Re: database connection (odbc vs native)

ODBC goes through the sqlnet layer ( the exception is if a vendor, and there are some, builds their own middleware).

You can use the Oracle's OLE objects in VC and it does allow performance improvement over ODBC ADO, DAO etc. if you use it well. The syntax is DAO'ish.
