Short Take: MS, Intersolv partner on OLE DB

Intersolv has inked a deal with Microsoft to promote Microsoft?s Universal Data Access technology and to develop products that use Microsoft?s OLE DB specification for accessing multiple data types. Intersolv already sells data access tools for developers that use ODBC, an application programming interface for database access. The company will develop new OLE DB products, and will port OLE DB to non-Windows operating systems, the companies said.
