The dbo "prefix" is just the schema that the object is defined under. So if your ODBC connector is using the dbo credentials to login that object should be in it's default schema.
In my experience the "native" (type 4) SQL Server drivers are better. There's a Microsoft driver and jTDS. I don't have much experience with the MS driver, but the jTDS one is good.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
