They are functionally identical. DatabaseFactory just turns around and calls the first line.

The DatabaseFactory is part of the older API based around static facades that Entlib is moving away from. The call to EnterpriseLibraryContainer is more future proof, and it has the advantage of being a single entry point that works regardless of which block you're using.
