Read the whitepaper on ODBC on the OpenLink website (http://www.openlinksw.com) and some of their documentation. A large number of the features and facilities of their drivers are badly needed in I-Connect as well. The security issues alone with I-Connect are enough for me to declare it as a non working solution. The fact that some people elect to open up their databases for free access and update by a large number of users doesn't help me much. There are several other issues as well.
