Verified

In terms of usage, there is no difference between SqlClient  a ndOLEDB Provider. Difference lies in the performance. SqlClient is explicitly used to connect application to SQL server directly, where as OLEDB Provider is generic for a variety of databases, like Oracle and Access and also SQL Server.
As a result there will be overhead that leads to performance degradation.
