We use a simple native ADO ODBC connection to our Oracle RDBMS systems, for
internal VB development work. It's quite simple and the ADO methodology is
very good and allows us to bind fields directly to the database for quick
data entry forms/screens. Of course VB is not a 4GL, it does lend itself to
been "event driven" and we've found it to be very effective to marry legacy
databases with more modern Windows environments and applications (ie: Adobe,
Crystal Reports, etc).
