Manual Protocol Driver Selection

If a client using the OLE DB Provider for Internet Publishing sets the DBPROP_INIT_PROTOCOLPROVIDER property before initializing a data source object or before binding using IBindResource::Bind method, the OLE DB Provider will use the protocol driver indicated in the property. If this property is not set, the OLE DB Provider will make the determination automatically as described in the following sections.

No association is cached between the URL and protocol driver when the client sets this property, and all existing cache entries are ignored.
