Need input: MySQL vs. ODBC

Hey everyone. We've been looking into writing a device that allows you to interface to a SQL server from IB programs. Basically, you would be able to connect to a SQL server and perform SQL operations from within comet. My question is would anybody be interested in this functionality for more than just MySQL? Writing a straightforward MySQL interface would be relatively simple, but in order to talk to other SQL databases it looks like i'd have to code up an ODBC interface, which as some of you know is fairly complex and unintuitive.

So I'm inclined to do the MySQL driver, because i know a lot of you use it, but are there any among you that would be interested in a more generalized SQL driver? Something that could connect to PostgreSQL or other DSNs? Keep in mind that a more generalized driver will require a more robust and complex interface...

Thanks!
