You can read an Excel file in Java using the Apache POI library: http://poi.apache.org/
There are some code samples on their howto page which will tell you how to read an Excel file: http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/how-to.html
To store the data it would be better for you to use the JDBC driver for MySQL rather than ODBC since ODBC relies on native libraries. You can get the connector here: http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/
If you absolutely must use ODBC, then you can see how to do that here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/jdbc/bridge.html
