Actually, it have been deprecated for longer than so. With these interfaces
you don't have full support for features added to SQL7 and SQL 2000.

The best interface for C++ programming is probably ODBC. OLE DB is an
alternative, but it's more cumbersome to use, no matter if you use the
raw interface or the consumer templates.
