MS SQL Server MFC DAO classes and MFC ODBC classes: Which class set do I use?
This article describes in detail how Microsoft Jet uses ODBC to retrieve server data. This is an essential read for all who write important server applications with DAO.
"Odbc:architecture,performance,and Tuning", Author: Lambert, Colleen.
This white paper provides a good overview of how ODBC works and describes performance issues in a realistic and useful way.

Conclusion
The basic concepts of MFC, which provide high-level abstractions for more complex technologies, are achievable in these database classes. You can choose either ODBC or DAO to get the best possible path for the client to succeed.
We've spent quite a bit of time examining ways to improve performance, seeing some of the methods that are relevant to how classes are executed on many data sources, and asking you a number of questions to consider. Whatever you do, keep your prototypes before you make your decision. We hope that today's meeting will help you narrow your choices and make your decisions easier to implement.
