What kind of software does the Historian OLE DB Provider interact with?

The Historian OLE DB Provider is specifically designed to facilitate interaction between the AVEVA Historian and database management systems. This provider allows applications that utilize OLE DB technology to query and manipulate data stored in the Historian, enabling users to access historical process data efficiently.

By using the OLE DB Provider, database management systems can integrate with the Historian, allowing for seamless data retrieval and interaction. This capability is crucial for reporting, analytics, and data management tasks that require fetching historical information for further analysis or operational needs.

The other options are not suitable in this context. Web-based interfaces are primarily about user interaction rather than direct database access. Graphical user interface tools may present data visually but do not directly manage or interact with the underlying data layer. Programming environments can utilize the OLE DB Provider, but they serve as platforms for application development rather than as the specific target of interaction. Thus, the OLE DB Provider's main purpose is to bridge the communication between the Historian and database management systems.
