Remarks

A SQL workspace is a relational database that may or may not be a geodatabase. After creating a workspace with the SqlWorkspaceFactory class (and the IWorkspaceFactory interface), this interface is used to retrieve data in a read-only manner as query classes and query cursors. Query classes can be used much like tables or feature classes from other data sources; through ArcMap, they are exposed as "Query Layers".
