If you find a legitimate bug in SQL Server, you can open a support ticket, and Microsoft will fix it. Frequently these fixes will make it into the next service pack, or if they're severe, a Windows update. This is all at no (extra) cost to you.
In speed tests I've seen using ODBC be as much as 10x slower than npgsql in talking to PostgreSQL. I didn't look into why, and just used ADO.Net.
- dfranke 19y agoI don't think I ever encountered a bug for which I'd be able to write a coherent support ticket. They tended to be horrendous mandelbugs that were difficult to reliably reproduce due to caching. If it were an open source project then I could have at least set some watchpoints and sent a useful backtrace, but with closed source, SOL.
