It's a Microsoft wrapper for ODBC designed to simplify it and additionally
support things that aren't relational databases, like spreadsheets.
They did deprecate it and recommended ODBC for talking to SQL Server going

type cursor but an ole-db object with properties/methods something like
next() previous() etc. - you were compelled to use it for js/vb web
queries but I never found it as easy to use as a cursor.
