OLE DB 是用于访问数据的基于 COM 的应用程序编程接口 (API)。OLE DB 支持访问以 OLE DB 提供程序可以使用的任何格式（数据库、电子表格、文本文件等）存储的数据。每个 OLE DB 提供程序从某一特定类型的数据源（例如 SQL Server 数据库、Microsoft Access 数据库或 Microsoft Excel 电子表格）公开数据。

本教程说明如何从 C# 应用程序中使用 Microsoft Access 数据库。

教程

本教程说明如何从 C# 中使用 Microsoft Access 数据库。它显示如何创建数据集并从数据库向该数据集添加表。本示例程序中使用的 BugTypes.mdb 数据库是 Microsoft Access 2000 .MDB 文件。

示例

本程序访问 BugTypes.mdb 数据库，创建一个数据集并向其中添加表，然后显示表、列和行的数目。它还显示每行的标题。

输出

BugTypes.mdb 数据库的 Categories 表包含下列信息：

当运行此示例时，屏幕上将显示下列输出：
