Indeed, it does. It seems that there will be a 64 bits driver:

Problem is: you can not install it on a system that already has 32 bits 
office software installed. That will rule out, well, lets be 
conservative, 98% of the potential users? :-(

I fear I may have to create a proxy SQL driver that communicates with a 
32 bits process that connects to the database or something like that :-( 
Not a very nice prospect.
