General

It is possible to access some resources without writing any line of code. All you need is to write a query which makes use of ISAM OLEDB (see the Overview provided by Microsoft).

The ISAM OLEDB type must be put in square brackets and and with a semicolon like in this example for an Microsoft Excel workbook:

SELECT *
  FROM [...] 
    IN '...'[EXCEL 8.0;];

If you need to specify optional parameters they have to be appended to the ISAM type:

SELECT *
  FROM [...] 
    IN '...'[EXCEL 8.0;HDR=yes;IMEX=0;];
