1. hdbc. I'd like to connect to MySQL, so I need the ODBC backend. I couldn't get this to work under OS X, while I installed myodbc, which seems to be broken.
FWIW, I've had good luck with the SQLite3 bindings for HDBC on MacOS X. I had a bit of a hiccup with Linux, but that was only because the version of SQLite on the Linux box was a bit too old. (3.2.x versus 3.4.x on the MacOS box.) With 3.5.9 on the Linux box, everything worked swimmingly. I haven't tried the MySQL support, but I don't need it. The timestamps on the other packages were old enough (~2007 IIRC) that I didn't even try 'em. Depending on what your application is, you might get more mileage out of a binding to CouchDB or some other post-relational storage system. -- Paul
