Check out iodbc. It is an ODBC compatible library for UN*X. It compiles cleanly under FreeBSD. I have the tar file if you can't find it. It allows you to write generic ODBC C/C++. I also believe JDBC (Java Database Conenctivity) is included as part of the JDK from Sun. MS Access (and/or MS SQL) should be JDBC compatible soon if not already. I have not seen any ODBC compatible modules for interpreted scripts (Perl, Tcl/TK, Python, etc), but some DBs do have interactive clients that can be easily embedded into such scripts (like Kubl's isql, from www.kubl.com).
