Yes and yes ;-) If you use DBI, you need to use one of the supported
backends.
As of right now, those are MySQL, SQLite, Oracle. I am mentoring a student in
the 'Google Summer of Code' project going right who is adding PostgreSQL to
the list; this is progressing well.
Nobody has 'connected' DBI and ODBC.
By the way, there is a mailing list r-sig-db for database discussions related
to R.
