I'm also watching out for ODBC connectivity. In this context
I saved a posting from a mailing list recently. Maybe this is
of interest, though it may not exactly be what you are 
looking for.

|Title:          iODBC Driver Manager
|
|Version:        2.00.beta
|
|Description:    iODBC (intrinsic Open Database Connectivity) driver manager
|                is compatible with ODBC 2.0 specification and performs exactly
|                same jobs of ODBC 2.0 driver manager(i.e driver loading, 
|                parameters and function sequence checking, driver's function 
|                invoking, etc.). Any ODBC driver works with ODBC 2.0 driver 
|                manager will also work with iODBC driver manager and vice versa.
| 
|                Applications(which using ODBC function calls) linked with 
|                iODBC driver manager will be able to concurrently access 
|                different data sources through suitable ODBC drivers. See
|                README file for detail.
