Dang. You look away for a split-second, and BWL has built a new toy :) Note, though, that the pmyssql I refer to below promises to work on any (relevant) OS: Windoze, Linux, OS X, *BSD, ... This can work as it on top of FreeTDS and requires only a C compiler. What Bryan is cooking here seems a little scarier (mixing CLR and MinGW?) and less applicable beyond 'doze. I, for one, would want an RMSSql to be used from a real OS. But then I don't really need it these days (lucky me...)
