Database Application VC++ or vb6..?

My question is different from this forum.Actually i need your kind guidence & hope that u will do.
I have a good knowledge of VB6 especially in database. Iam interested to develop the same database application using Microsoft Visual C ++but many people say that database development in VC++ is so much hard & time consuming as compaired to VB6.
According tothem that VC++ is mostly us to develop DLL files & continue your development in VB6 because it offer ADO technologies which enhance Database speed in the Application.
What is your own opinion about developing database appication if some one use VC++ instead VB6.
Thanks for your suggesions.
