I have played with it some, but never developed a complete app with SQL access. It seemed to me the biggest pain was going to be getting an ODBC driver on the Mac. I also noticed that some of the return data from my SQL's was not exactly like I expected using the ODBC driver, but then that could just have been my unfamiliarity with SQL Server. I could find very little documentation or examples to use. If you find some good samples, I would love to see them. We use a Tandem mainframe computer here and I will probably being accessing it through ODBC soon, hopefully just from NT and not on the Mac, but you never know.
