[Zope] ODBC with Zope on SPARC platform

I need to have my Zope applications that are running
on non-Windows to be able to connect to SQL Server
databases. I've read through various documentation and
have yet to arrive at an answer to my problem.  The
mxODBC Zope DA won't work because I run Zope on
Solaris on one box and Linux on SPARC on others (the
mxODBC DA betas are for win32 or Linux i686).  I
thought about using iODBC with the mxODBC extensions
and writing my own Python methods to connect, but
couldn't get mxODBC going on Solaris.  A while back I
tried zorton's How-to on Zope.org about ZSQL Relay,
but ran into problems with that, too (may try it
again).  I can't believe I'm the only one needing to
use ODBC for non-Linux/non-Windows... does anyone have
any pointers on how to get this working?

Thanks much,
Rob
