Performance of ODBC vs. other access methods; also security

Vern,

BTW, I was not able to get into the COMMON presentations you quoted
when responding to Paul as they require a userid and password to the IBM
site.  If the presentations did a good feature/function comparisons
between ODBC and other access methods, then I'd like to see them but if
they just said "God, er, I mean ODBC, is great", then no thanks.

Besides some implementations of ODBC being slower than native access
methods, I understand the real weakness of ODBC over the others is
security.  What's the prevailing opinion on that?

Any other gotchas?

Thanks,

Dave
