Dick,

I guess if you do all Mysql from PHP and pass the info to Unicon as
parameters or whatever, that will work and not require any database
capabilities from your Unicon.

ODBC doesn't actually involve any OS kernel calls or hooks beyond
generic (TCP, etc.).
If you are using Unicon built from another machine, if that iconx
contained statically linked libodbc.a code, or if you copied a
libodbc.so over along with your iconx, and set your environment
variables and odbc.ini right, you'd be in business.  I note that the
iconx &features that you listed via your iversion.php suggests it
wasn't built with any ODBC facilities.
