Hi,
A colleague just asked me a question regarding ODBC ...
Question:
If ODBC is considered to be so great now (as opposed to a couple of years
ago), why do we use the Oracle/AS400 dataservers etc? Isn't it possible to
to access those DBs (and others) from Progress via ODBC?
Has anyone any thoughts on this? Does it make sense? Is it even possible?
If it is possible, do the cost savings benefits of going to ODBC outweigh
the performance risks not using the DataServers?
TIA,
Gord
