You need to define what you meant by 'encrypt ODBC'.
Assuming that you can take an odbc connection over SSL. Then while the connection is over SSL, it would be encrypted, however on either end, you wouldn't have encryption. So the ODBC isn't encrypted, just the link it uses.
Does that make sense?
Does it solve the requirements? Maybe.
