In the Binder Programming and Object Model, the stream programming task is represented by the stream object. A stream object is an OLE DB object that encapsulates the contents of files, e-mail messages, or other stream-based objects.
A stream is data treated purely as a series of bytes, without any interpretation of their meaning. A stream could contain the text in an e-mail message, data in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file, or a command and its parameters.
Two interfaces enable streams to be read or written either in a forward-only fashion or at any point in the stream.
