The MDAC services does contain libraries which I believe are 'leaned' on by the Witango ODBC system. I believe it could be beneficial to any system using MS's ODBC system, regardless of driver. However, the most benefit is going to be seen with MS SQL.
Also, a note of warning to everyone reading this. Updating your ODBC drivers in weird ways, getting too far out of sync with other resources of the OS, could cause instability and other problems. The MDAC 2.8 and 2.7 literature talks about OS versions, etc. Be aware of the ramifications, and be ready to rollback.

Would installing MDAC 2.8 help other db's like R:Base or does this just affect MS SQL?

I'll keep you all posted on how it does over the next few days. Thanks for the tip Bob!
