SUMMARY
In Microsoft OLE DB 1.x, consumers generally connect to a provider through the root enumerator, or they pass the provider's CLSID to CoCreateInstance, as in this example:

//Create an instance of CLSID_MSDASQL

CoCreateInstance(CLSID_MSDASQL, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IDBInitialize,(void**)pIDBInitialize); To take advantage of the common services that are provided as part of OLE DB version 2.0 or OLE DB version 2.5 or 2.6, OLE DB consumers need to create provider instances by calling methods in either the IDataInitialize or the IDBPromptInitialize interfaces. The DataInitialize interface is supported through the Service Component Manager, which can be instantiated with CLSID_MSDAINITIALIZE. The IDBPromptInitialize interface is supported by the Data Links component, which can be instantiated with CLSID_DataLinks.

For example, to create an instance of a provider that can take advantage of OLE DB 2.0 services, based on the provider's CLSID, the code would look like this:

//Create an instance of the OLE DB Initialization Component

CoCreateInstance(CLSID_MSDAINITIALIZE, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IDataInitialize,(void**)&pIDataInitialize);

//Create an instance of CLSID_MSDASQL with supported Services pIDataInitialize->CreateDBInstance(CLSID_MSDASQL, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,NULL, IID_IDBInitialize,(IUnknown**)&pIDBInitialize); OLE DB services are automatically invoked any time the consumer creates an OLE DB data source object through IDataInitialize or IDBPromptInitialize.

NOTE: OLE DB Services are automatically invoked by default when you use Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO).



How To Enable or Disable Services for a Provider
You can enable or disable individual OLE DB services, by default, for all applications that access a single provider. To do this, add an OLEDB_SERVICES registry entry under the provider's CLSID, with a DWORD value that specifies the services to enable or disable as follows:

How to Override Provider Service Defaults
The provider's registry value for OLEDB_SERVICES is returned as the default value for the DBPROP_INIT_OLEDBSERVICES initialization property on the data source object.

As long as the registry entry exists, the provider's objects are aggregated and the user can override the provider's default setting for enabled services by setting the DBPROP_INIT_OLEDBSERVICES property prior to initialization. To enable or disable a particular service, the user gets the current value of the DBPROP_INIT_OLEDBSERVICES property, sets or clears the bit for the particular property to be enabled or disabled, and then resets the property.

You can set DBPROP_INIT_OLEDBSERVICES directly in OLE DB, or in the connection string passed to ADO or IDataInitialize::GetDatasource. The values that correspond to enable or disable individual services are in the list that follows:

DBPROP_INIT_OLEDBSERVICES
If the registry entry does not exist for the provider, the Component Managers does not aggregate the provider's objects, and no services are invoked, even if explicitly requested by the user.

Here is a code example that illustrates how to invoke the service component from an OLE DB application. This example creates a CLSID_MSDAINITIALIZE provider and implements session pooling, which is one of the service components that OLE DB provides.

NOTE:


 * This program assumes you use a single processor computer.
 * You must have OLEDB_SERVICES set to 0xffffffff or 0xfffffffb under the SQLOLEDB for session pooling to work.
 * If you set DBPROP_INIT_PROMPT to DBPROMPT_PROMPT, you will not get session pooling. This is because the provider by default assumes a different connection when you are opening an INIT PROMPT dialog box
