It will in version 2.1 :-)

Unfortunately, I found that not many database backends support
scrollable cursors, some even don't tell you the current position
of the cursor within the result set or the size of the result
set.

mxODBC 2.1 does support most of the extensions, though, and also
comes with some new ones.
