I have come from a firm where it was common to embed sql into their inhouse VB app's. My new work has used stored procedures for every database function the app has to do leading to nearly a hundred sproc's in per database! My question is this: What is the industry standard considering this is a mid-sized firm (500 users), COM is not really used but may be a good option. The SQL Servers are stable and unlikely to change names etc. All opinions (even those biased towards VB) are greatly appreciated. Personally I lean towards COM with ADO Prepare statements.
Thanks!
Thanks!
