Data processing extensions in [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] enable you to connect to a data source and retrieve data. They also serve as a bridge between a data source and a dataset. [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] data processing extensions are modeled after a subset of the [!INCLUDEmsCoName] [!INCLUDEdnprdnshort] data provider interfaces.
