different ODBC driver manufacturers. Because of all the possible combinations

-report the bugs/problems you have encountered in the latter case.
+As of v2.6 of wxWidgets, the wxODBC classes now fully support the compilation

-
-wxWindows provides a set of classes for accessing a subset of Microsoft's ODBC (Open Database Connectivity)
-product. Currently, this wrapper is available under MS Windows only, although
-ODBC may appear on other platforms, and a generic or product-specific SQL emulator for the ODBC
-classes may be provided in wxWindows at a later date.
-
-ODBC presents a unified API (Application Programmer's Interface) to a
-wide variety of databases, by interfacing indirectly to each database or
-file via an ODBC driver. The language for most of the database
-operations is SQL, so you need to learn a small amount of SQL as well as
-the wxWindows ODBC wrapper API. Even though the databases may not be
-SQL-based, the ODBC drivers translate SQL into appropriate operations
-for the database or file: even text files have rudimentary ODBC support,
-along with dBASE, Access, Excel and other file formats.
-
-The run-time files for ODBC are bundled with many existing database
-packages, including MS Office. The required header files, sql.h and
-sqlext.h, are bundled with several compilers including MS VC++ and
-Watcom C++. The only other way to obtain these header files is from the
-ODBC SDK, which is only available with the MS Developer Network CD-ROMs
--- at great expense. If you have odbc.dll, you can make the required
-import library odbc.lib using the tool `implib'. You need to have odbc.lib
-in your compiler library path.
-
-The minimum you need to distribute with your application is odbc.dll, which must
-go in the Windows system directory. For the application to function correctly,
-ODBC drivers must be installed on the user's machine. If you do not use the database
-classes, odbc.dll will be loaded but not called (so ODBC does not need to be
-setup fully if no ODBC calls will be made).
-
-A sample is distributed with wxWindows in {\tt samples/odbc}. You will need to install
-the sample dbf file as a data source using the ODBC setup utility, available from
-the control panel if ODBC has been fully installed.
-
-\subsection{Procedures for writing an ODBC application using wxDatabase [DEPRECATED]}
-
-You first need to create a wxDatabase object. If you want to get information
-from the ODBC manager instead of from a particular database (for example
-using \helpref{wxRecordSet::GetDataSources}{wxrecordsetgetdatasources}), then you
-do not need to call \helpref{wxDatabase::Open}{wxdatabaseopen}.
-If you do wish to connect to a datasource, then call wxDatabase::Open.
-You can reuse your wxDatabase object, calling wxDatabase::Close and wxDatabase::Open
-multiple times.
-
-Then, create a wxRecordSet object for retrieving or sending information.
-For ODBC manager information retrieval, you can create it as a dynaset (retrieve the
-information as needed) or a snapshot (get all the data at once).
-If you are going to call \helpref{wxRecordSet::ExecuteSQL}{wxrecordsetexecutesql}, you need to create it as a snapshot.
-Dynaset mode is not yet implemented for user data.
-
-Having called a function such as wxRecordSet::ExecuteSQL or
-wxRecordSet::GetDataSources, you may have a number of records
-associated with the recordset, if appropriate to the operation. You can
-now retrieve information such as the number of records retrieved and the
-actual data itself. Use \helpref{wxRecordSet::GetFieldData}{wxrecordsetgetfielddata} or
-\helpref{wxRecordSet::GetFieldDataPtr}{wxrecordsetgetfielddataptr} to get the data or a pointer to it, passing
-a column index or name. The data returned will be for the current
-record. To move around the records, use \helpref{wxRecordSet::MoveNext}{wxrecordsetmovenext},
-\rtfsp\helpref{wxRecordSet::MovePrev}{wxrecordsetmoveprev} and associated functions.
-
-You can use the same recordset for multiple operations, or delete
-the recordset and create a new one.
-
-Note that when you delete a wxDatabase, any associated recordsets
-also get deleted, so beware of holding onto invalid pointers.
