User Filter Example - Database

Introduction

This project shows an example of using User Filters to provide access to a Microsoft Access MDB database file.

In this example, three user filters are created:

  • DB_Write - which writes data to a database,
  • DB_Read - which allows to retrieve data from a database,
  • DB_Query - which performs custom SQL queries on a database.

Hints:

  1. Running this example with x64-bit Studio requires installing Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable x64

    Note If Office 365 is already installed, side-by-side detection will prevent the installation from proceeding. To install the package, perform a quiet installation by running a command such as the following:

    <File location>:\<File name> /quiet

For example: C:\AccessDatabaseEngine.exe /quiet

  2. To verify which ODCB driver is installed, you can use "ODBC Data Sources" (odbcad32.exe) application. Please notice that this application can be executed in 32 and 64 bit mode.

  3. To build the example user filter, Microsoft Visual Studio is required.

  4. Some problems may occur when Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable is installed. It can be fixed by downgrading to an earlier version.
