It is, indeed. I have used it with great success with both PostgreSQL and
DB2. It takes a little bit of work to configure it, and you need to know
the ODBC API (the Microsoft documentation is the best available; they did
invent it, after all).

In addition, the Qt database API seems to be pretty popular. It looks like
you're planning on a GNOME app, but you might try KDE instead.
