About the DataWindow Designer ADO.NET database interface

You can use the DataWindow Designer ADO.NET database interface to connect to a data source such as Adaptive Server® Enterprise, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server, as well as to data sources exposed through OLE DB and XML, in much the same way as you use the DataWindow Designer ODBC and OLE DB database interfaces.

Performance You might experience better performance if you use a native database interface. The primary purpose of the ADO.NET interface is to support shared connections with other database constructs such as the .NET DataGrid in Sybase DataWindow .NET.
