Never had a problem. Don't use it, so that may be why... :)
Except for an iSeries/DB2 ODBC connection we've eliminated ODBC across
the board. Unfortunately, that one also supports several vendor apps
and the vendors can't or won't program to OLEDB.

There is an OLEDB for MySQL:

Not really. It's a different product, with many of the same
functions. Shouldn't be that difficult to use if you can handle MS
SQL.

Absolutely true. Except when it isn't. :)
These statements only apply to specific configurations, so it's
impossible to really make them across the board.

There are MySQL groups and mailing lists that can help too.
