The base M$SQL protocol is Sybase. So you can actually develop a Sybase module and the talk natively to the M$SQL server. You do have to run a service pack on M$SQL2000 to get it to run Sybase compatibility. And the Sybase SDK to build the module isn't the cheapest thing on the planet. Every project that I have had regarding this type of setup hit the floor when the money issue came up so I don't have any actual experience in doing this.
