Subject: DB Question


I dont know if you are the correct person to contact or not, but please
direct me to the right place 
if this is not. 
 
I have Dev Trietsch's book Visual Basic Oracle 8. In there he states that
the OLE DB driver from Microsoft is
more stable than the one from Oracle. Also, that the ODBC driver from
Miscroft is also more stable thena othe one from 
Oracle. Also that there are more "features" in the ODBC driver than there
are in the OLD DB driver. 
 
What are the features that ODBC provides that aren't in OLEDB. 
Also, is the stability factor still the same, or have the new drivers from
Oracle and Miscrosoft altered that viewpoint. 
 
 
Thanks for your time.
