The problem is that it's another layer of software that you have to go through 
on the client side.  I'm not exactly sure what happens inside the ODBC layer, 
but the developers here have recorded delays of from 1 to 60 seconds.  Data 
mapping appears to be the issue, and the more columns there are the worse it 
gets.  BTW: the same query run through SQL*Plus, Pro*C, or OCI is sub second in 
it's reply.

Can someone please expand on why using ODBC to query an Oracle database is not 
good in terms of performance?

Mix is MS Access 97 and ODBC to Oracle 8174

Thanks
