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!

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). Adding to this, OLE DB isn't always faster for normal queries either - we dropped it in favor of ODBC as the ODBC queries were (slightly) faster for standard requests as well as for more complex queries Also, as a side note on OLE DB, you (obviously) can't use CreateODBCDate() and CreateODBCDateTime() for specifying dates, so you have to "natively" format the dates within your SQL On another note about ODBC, NT does slow down if you have a lot of ODBC DSNs setup - it tends to be logarithmic, so try to keep them not too numerous (even though this does become a little impossible at times) Philip Arnold Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited T: +44 (0)20 8680 1133 "Websites for the real world" ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
