Check out iodbc. It is an ODBC compatible library for UN*X. It compiles 
cleanly under FreeBSD. I have the tar file if you can't find it. It 
allows you to write generic ODBC C/C++. 

I also believe JDBC (Java Database Conenctivity) is included as part of 
the JDK from Sun. MS Access (and/or MS SQL) should be JDBC compatible 
soon if not already.

 I have not seen any ODBC compatible modules for interpreted scripts
(Perl, Tcl/TK, Python, etc), but some DBs do have interactive clients that
can be easily embedded into such scripts (like Kubl's isql, from
www.kubl.com).
