RE: ColdFusion FAQ
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, all. According to Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/data), ODBC is in "Quick-Fix Engineering" mode...meaning that only fixes for serious bugs are being introduced into the standard. OLE-DB is their preferred method for accessing SQL Server datasources (and is probably as close to a "native driver" as you can get). On a side note, we've had mixed success implementing OLE-DB datasources that point to SQL Server in Cold Fusion, so ODBC datasources are still with us; but going forward, OLE-DB is a good technology choice. More of SQL's advanced features are available in OLE-DB. In our limited performance comparisons, OLE-DB is only about 5-10% faster than ODBC for straight DML (i.e no crazy hierarchical joins or even crazier DDL statements). Hope this helps!
