I'm lucky enough, I think lucky :), to have ColdFusion as my middle tier.
Connected to Oracle, MS SQL, and MySQL, Oracle 100% now but started with MySQL
and MS SQL. Also have a friend who uses PHP fronting MySQL. RemoteObjects
calling ColdFusion .CFCs totaly ROCK for database communication (interaction)
in Flex. The learning curve has not been too bad, 4 months start learning to
development testing with only one developer and no Java or ActionScript
experience.

My current Flex development work is heavily MS SQL Server based. To
help with this I run my Flex swf inside a wrapper. The user now has
a desktop exe application. I use Janus (www.spaghettisort. com) for
this and it works great. You can connect to MS Access, MS SQL and
Oracle data. Check it out, it may be what you're looking for.
best, Graham Nichols
