Dan, thanks for the follow-up, and thanks for the educational way in
which you answered my question. My apologies for the lack of a subject
line; I was posting from a Web interface while at work, and I simply
spaced it.

Thanks. I forwarded it to myself at work, and I'll probably try it.

I wonder the same thing. When I open the connection in Sequel Studio
Management Console (or whatever it's called), I see that bunches of
databases and tables inside those databases exist, but the only thing I
can look at currently AFAIK is a single view. Eventually, when the
application is finished, I'll have access to more views but still no
tables. If dbman only shows available tables when it opens, I may not
be able to navigate to the view I need, anyway.
At least I've demonstrated I can connect with dd in J as well as with
RODBC in R and with M-x sql-ms in Emacs.
Thanks,
Bill
