ADO is nice when the backend database is a microsoft product, such as MS SQL server.
For SQL Server, I seem to get better performance than when using the BDE and SQL
links. ADO is also easier to deploy.

Some of the shortcomings of ADO include

1- conflicts between different versions

2- Doesn't offer a decent equivalent to CachedUpdates. There is an UpdateBatch mode
which works well when updating a single dataset. But the UpdateBatch mode doesn't
work very well wehn you update multiple tables from within the same transaction. It
also does not offer an equivalent of the UpdateSQL component.
