This is true - the ODBC API is marked deprecated in the 10.8 SDK.  That means you should expect the iODBC libraries to no longer be included with OS X, starting as soon as OS X 10.9.

Instead, you should develop using the iODBC libraries and headers from www.iodbc.org.  

You could either statically link to libiodbc.a, include libiodbc.dylib within your app bundle, or install libiodbc.dylib into the /usr/local/lib folder as part of your app installation.

This appears to be a driver-specific issue, so please contact Actual Technologies tech support (su...@ac...).
