What MDAC version are you running and what Oracle client version?  

If you are using a 10 client try the same thing with a 9206 client, I have seen a rounding issue in an early version of the 10 client with ODBC, It could have been the MDAC or even the VB code using it that was the culprit, but teh customer resolved it by changing back to a 9206.  

Worth a try to isolate your issue  

Cheers

How are you determining the ODBC and SQL*PLUS explain plans?

	Hi Allan,
	 
	We are connecting to the same Oracle user, so it's the same
database, same schema, same statistics, same triggers, etc.
	The only difference is for one, we are using SQLPlus, for the
other, it's through ODBC.
	 
	Thanks

		Hi DBAs,
		 
		We are testing our application (Fox Pro using ODBC) on a
brang new server with Oracle10g (10.2).
		We having some performance problems regarding some SQL
statement.
		 
		The problem is:  With the same SQL, one executing in
SQLPlus and the same SQL executing through ODBC, we getting 2 different
explain plan.
		 
		With SQLPlus we have the proper one
