Reading Strings into the OLE DB Provider
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at Reading Strings into the OLE DB Provider.
The RMyProviderRowset::Execute function opens a file and reads strings. The consumer passes the file name to the provider by calling ICommandText::SetCommandText. The provider receives the file name and stores it in the member variable m_szCommandText. Execute reads the file name from m_szCommandText. If the file name is invalid or the file is unavailable, Execute returns an error. Otherwise, it opens the file and calls fgets to retrieve the strings. For each set of strings it reads, Execute creates an instance of the user record (CAgentMan) and places it into an array.
If the file cannot be opened, Execute must return DB_E_NOTABLE. If it returns E_FAIL instead, the provider will not work with many consumers and will not pass the OLE DB conformance tests.
Example
Description
The edited Execute function looks like this:
