I keep hearing this but don't understand the overlooking of Solid.  The
ZODBCDA recompiled w/o changes for the Solid SQL DB under Linux.
Solid isn't free or even cheap, and many disagree with their radical
shift in marketing this past year (small developers -> big $$$ developers)
but it does exist and it is ODBC compliant.  Their manuals are a defacto
ODBC reference work.
