What's the prevailing wisdom backed up by real world experience when
using ODBC from whatever tool or programming language to access DB2/400
or ORACLE versus using some other remote or distributed access method
such as DRDA, calls to stored procedures or API calls?   I've been told
that ODBC is a good performer but have my doubts.

What's your experience show vs Ivory Tower tests?

Thanks in advance,

Dave
