New Cygwin perhaps?
That would give you a Unix-like API to write something against.

Oh hang on: I think there's a [link|http://unicon.sourceforge.net/|Unicon] binary for Windows that can talk ODBC. It should be quite easy to do what you want with that. You'll probably want to read [link|http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~fbalbi/unicon|Frederico Balbi's Unicon ODBC Interface].

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

New 'Quite Easy' is just what I need
Because as always, time is tight.

Thanks everyone for your input - I've just done a rudimentary table dump with UnIcon, so it looks like it'll be the winner. Especially since the first demo program I found did almost exactly what I'm after :) So we have a solution!

At least, it'll buy us some time til we have to pay a lot to implement some kind of kludgy closed-source solution, or something :-)

Phew, software-project-in-near-panic goes right back to 'on track...'
John does the "I'm not worthy!" thing at the IGM :)

Like when you're stuck in a traffic jam for an hour only to learn that the root cause was somebody on the roadside losing a piece of their McGriddle between their plump thighs.
