When should I use VC++ for database front ends?

[jason1972]

Hi everyone. I've been programming database front ends using Access and Visual Basic for years, and the UI seems fast enough in all my applications. So my question is: What are the circumstances when I should use VC++? I'm new to VC++ so I really want to know. Is it a lot faster when handling huge dao/ado recordsets? (I seldom handle huge recordsets anyway, since I only retrieve records / fields that are needed and update the database using SQL statements / stored procedures.) Thanks.

I am really bad at any kind of database programming, but I would say stick with VB for DB(that was a lame rhyme thing). C++ seems too complicated for DB access, its your choice of course, but if I was going to be doing any DB programming, I would use VB or PowerBuilder.
