[AccessD] Could somebody expand on this a little?

Pass-through queries have terrible performance especially if you are trying
to access dataset (recordsets).

Jim,

Very interesting.  I noted that you and at least one other respondent
mentioned pass-through queries as good performance options.

What's puzzling to me, also, is a comment made to the article by
Warren ( here's the link: 
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/awarren/linkingaccesstosqlserver.
asp
):

"Performance can really suck, depending on the application and the
bandwidth. It has to do with the way data is cached in Access and
becomes very apparent if you have large tables (>100,000 rows).
However, it doesn't justify pass-through queries (obsolutely NOTHING
justifies pass-through queries). Views (in SQL server) are your
friend."

"NOTHING justifies pass-through queries."  I didn't challenge him on
that.  I should have, I suppose, but I know zip about pass-through
queries.  What's your view?
