On winsdows i could get by by using ODBC and the dll's to access the solid database but i want to eventually run it on a linux server.
ODBTP (http://odbtp.sourceforge.net/) allows you to hit Windows ODBC drivers over the network from any machine with a C compiler. If it sounds like something you'd want to use, download my python interface (being merged into the main project soon-ish) from http://benjiyork.com/odbtp.html.
