I wrote the article about a month ago, so I knew that MySql 5 was coming out, but I guess it was pretty good timing :) Everything that I've read says that ODBC is slower than a native connection and the logic for it makes sense, that ODBC is designed to connect to many different sources, and the native connection "speaks" MySql's language only. If you haven't looked at the MySql Connector source code, I would highly recommend it, its a great learning experience Sam, thanks for the comment!

I realize that probably happened after you submitted the article, but just in case. ;-) Anyways, nice article! Congratulations! I've just started with MySQL. Haven't done anything with it yet to be honest. But are you sure ODBC is slower? I'm just getting into how database drivers work (at the socket level), and I've read that sqloledb is built on top of odbc. I've also read what you wrote before. Who's right, and if sqloledb isn't just a friendlier API built on top of an underlying odbc connection, just what is it that seperates them? Do you know? Are there specs out there for what goes over the socket so I can write my own non-ADO implementation of sqloledb? Just curious. Anyways, great article!
