Why do you want to link the driver directly to your application? In principle this is possible, but using the driver manager it is more flexible. Furthermore the driver manager needs only less resources so that you cannot expect a notable performance boost by linking statically. We do not distribute a statically ODBC driver on Windows, since there always a driver manager is available (which is not the case for Unix systems, where libsqlod.a is present. However, unixODBC and iODBC are very fine products and it pays of to install them, if you want easily use different ODBC drivers or update existing ones). If you compile the SAP DB software on your machine look in the directory sys/wrk/fast/obj for sqlod32.rel.o. This is the object file of the ODBC driver that could be used for linking.
