How does OO4O compare to ODBC?

OO4O provides native access to Oracle and only Oracle databases, and is thus faster than ODBC access. ODBC is more generic and not database specific at all. One can use ODBC to connect to databases like Oracle, DB/2, SQLServer, etc. For more information about ODBC, read the ODBC FAQ.

OO4O closely follows the ODBC query interface model, one can retain over 95% code compatibility between the OO4O and ODBC versions of data layer procedures. This translates to very short retooling times when porting between OO4O and ODBC.
