It *is* possible to get an ODBC connection working to MySQL just using Apple's ODBC Administrator.


The odbctest program will work fine.


*However*, Excel v.X (ie Query) will *not* work unless you install the iODBC SDK. This is because Query is a CFM application, and the ODBC libraries that Apple installs are Mach-O libraries (a different format). One file the iODBC SDK installs is a "bridge" that lets CFM apps like Query use the Apple libraries. After you install the bridge, Query works fine :-)
