John, If I haven't mentioned it before it might be worth you looking at
http://hg.backslashat.org/repos/dabo-odbc/ which is contains 
a set of patchs to an ancient dabo to do this.

That's what I did locally and added a driver and dsn attribute. It was
good enough for what I needed so I haven't mantained it. But it would
probably help you in the right direction.

The  important patches are :-
http://hg.backslashat.org/repos/dabo-odbc/rev/af94151ed49a
http://hg.backslashat.org/repos/dabo-odbc/graph/aeb4a75ba49f

and
http://hg.backslashat.org/repos/dabo-odbc/rev/eb192fd4cd54

But you could just the db/dbOdbc.py from the last one and hack from
there.
