We have lots of clients who use odbc for ad hoc tools - access,excel,
foxpro,vb ...
While not quite as quick as a native tool they are ok for these
applications, however they can be really bad, like any application, with
poorly written queries (and what other kind do they ever write?).

I have been told in the past that ODBC connections to
the database are slow and very resource intensive, but
unfortunately this was not explained. Fortunately, I
haven't really had to deal with ODBC connections much.
However, in my new job, several users are using MS
Access as their query tool and it looks like the
number is growing.
So, are ODBC connections to the database really slow
and a resource problem? If so, why? Also, is there
anything special in regards to the database that I
should be watching or tuning outside of the norm just
because I have a bunch of Access users hitting the
database?
Thanks again for the assistance!
