I do not know your setup buy the path You just described is just fine, MySQL with ODBC is definitively the best option you will have, about the ODBC driver cecjk the MySQL for the latest version, do not use the latest version of MySQL always use the one before, the latest version is always Beta.
I have seen the discussion abou ADO and ODBC, which makes no sense to me, I handle both of our Database systems (SQL-Server, MySQL and Oracle) all from ODBC , I personally do not believe is that bad at all, it mainly depends how you want to control and access your databases, if you do not want to install ODBC on every machine you plan to use you may use the direct connection approach or a DB server that you can make also, but I strongly recommend ODBC above all. Good Luck.

The app I have in mind needs serial I/O and database access, and presently uses the database toolkit in Windows. Serial seems no problem in Linux but I assume ODBC may be. The only option I can find from a brief Google is to use some VIs for MySQL that seem to be using system exec.vi.
