        Let's keep it simple first. Go with a generic dbODBC.py, and make it 
specific to MSSQL. Once that's working, see what would be involved in adding 
support for VFP (or some other ODBC backend). If there is more involved than 
handling a few differences in code it might be good to get more granular than 
that, but we'll still need an ODBC superclass to handle the common code, which 
is what we're doing with the other servers you mention. We have the dBackend 
class that holds all the common behavior, and when a specific backend deviates 
from that, we break that code into the subclass for that server type.
