RE: What is the difference between connecting to RDBMS...
ODBC is an open standard for software providers to follow when creating an intermidate layer between the database and the application using the database. Having open standards usually means that different applications can write their code the same way no matter which database they are using as long as that database comes with an ODBC driver.In contrast native drivers are built with one specific database in mind. Thus applications written to use the native driver will only work with one particular database. You will lose flexibility in your code's ability to switch database vendors but you might gain performance enhancements due to the fact that the driver is custom made for the database and may be able to take advantage of an insider's view of the database software.
