The Microsoft Jet (Joint Engine Technology) Database Engine was created in 1992 for Microsoft Access. Although it has been incorporated into several Microsoft products since then, it's still synonymous with the Microsoft Access product line. The driver that allows programs and scripts to interface with the JET engine is called the Jet OLE DB Provider (where OLE refers to Microsoft's Object Linking and Embedding technology).It's one of several Microsoft Data Access Components (commonly abbreviated to MDAC), a framework of Microsoft technologies that presents programmers with a consistent way of developing applications that can interact with almost any data store. Other MDAC technologies include ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).In a recent article, we used the Access Export Wizard as a means of generating a Comma-separated-Values (CSV) file. In today's follow-up, we're going to construct some connection strings that will allow us to perform queries against the contents of the CSV file using the various Microsoft data providers.

The Who's Who of MDAC Technologies OLE DB ProvidersThe OLE DB providers were created to access everything from databases such as Access, Oracle, and SQL Server, to simple data stores such as Excel spreadsheets, and of course, text files. The Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Jet is by far the most utilized of these. The OleDb.NET data provider provides access to OLE DB providers with the help of native OLE drivers. If you installed any Microsoft Office applications or Access 2000 and above you will have the MDAC drivers. Otherwise, you can download version 2.8 from the ODBC.NETThe ODBC.NET data provider delivers access to ODBC data sources with the help of native ODBC drivers. One of the best things about working with ADO.NET data providers is all data providers define the similar class hierarchy.

The only things you need to change are the classes and the connection string. Unlike the OleDb data providers, the ODBC data provider is an add-on component to the.NET Framework. If the ODBC.NET provider isn't installed on your system, you can download it from the.NET Software Development Kit (SDK) and Visual Studio.NET. You can find the ODBC.NET data provider on the. Text ODBC DriverThe Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) also include the Microsoft Text ODBC Driver. This provider pre-dates.NET and still provides backwards compatibility.
