>I have used the MS Driver for Oracle almost exclusively now for 2 years. I have yet to come across a problem I could not resolve or work around. I had such a bad initial experience with the Oracle drivers with respect to MS front-end products, that I have used the MS drivers ever since. Maybe the Oracle drivers have improved significantly. A little experimentation may now be warranted. It is just hard to do when what you currently use works fine.

Actually, I should clarify. I've not been able to get the Microsoft Oracle ODBC driver to work on NT machines. I haven't had time to troubleshoot the TNS errors it gives yet. On Win9x machines it works fine.

On my informal testing, the Microsoft drivers are about 4x as fast. Pulling 10,000 records from a table takes 26.72 seconds using the Oracle drivers and 6.87 seconds using MS drivers. So, once I can resolve the NT issues I'll be switching.
