gda-odbc uses unixODBC, and the same connection string you use for it
should work with gda-odbc.

To debug, just make sure gda-odbc-srv is not running and:

$ gdb gda-odbc-srv
(gdb) b gda_odbc_connection_open
(gdb) run

then, when it gets to gda_odbc_connection_open (for this, of course, you
should try to open a connection from the GNOME-DB front end), step one
instruction at a time (command 'n' in the (gdb) prompt) and see what it
does. It should display the source code while you run it.

as I said, the connection string should be the same as you use in
unixODBC.

I think I answered correctly, anyway, if somebody has it working, please
send your connection string, as I don't use the ODBC provider much :-)
