I'm not convinced that you need to build an ODBC driver - why not just use ADO? http://www.nullskull.com/a/1585/sql-operations-on-a-text-file-with-adonet.aspx[^]

I would call it very, very labor-taking work. Those drivers should be very complicated. I would suggest look at these open-source projects:
http://www.unixodbc.org/[^],
http://www.iodbc.org/dataspace/iodbc/wiki/iODBC/[^].

At the very least, you will be able to see what's involved.
