Hi Al,
Actually it has more to do with the driver supporting different network protcols not ODBC. ODBC is a client side tool. The ODBC driver will communicate with the database server over a network protocol like TCP/IP or Named Pipes. I would forsee that the MySQL driver would probably do something like TCP/IP
