Re: Performance of ODBC vs. other access methods

In my experience, ODBC is *NOT a good performer. Even IBM will tell you 
this. I once had a client that had to upgrade to a bigger, faster machine 
because they were talked into using Oracle Reports as a means of 
duplicating what they had when they migrated from a DEC system to an 
AS/400. Of course, the machine their BP sold them was undersized to begin 
with.

Even after their machine upgrade, they were not satisfied with the ODBC 
stuff. I was able to duplicate the ODBC reports with SEQUEL in about 2 
weeks, and the reports began printing in several seconds compared to 
several minutes.
