question before i buy (ADO vs ODBC)

[shutterstock]

is the ADO component that core labs provides a lot faster than the OdbcOnnection MyODBC component that i can get from mysql.com ?

ADO has less abstraction between the app and the DB than ODBC does?

thanks!

By our performance tests MySQLDirect .NET has better results than MyODBC.

MySQLDirect .NET interacts with MySQL Server directly, so there is no abstraction between our provider and MySQL Server in direct mode.
