------
Definitely, SQL-links are _native_ drivers, never seen something as slow 
as ODBC but some companies seem to make decent drivers even if never as 
fast as native.

----
ODBC drivers are sometimes flaky, old, or not everything implemented, but 
you should get them for any rare fileformat.

----
More or less the same, you have to use an database alias.
