Right here:

[Edit: I thought that was it, but trudging through the links, I never found an actual download link... sorry! I'm still looking!]

Here's a versiontracker.com page with all sorts of ODBC drivers -- it looks as though quite a few are commercial products, though. Maybe ODBC drivers aren't cheap? I don't know...

If you're working with a Java app, you need a JDBC driver, not ODBC.

I tried looking for one of those a few months ago, and I'm pretty sure there isn't anything for the PowerPC processor.

Twister: how does that work? Is it seamless with apps on the Mac?

Actually it's AWESOME. It's a small app and runs just as good as the PC i'm remotely connecting to.

PS What app are you using xplicit

No, I know how Remote Desktop works, I've used it quite a bit. I was wondering how the database works across there.
