Comment (by pierre.labastie):
ODBC is an API to access databases. We only build the library, but not the
database drivers (sorry for using backend above, the right word is
driver). Actually, I am not completely sure the postgresql driver is not
built. Anyway, UnixODBC is enough to build packages which require ODBC
(such as libreoffice), but without driver, it is an "empty shell".
Many drivers are third party packages, sometimes with non FOSS licences.
See http://www.unixodbc.org/drivers.html. We could investigate the
possibility of building (or using) the postgresql driver, but I am still
wondering whether it is worth it. Did somebody ever ask about ODBC on the
mailing lists?
Maybe not a good answer to (quoting comment:12) "Do we need to open a
ticket for unixodbc?". Sorry.
