Not a very scientific counter-example, but we tested 2 'Create Table ... With Data' statements via a DTS package on SQLServer2K with the
ODC and OLE DB drivers. They weren't large tables (about 42k rows), but the process using ODBC (v. 2.08.02) took about 1.5 hours, while the
same process using OLE DB (Release 1.0) took just under 1 hour.

Same here, in addition to the DTS example above, we've tested various Web apps with OLE DB and ADO and didn't get any errors.

OLE DB provider. | |
Take a look at NCR's documentation for the OLE DB Provider, around page 2-31. The Default Database is set in the Provider String.
Hope this helps.
