Row Objects

OLE DB Programmer's Reference

In the Binder Programming and Object Model, the row programming task is represented by the row object. A row object is an OLE DB object that contains a set of columns of data.

A row can be created directly from the URL or from a specific row in a rowset. A row object created from a row in a rowset object contains all the columns of the row as well any additional columns appended by the provider binder.

If the row represents a container, such as a directory in a file system, the container's contents, such as files and subdirectories, can be retrieved as a row or rowset object. If the row represents contents, such as a file, the contents can be retrieved as a stream object.

A row object is different from a rowset object consisting of a single row because the objects have different interface methods.
