Good idea.  I'd be willing to put some time and effort in such a project.  I'm on Windows and can test for DB/2, Oracle, InterBase, MySQL and SQL Server if need be.  It would be cool to have a complete coverage of the ODBC API and have a package that is "self-contained" (no dependency on a particular TimeStamp implementation defined elsewhere for instance).  We should use/fix whatever is broken/missing in the "base" image.

Is this the start of a new project?  ;)

We should joint efforts to have an up-to-date and complete ODBC package.

I can help with Monticello stuffs....

Let me know.

Cheers.
