Remarks

UniDAC consists of two constituents. The first constituent is the general UniDAC Engine that provides unified programming interface for developers. The second constituent is the data access layer which consists of data access providers. These provides are intended for interacting between UniDAC Engine and database servers.

The ProviderName property is intended to switch the current data access provider. If the value of ProviderName is changed while a connection is active, the connection will be forced to close. The following four providers names are acceptable:

• Oracle - provider for Oracle;
• SQL Server - provider for Microsoft SQL Server;
• MySQL - provider for MySQL;
• InterBase - provider for InterBase, Firebird, and Yaffil database servers.
• PostgreSQL - provider for PostgreSQL.
