Hi All,
We currently uses an ODBC DSN connection to either Oracle 11g or SQL Server 2008 for our classic client/server application.
We connect using:
DBMS=ODBC
DbParm=Connectstring='DSN=<MyDSN>; UID=<MyUid>; PWD=<MyPwd>', DelimitIdentifier='No', CommitOnDisconnect='No', DisableBind=1,
PBCATALOGOWNER='dbo'
<MyDSN> may be Oracle or SQL Server.
For Oracle we use the Oracle ODBC Driver: "Oracle in OraClient 11g_home1" ver 11.02.00.01
For SQL Server we use the Microsoft ODBC Driver: "SQL Server" ver 6.02.9200.16384
Question:In order to boost performance (fastest traffic on the LAN/WAN) what connection technology(s) should we explore?
I get the impression that Native Oracle is the fastest if we are using Oracle. Is this correct? How much faster than Oracle ODBC?
Microsoft SQL Server went from native to OLE DB. My tests using OLE DB show it is at least 30% slower than ODBC on my in-office LAN. My test of SNC OLE DB shows a similar speed to OLE DB. Now I read that Microsoft is deprecating OLE DB in favor of ODBC. I know nothing about ADO.NET or other technologies. I look for guidance.
All comments/suggestions welcome.
TIA
Larry Peters
