Short Take: Visigenic will support OLE DB

Visigenic Software has added support for Microsoft's OLE DB specification to its VisiODBC Drivers and VisiChannel for ODBC data access tools. OLE DB is designed to access not only relational data but data from spreadsheets, email, and unstructured object data. Any application that uses the Visigenic data access drivers will now be able to access not only databases but any data format that OLE DB supports.
