iODBC.org has Mac OS X support in Version 3.0.6 of its iODBC (independent
Open Database Connectivity) development release, an open-source,
platform-independent implementation of both the ODBC and X/Open

support to its ODBC drivers for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase and MS
SQLServer, with Oracle drivers to follow in a few weeks.
