Heh... turns out Apple's ODBC Administrator utility doesn't do a darn thing. I went in and edited the odbc.ini file that the ODBC Administrator should be using; however, the ODBC Administrator doesn't apply changes to the odbc.ini file, and it doesn't even read them back! However, my Cocoa application was able to successfully connect to my MySQL database once I copied the contents of the odbc.ini file from MyODBC (for MySQL).

Now I don't mind doing that, but what's the deal giving us a nice GUI application that does nothing besides trick us into thinking it does something? It took me 2 hours to finally find someone who explained that ODBC Administrator doesn't do anything and that anyone would be better off editing odbc.ini by hand. And indeed, one copy/paste later, I was connected to my database.

You wouldn't happen to know a good resource on using iODBC for the Mac, would you? My code is failing to connect to the database.

Sorry, no. Try using one of these mailing lists: <http://www.iodbc.org/index.php?page=maillists>
