- To connect to any DBMS different from SQL server 2000, Access, Excel, Text files, you will need the corresponding client software complete with OleDb provider. It can be found usually on the same DVD of the main product (see: client software). For several products, such as Oracle, DB2, Postgres, Visual Fox Pro, SQL Server 2005, etc. client software is also available as free download. When you install the client make sure that OleDb drivers are selected for install, or else you will not be able to connect to the DBMS.
