comprised of three elements: OLE DB, Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
