Am I understanding correctly that I need an ODBC plugin to access an SQL database? Is the one from "actual technologies" the one to get?

Not entirely true.
You need an ODBC driver and the ODBC plugin to access any database that does not have a plugin that you can access via ODBC.

So, since there Is a PostgreSQL plugin, you would not need to use an ODBC driver or plugin to access it from RB
Same for mySQL.

But if you want to get at an Access Database on OS X you would require the Actual technologies ODBC driver
Or if you want to access MS SQL on OS X

On Windows you may already have those ODBC drivers so all you'd need is the ODBC plugin in REALbasic
