Starting with Mac OS X 10.2, there is an ODBC Administrator app in 
/Applications/Utilities. I haven't used it, but would be *very* 
interested to hear how it goes and if you get Rev. working with ODBC on 
OS X.

The only time I've used ODBC before was on Windows and am familiar with 
setting up DSNs there. But on Unix/Mac OS there seems to be a panoply 
of different ODBC drivers and layers. Not sure where to start!
