The necessary components to access to any database.
MDAC 2.8 (
Microsoft Data Access Components) in a framework created by Microsoft, that was designed so that the developers that were working on Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows ME and Windows NT could create applications that were compatible with all kinds of databases. It is formed by three main elements
ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), OLE DB and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
This pack of tools is of great use for any programmer that wants to create applications that access various databases, even simultaneously. Obviously, since it is a
framework, this development by Microsoft lacks an interface and we will have to access its properties by means of the system tools.
It is worth highlighting that is
doesn't include Microsoft Jet, nor Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider, tools that can be downloaded separately.
If you were looking for a pack with which to be able to
work with different databases on your applications,
download MDAC 2.8.
Note: It is only compatible with Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows ME and Windows NT.
