You can actually connect directly to SQL
server by turning on the web listener and pass your SQL statements in an HTTP
request.
It is pretty easy to do and reduces the
overhead of another layer.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and
Databases
Hi Ahmed,
Flex can't directly connect to databases
(Oracle,MSSQL,Access,Excel
sheets,etc,etc).
In Flex you have 3 ways to access data:
Webservices, HTTP services and
RemoteObjects.
This 3 ways are the only available to
retrieve/insert/update/delete data.
If you want to connect to Access database, one way
is to use HTTP
services and point them to some scripting
technology (PHP,ASP???)
When the first data connection kit was available
to flash (before data
components were available) there was a sample application
with ASP
pages that allowed those operations.
To be honest, why connect Flex to a mdb database?
I mean, a 15K license to create an application
with a mdb database ...
it's simply odd...
