Hi, Ammon,
I would have responded this morning, but I assumed someone with more
knowledgeable would have answered by now. If the SQL server is set to be
accessible over the intranet, this access is most likely occurring through
TCP. REBOL can be installed on the Linux box and set to access the server
via the network. To my knowledge the only freebie SQL server access
software is for MySQL. /Command offers Oracle, etc.
I offer 10,000 apologies in advance if I either don't know what I'm talking
about or have misunderstood your requirements.
