If you're using VB(I assume), there are other considerations such as the MS
JET engine. The VB/ODBC/JET combination does(from my experience) generate
extra traffic, but I wouldn't say that that is it's only drawback. Try
using synonyms/column aliases/views and other features normally used with
and RDBMS....
