In my experience the ODBC driver is found under the Drivers tab in the
ODBC Data Source Administrator. To make it available you create a DSN
under either the User DSN or System DSN tab, where the data source is
available either to the user that created it or to the system,
respectively. This assumes you have the appropriate user privileges. The
DSN creation process allows you to choose the correct driver from those
listed in the Drivers tab.
