Jean,

There are two main ways to add your provider:

1) Add the registration call in ogr/ogrsf_frmts/generic/ogrregisterall.cpp,
    and then all utilities and also the OLEDB provider will "see" your provider.

2) Modify the sfregister.cpp file in the softmap directory to call your
    registration function after (or instead of) OGRRegisterAll().

Best regards,
