Not quite true. ADO is designed so that it can use ODBC internally, or a
different technology called OLEDB. OLEDB is faster than ODBC. See the
benchmark link i gave below.

This communications is faster than using ODBC but it is not as easy moving
to other databases as it would be using ODBC, RDO or ADO (or whatever
Microsoft is adding on top of ODBC)

Re: [PHP-DB] What PHP4 use for connection to MSSQL?

2001-04-17 Thread Frank M. Kromann

ODBC and ADO uses the same type of connection. In fact you need an ODBC DSN to connect 
to a database using ADO.

The MSSQL functions in PHP uses a native communication with the database. This 
communications is faster than using ODBC but it is not as easy moving to other 
databases as it would be using ODBC, RDO or ADO (or whatever Microsoft is adding on 
top of ODBC)

For some examples of connecting PHP to ODBC, visit
http://php.weblogs.com/odbc

As to speed, definitely MSSQL using PHP is very fast. See some benchmarks:
http://php.weblogs.com/adodb_benchmarks

Try the ADODB database wrapper library also. It's ADO for PHP!
