I can't comment on which is "better", but if you use VB, I recommend using RDO (Remote Data Objects). RDO is much faster than the DAO data objects. DAO uses the JET engine, which slows things down quite a bit. RDO takes you directly to ODBC, and is faster.

You couldn't really develop an application in SQL*Plus, though I have written some fairly complex scripts. SQL*Plus is an ad-hoc query tool.
