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.
