About the OLE DB provider

The Historian OLE DB provider is a data access mechanism that allows you to query Historian product data using Structured Query Language (SQL) statements or other client reporting tools.

The Historian OLE DB provider gives regulated industries the ability to create reports using applications such as Seagate® Crystal Reports™. It also allows current Historian product users to integrate with other databases such as SQL Server, and other third party OLE DB-compliant applications.

The OLE DB provider has read-only access. You cannot insert, update, or delete data in archives using the OLE DB provider.
