hi Ariel,
I know that your discussion is from a while ago, but if you're still interested in learning how to connect to HCP via odbc, then please see our new hana academy video here. i'm not 100% sure if this will help you in what you're trying to do.
you'll need to have the hana client installed for the odbc driver. the video mentioned above shows you where to find instructions on that process.
I hope this helps,
-jamie
