The CData ADO.NET Provider for eBay models entities in the eBay API as tables, views, and stored procedures. These are defined in schema files, which are simple, text-based configuration files.

API limitations and requirements are documented in this section; you can use the SupportEnhancedSQL feature, set by default, to circumvent most of these limitations.

Note: If you're using the Auth'n'Auth authentication scheme, there are some tables and views you cannot access. See AuthNAuth Limitations for a list of these limitations.
