Hm.. I don't know how JDBC works but it definitely does not use 
ODBC\libiodbc at all. The way is similar to ODBC, OLE DB and so on, i.e. you 
provide connection string and get data. It works on Windows with Jet; it 
works on Java with JDBC. So I was curious how it can work on Mac and Mono, 
where Excel ODBC drivers and Jet are not available.

What kind of information are you expecting? How to set up MySQL and MySQL 
ODBC driver? I've added version information about MySQL and MySQL ODBC 
driver.
