Running With Exchange Server

Before attempting to connect and query a Ms. Exchange Server, some study and research is recommended. Although it is, technically, a database server, it is a database server only in the sense that any lump of data with a means of accessing it can be called a database server. It might more appropriately be referred to as a data source because it is so deviant.

The industry standard ODBC connection cannot be used to access it. Only an OLEDB connection can be used to connect to it. The data socket that must be on the client computer is the ExOLEDB provider.

The SQL syntax used by Ms. Exchange Server is too deviant to be referred to as a SQL dialect. The user must be familiar with it. It would be nonsensical to even include it as a dialect in CoreReader.
