Have you considered JDBC? There are free and commercial versions
available for the 3000. Other Java solutions might include the
TurboImage class that Mike Yawn wrote or ADBC from www.advnetsys.com.
I have found that type 4 JDBC drivers blow away ODBC in a read-only
data pull. Java is well supported on Linux too.
