The ODBC library was given to the Mercury project by its authors
in 1997, which was before parallel grades existed. It has seen
very little maintenance since then. Even if it did work in parallel
grades, it would be only be by accident.

If you want to use this library in that environment, I think you
will have to make it work yourself; I don't believe any of the
current members of the Mercury project have ever done any
but incidental maintenance on it.
