Try using OleDbFox. You can download this tool from UT's download section.
This tool has worked very well for us, and it's command interface is very similar to VFP's SqlPassThru set of commands.
In order to connect to your database backend you will need to build a connection string (MS ADO could help you acomplish this).
Wish you luck.
