>From the Present: "The next release of SQL Server code named Denali will be the last version supporting the OLE DB database driver. Instead, Microsoft is moving back to the ODBC database driver because they determine it to be a more transportable technology."
and from the past: "Microsoft has been heavily touting OLE DB as the successor to ODBC. At PDC 98 they went as far as to state that there would no longer be continuing to develop ODBC (they would fix problems in their drivers, as needed, but not pursue future versions of the API). They plan to invest all new development into OLE DB." A bit of a seachange what?
