yum search odbc
What you're looking for is the unixODBC package. In CentOS it includes
an ODBC driver for MySQL as well.

No, anything with "java" in the name is JDBC, not ODBC.
Google is your friend as well:
http://www.google.ca/search?q=openoffice+odbc+linux
The first one is a tutorial on how to connect OOo to MySQL, quite old
though. The second one is an article in Linux.com with some
information on JDBC vs. ODBC.
In general, however, I agree with Matt that your problem is OOo
related and asking on an OOo list would be more fruitful.
