Last year, we supported two MS SQL server -> SAP DB migration projects. One project was an internal evaluation how easy a particular product can be tweaked to use SAP DB instead of MSSQL. The communication layer was here ODBC and we made good progress. The second project was external by a German government department (Bundeskartellamt). Their clients were implemented using VB/ODBC or ADO, respectivly, and the main business logic was done in db procedures.
