Yes, very aware of all the "depends" but that doesn't answer my basic

questions which were:

"What's the prevailing wisdom backed up by real world experience when
using ODBC from whatever tool or programming language to access
DB2/400 or ORACLE versus using some other remote or distributed access
method
such as DRDA, calls to stored procedures or API calls?   I've been
told that ODBC is a good performer but have my doubts.

What's your experience show vs Ivory Tower tests?"

I think it does answer your question, although it isn't an answer that helps
much.

I interpret "it depends" to mean that there is no prevailing wisdom.  I give
that answer a lot of credence because it was offered by several luninaries
in the community.

Obviously, if I am interpreting incorrectly I hope someone will correct me.

Take care ...
