Hello Harshi,
Yes you need them.
When you implement them I encourage running the resulting migrate
driver with step by step mode of debugger (e.g. Qt Creator's one) and
setting breakpoints in the various drv_* methods to learn what happens
in the whole importing process.

kexidb__* tables deliver metadata created only in a case when source
database was created with Kexi. It's never the case for ODB, so you're
not implementing these methods.
