There are three levels really to ODBC:

    1. The "ODBC adapter" (such as mxODBC, etc)
    2. The manager (such as iODBC)
    3. The database driver (such as Oracle, etc.)

At least this has been my understanding I've been operating under.  I just
looked at iODBC, and I don't see anything in it to let it talk to say,
Microsoft SQL Server (an ODBC only database, unless you know that it's
really only Sybase underneath :-).  How would I do this?
