I looked at it briefly using Jose's headers.  The C API is unfriendly low level.  You have allocate your own storage for a SELECT query etc.  I hear the ODBC drivers are so-so and there seems to be little interest of the core developers to remedy this.  There only apprears to be a very weak users group.  I would look elsewhere.
