The TSM ODBC driver is available only for Windows. At this time, there are
no plans to port it to other platforms. However, I have heard others on
this forum ask about other platforms, so my advice would be that anyone
interested in this should open up a requirement.
As to whether the ODBC driver can be used by MySQL (on Windows), I don't
know. I am not overly familiar with MySQL, but one time I did install it
to see if it could be used with TSM. Unfortunately I was unable to locate
any facility within MySQL that allowed it to import data from another
database via ODBC. If such a facility exists, then I imagine it should be
usable with the TSM ODBC driver.
