Not that I've tried terribly hard, but I haven't had any luck using the
Server Explorer with anything but SQL Server and OLE DB sources. I have
rolled all my own ADO.NET code for ODBC connections, and done table
maintenance with the native DB tools externally. Perhaps VS 1.1 might have
better support for ODBC in Server Explorer, but I doubt that support will
ever be as stable and complete as it is for SQL Server and OLE DB, if only
because there are so many levels of ODBC drivers and such variation in
driver quality.
