Dblink versus odbc

2003-12-02 Thread Paulo Gomes
Hi guys
Have a request here. My management wants to know the advantage of using
dblink instead of odbc.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Can't compare apples and oranges.
ODBC is for client-database connections, dblink is for database-database
connections.

RE: Dblink versus odbc

2003-12-02 Thread Reardon, Bruce (CALBBAY)
They may be a bit more comparable than that.

a dblink can utilise ODBC (via HS ODBC) to connect to non-Oracle databases (or to 
Oracle databases if you really wanted to).

ODBC can be used by client but also by server via HSODBC.
ODBC can also be used by a non Oracle server (eg SQL Server) to connect back to an 
Oracle database.

So ask your manager for more information on why they want to compare the two.

HTH,
