iODBC*.Framework
You'll need to download the SDK from http://www.iodbc.org/ or
http://www.openlinksw.com/, because Apple only builds the older-
style /usr/lib/libodbc*.dylibs into Darwin and Mac OS X, but the
Frameworks are still covered by LGPL and BSD licenses.
ODBC drivers are available from OpenLink and other vendors, for
MySQL, PostgreSQL, and most other database backends. Depending
on the feature set and performance you need, you may be satisfied
with the free drivers, or you may need something more robust which
does cost money for licensure.
You can grab OpenLink ODBC Test from the website, too, which may
help you in evaluating features and performance of the various
drivers available. This GPLed project was inspired by and based
on the TPC-A and TPC-C benchmark suites, and enables oranges-to-
oranges comparisons of ODBC drivers, DSNs, operating systems,
DBMS, network architecture, and more. As open source, all tests
are visible, so you can be sure that no driver is given unfair
advantage, and you can extend them to test for the features that
matter to you, if the pre-defined tests aren't sufficient for
your needs.
Be seeing you,
Ted
