I confess that what little I've heard about ODBC, it's a terrible 
idea to use it, but I'm not much of a database guy, so I'm not 
really in a position to judge. Regardless, it would probably make 
sense to support both ODBC _and_ the individual drivers. Yes, 
that's more work, but it provides greater flexibility as well, 
and we could start with ODBC support so that we have _something_ 
and add support for individual drivers later so that we get the 
better performance. Then folks can use whichever they prefer, and 
we get something working sooner rather than later, even if it 
takes longer to get it all.
