Speaking of mysql can someone give me an idea if it is possible to have
mysql look like a sql (or any other commercial sql server) to a windows nt
client. I want to set up a sql server on my freebsd machine (are there any
commercial sql servers that are _easy_ to get to work with nt as a client
[micro$oft access denied] ) I am willing to pay { well to a reasonable
extent } since it is to be for commercial use, of course I like the fact
that msql has a c library interface --- but how to get i so that access
can look at some tables.
