We're using the DB engine for WSUS and potentially Ipswich's What's Up.
Both use database engines that come with the programs. my understanding is
that the WSUS DB engine allows for a M$SQL environment.
Kinda hoping to find a way to translate the VBScript examples they gave to
perl since I dont feel like learning yet another language, let alone one
that does something completely idiotic like using the same symbol for both
'set a to b' and 'test if a equals b'.
