Designing Performance Optimized ODBC Applications
Developing performance-oriented ODBC applications is not easy. Microsoft's ODBC Programmer's Reference does not provide information about system performance. In addition, ODBC drivers and the ODBC driver manager do not return warnings when applications run inefficiently. However, the performance of ODBC applications can be improved by using catalog functions appropriately, retrieving only required data, selecting functions that optimize performance, and managing connections and updates.

Using ODBC with Oracle Heterogeneous Services
Heterogeneous Services and Generic Connectivity allow Oracle customers to access and integrate non-Oracle data sources, providing a wide degree of flexibility in a multi-database environment. This paper explains how to use DataDirect ODBC drivers with Oracle Heterogeneous Services for optimal connectivity and the best performance.

Using ODBC with PERL
DataDirect ODBC drivers allow PERL (Practical Extraction and Report Language) applications to be completely portable and highly scalable. This article provides information necessary for using DataDirect ODBC drivers with PERL, including configuration instructions and a sample PERL application.
