Hi All.

I'm very new to this, so I'm after a bit of advice.

It is my understanding that there are a number of ways to connect and
query a database.

Could someone please advise what the preferred methods are and wheat the
pros and cons are for each method.

For example, I believe you can connect to a db using odbc but at a cost
to performance. Is that right?

Are there limits to the number of concurrent users before a performance
hit is noticed?

Can you suggest a good online tutorial for db connectivity?

Many thanks in advance ...
