You didn't say which database system you want a driver for. An ODBC driver is a bridge between the ODBC generic API and a particular vendor's proprietary interface. There is another component, the ODBC Driver Manager, which sits between the driver and the application program. Last I heard Visigenic had the exclusive license for all non-Microsoft platforms for this piece. You might want to check out www.visigenic.com.
