The OLE DB specification lets data providers implement provider-specific properties. These properties let the programmer have access to functionality that is outside the boundaries of the OLE DB specification. The OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Compact 3.5 exposes the following properties:

• Provider-Specific Properties (OLE DB)

• Column Properties (OLE DB)

• Data Source Information Properties (OLE DB)

• Index Properties (OLE DB)

• Initialization Properties (OLE DB)

• Rowset Properties (OLE DB)
