Root Binder Objects

In the Binder Programming and Object Model, the root binder task is represented by the root binder object. The root binder object is an OLE DB object that oversees the direct binding process and manages the mapping of URL namespaces to OLE DB providers.

The root binder object searches the system registry for the provider binder best able to process the given URL, instantiates it, and then delegates the remaining processing to it. The function of the root binder is analogous to the enumerator in the Rowset Programming and Object Model.
