Mercury LoadRunner

I am using MS SQL 2005. I am working with a consultant to load test my app.
I heard rumors that Mercury LoadRunner can't perform load testing on an app
that uses ADO/OLE DB.
Has anyone tried this? If so, do you have any links that I can look at?
Why would the app testing the app care what the app uses behind the scenes
to connect to the database? Should be completely transparent to the testing
app.

This is what I thought, but it supposedly traps the low level calls (DB
Calls) so the UI doesn't need to be opened. They are trying to see what
happens to the database server when 3500 users are hitting it from my app.
They record the calls, then replicate those calls over and over again.
