[plug] connecting to windoze databases from linux

[psteege at tpg.com.au]

I am running RH71 and wanted to start learning about databases and 
SQL.
I have setup MYSQL and connected my Apache to use data from my mysql
database.

I would like to know how to connect my linux system to a windoze 
machine and get data from a MS database, either by connecting to an 
Access database (*.mdb type), or by connecting to a running sql 
server 7.0.

I am not totally familiar with ODBC yet, but is that one way to do it 
from Linux?

Regards,
Phil
