Universal Data Access (UDA) is Microsoft's model or framework for a single uniform application program interface to different software makers' databases, both relational and nonrelational. UDA is the database access part of Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM), an overall framework for creating and distributing object-oriented programming programs in a network.

IBM, Oracle, and other companies have provided database bridges that interface with OLE DB.
