 Because there was no maintainer and in particular nobody could update it
to work correctly in Unicode build (which will be the default, if not only,
in wx3).

 With a lot of bugs that nobody was willing to fix.

 No, there are other libraries which are better than wxODBC for this.
Database access doesn't need to be a part of cross-platform GUI toolkit.

 No, nobody was.
