Which is better ODBC or JDBC

dear all,
after upgrading most of our servers from cf5 to CFMX7.1, it is now time to start working on some performance strategies for the upgrades. currently we went with the ODBC connector in CFMX for testing purposes. one of our server will occasionally lose the odbc and we have to reboot the server to get it rolling again.

this leads up to the question of which is better for performace (speed, less process inducive) and realiability. ODBC or JDBC with CFMX7.1
thanx

I would concur ... as CF is java based, it will run better with JDBC rather than having to interpret a bridge between the 2.

There are a couple of very remote instances where ODBC may be required, but you will have much better results with JDBC.
