The server presents a number of object types to client applications as if they were local tables. Supported object types are:
table – the object in a remote server of any class is a relational table. This is the default type.
view – the object in a remote server of any class is a view. Component Integration Services treats views as if they were local tables without any indexes.
remote procedure – the object in a remote server of any class is a remote procedure. Component Integration Services treats the result set from the remote procedure as a read-only table.
file – the object is an individual file within a file system.
directory – the object is a file system directory.
