A quote from Tilghman Lesher from a previous post.

"That's fine, but I have had the most horrid results using any distribution-
supplied ODBC drivers.  The best results are obtained by source-compiling
the latest ODBC drivers, whether they be the MySQL ODBC Connector 3.51 or
PsqlODBC.  UnixODBC is fairly safe to use from distribution channels, however."
