The API provides a set of interfaces implemented using the Component Object Model (COM); it is otherwise unrelated to OLE .
However, because different data store technology can have different capabilities, OLE DB providers may not implement every possible interface available. The capabilities that are available are implemented through the use of COM objects – an OLE DB provider will map the data store technology's functionality to a particular COM interface.
If an application wishes to persist several data objects to a file, one way to do so would be to open an IStorage that represents the contents of that file and save each of the objects within a single IStream. One way to accomplish the latter is through the standard COM interface IPersistStream. OLE depends heavily on this model to embed ...
