There can be several factors that contribute to the slow performance of a system. In this section, we are trying to focus on some of the basic elements.
In Microsoft Dynamics NAV Version 2009 and earlier, Dynamics NAV was used for Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) as an API to connect to the database. But thereafter, it has implemented the ADO.NET API to interface with the SQL Server. There are many advantages of using ADO.NET over ODBC. We shall discuss them briefly.
ADO.NET and ODBC are both Microsoft Standard Application programming interfaces. ADO.NET is quicker and gives flexibility in its setup in comparison to its counterpart, ODBC. Here are some of the benefits of using ADO.NET over ODBC:
Simple setup
Better compatibility with the Windows server
Resource-efficient
Better caching
Better performance
