[AccessD] Which SQL engines support SHAPE?

Gustav,

I believe Shape is an ADO object introduced in ADO 2.0.  Here's some info from help but it looks like it might work with any OLEDB compatible data source.

<help snip>
The Microsoft Data Shaping Service for OLE DB service provider supports the construction of hierarchical (shaped) Recordset objects from one or more data providers.

Provider Keyword

To invoke the Data Shaping Service for OLE DB, specify the following keyword and value in the connection string.

"Provider=MSDataShape"


</help snip>

HTH,

Hi all

Is SHAPE (returning sub recordsets within a recordset) in SQL
proprietary of Microsoft SQL Server? 

Or do some other SQL engines support this too?
