Connecting to oracle via ODBS & ADO - Why so slow?

Please help

I'm connecting to an oracle database via ODBC and ADO. I'm
populating a DB Grid using a query based on the boundtext
of a datalist. The datalist's recordsource is an Adodc data
control.

This works fine but the problem is it is
so slow. I'm only using a test database with a couple of
records in each table so the lack of speed must be due to
the way i'm connecting.


Any ideas?

Dim conn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim Cmd As New ADODB.Command
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset

dgdContract.Visible = True

conn.Open "dsn=dsn;pwd=pwd"
Set Cmd.ActiveConnection = conn
Cmd.CommandType = adCmdText
Cmd.CommandText = "SELECT a.name as AccountManager" _
& ",c.startdate AS StartDate,c.paymentschedule as Frequency" _
& ",c.contractid as hidethis " _
& " FROM accmanager a, contract c" _
& " WHERE a.accmanagerid = c.accmanagerid AND " _
& "c.clientid=" & dblClient.BoundText

MyClientID = dblClient.BoundText


rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rs.Open Cmd, , adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
Set dgdContract.DataSource = rs
dgdContract.ReBind

Sorry - still got the shakes this morning i meant ODBC not ODBS!

If you are using ADO, why use ODBC? You can establish a DSN-less connection using ADO.

If that does not solve the speed problem, check for your network speed, whether you are using server-side recordsets or client-side recordsets etc.
