 VB 5.0 vs Delphi 3.0

Hi,

Can anyone clarify at whar extent is delphi 3.0 faster or not than visual
basic, particuraly regarding acces to MS Access databases. I am assuming
that VB uses the DAO model and Delphi is using BDE with the native drivers.
i.e no ODBS involved.

I'm not 100% positive, but I'm about 95% sure that Delphi 3.x goes through
ODBC.  It does not go through the BDE to get to ODBC.  It accesses ODBC
natively (You could remove the BDE and still access anything through ODBC).

BDE-versions from 4.x have native MSACCESS drivers.
The speed is O.K., but why do you use Access for Databases...?

Because Access MDB files are simply files. It takes an engine to
manipulate them, such as JET. Only someone hampered by lack
of experience or bungling management directives would use ODBC
against Access for any commercial software.
